brush teeth
Overlapping/overcrowded teeth can create problems when brushing or flossing. Brushing does not clean the spaces between teeth, and there are spaces that cannot be reached with a brush or floss. This causes food particles to remain in the mouth, attracting bacteria that can act on the food particles and cause cavities. With braces, the crookedness of your teeth will be corrected. This will make the teeth straighter and the teeth will not overlap. Food particles won't get stuck between teeth. This greatly reduces the chance of oral decay. Teeth that are straighter and less crooked are easier to clean through daily brushing and flossing. Since the teeth are uncrowded and easy to clean, no plaque or tartar build-up occurs. If tartar builds up, it will be obvious and not hidden. Wearing braces can make your teeth cleaner, especially for people with crooked, crowded, or too many teeth.
No more bite issues
Misalignment of teeth can be seen and malocclusion of the jaw is also observed. In this condition, the upper and lower jaws do not match. Typically, the upper jaw is slightly higher than the lower jaw. This helps protect cheeks, lips, and tongue. In this case, the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws fit together smoothly. However, overbite and underbite problems can occur when the bite does not stay or when either the lower jaw or the upper jaw protrudes past the other. Superfluous teeth or too many teeth and abnormally shaped teeth are some of the causes of this problem. Due to this problem, pain is experienced in the jaw and mouth area. The pain sometimes moves to the neck, and some people even experience headaches as a result. When using braces, excess teeth are removed from the mouth. Braces push protruding teeth into their position. When this happens, the jaw may not have room for all the teeth. The dentist will then recommend removing the "excess teeth". When this condition is addressed with braces, the pain disappears.
Eliminate mouth/jaw pain
Jaw and mouth pain are common experiences for those who need braces. When there is a problem with your teeth, you will experience constant pain in your mouth. This may be due to constant pressure felt in the mouth. Misaligned teeth create extra pressure and more pain when chewing. When you wear braces, the pressure in your mouth is significantly reduced. "Unwanted" teeth, misaligned or crooked teeth are moved into the correct position. Braces help straighten them so they don't press against each other and put pressure on your mouth. When the pressure is relieved, the pain and discomfort felt in the mouth and jaw are replaced by ease when eating. Many people who start wearing braces experience a reduction in stress almost immediately. Since there is not enough space, overcrowded teeth are removed and the pressure felt disappears. With braces, chewing food and speaking become easier and more comfortable. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can cause persistent pain in the mouth, which can be identified by a popping/clicking sound heard when the mouth moves. This is a serious dental problem that requires immediate care, and braces can also help overcome this problem.
Reduce dental problems
Dental fillings, crowns, bridges, and root canals are serious dental problems that can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. All of these problems that require dental surgery are caused by teeth that are not straight or aligned. Tooth decay can cause problems that can lead to tooth loss. Rot is caused by acids released by bacterial action. Bacteria act on sugar or food particles left in the mouth. The acid released by the bacteria eats away at the teeth and causes decay. If left unchecked, teeth can decay further and lead to tooth loss. When teeth are straighter and positioned correctly, there is less chance of cavities. This can prevent tooth loss to a great extent because there is no need for root canals, fillings, etc. to restore the tooth. Braces help maintain the correct position, greatly reduce cavities due to proper cleaning of the teeth, eliminate associated dental problems and restore oral health.
