There are many reasons that orthodontic care is vital for our patients and they go far beyond the cosmetics of poor tooth alignment:

• It is easier to keep properly-aligned teeth clean.
• A correct bite makes it easier to chew.
• Properly-aligned teeth can make it easier to speak clearly.
• A person with nicely-aligned teeth is often more willing to smile and laugh.
• A poor bite can cause severe wear on teeth that don't line up properly.
• Sleep apnea or jaw issues can result from a poorly-aligned bite.
