Straight Talk…..why are crooked teeth a problem. Thought I would share with you some issues crooked teeth can have on your health. If you have crowding you are more likely to get more build-up and tartar which harbors bacteria and increases your risk of periodontal disease, tooth and bone loss. Deep bite causing premature wear and chipping on the lower front teeth, Cross bite abfraction-small notch at the gum line. If your teeth are in malocclusion it can cause joint pain which could result in TMJ.

Malocclusion affects 74% of American adults. Staright teeth are healthier teeth. Straight, properly aligned teeth can help you avoid the negative effects of periodontal disease. The new way of staightening teeth is Invisalign.

Invisalign is clear braces. A great alternative to the metal traditional braces. With Invisalign get new trays every 2 weeks, and treatment is often shorter and easier than traditional braces. Invisalign is very affortable, and an added bonus  if you have dental insurance. Most insurances give patients an extra allowed amount on top of the annual coverage.

Call Lesia for a complementary consult or talk with one of the Hygienist to see if you are candidate and lets get your mouth back to health and an added bonus you will have a perfect smile
