Straighter teeth can enhance the appearance of your smile and help many patients feel more confident.
- Better oral hygiene
Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, helping reduce areas where plaque and food debris can collect.
- Improved bite function
Correcting alignment can help distribute biting forces more evenly, reducing unnecessary stress on certain teeth.

Orthodontic treatment can help maintain healthier teeth and gums over time when combined with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
