We all know that braces, both traditional and clear aligners, can correct misaligned teeth to reveal a stunning straighter smile. But did you know that isn’t all they’re good for? Here are a few other surprising things that braces can correct.
Misaligned jaw. Often caused by an uneven bite, jaw misalignment can cause issues resulting in facial pain and TMJ.
Underbites. An underbite is a lower jaw that is more forward than the upper jaw. Braces can bring an underbite to proper alignment.
Periodontal problems. When teeth are incredibly misaligned, brushing and flossing properly can be hard, leading to gum problems. A straighter smile is easier to care for.
Speech problems. Crowded and crooked teeth can affect the way a person talks. A straighter smile may help improve pronunciation.
