Below, we delve into the advantages of straight, healthy teeth:<\/span><\/p>\n

Health Benefits of Straight Teeth<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Straight teeth are tied to overall health<\/b>
    \n<\/span>To boil this perk down to an easy rule, <\/span>straight teeth can improve general health<\/span><\/i>. Granted, they lead to a confident smile and what many consider an ideal appearance. Nevertheless, our dentists note that <\/span>    cosmetic dentistry ties into comprehensive health<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>For instance: straighter, healthier teeth allow you to eat as you choose. Thus, you can enjoy a well-rounded diet without worrying about chewing pains.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  2. Easier to clean and keep clean<\/b>
    \n<\/span>Crooked, misaligned, and\/or chipped teeth can complicate brushing and flossing. Food and plaque build up in spaces that a brush may struggle to reach. Moreover, you must work harder at each brushing to ensure that you have reached all vulnerable points. <\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>However, straight teeth avoid such difficult scenarios. They\u2019re easier to clean and check for food and cavities. Indeed, straight teeth build up far fewer cavities than misaligned ones, since all corners are easy to reach and clean. Plus, the ease of flossing straight teeth lends to a strong habit of doing so. And people who clean their teeth regularly also tend to clean their gums, strengthening their overall hygiene.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  3. Reduce the risk of dental trauma\/injury<\/b>
    \n<\/span>Beyond cavities and plaque build-up, misaligned teeth can also lead to dental injuries. This category covers a range of possibilities, including chipped teeth, gum infections, TMJ\/TMD disorders, bruxism, and more. <\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>Yet straight teeth and jaw alignment significantly reduce the risk of these problems. Working with a dental professional allows you to <\/span>    straighten your teeth and enjoy stronger overall health<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/li>\n

  4. Reduce wear and tear on teeth<\/b>
    \n<\/span>Given their daily usage, teeth undergo wear and tear throughout normal life. However, that wear becomes harmful when teeth are misaligned\u2014they push one another, jostling for space. This, in turn, places some at odd angles and vulnerable positions. <\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>With straight teeth, you experience fewer misaligned bites. The strongest portions of teeth can stand up to daily use, while the sensitive portions remain protected. This way, you can enjoy oral health and the use of your teeth for a lifetime. <\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>If you want to have your teeth straightened, the Smile Reston Heights team suggests that you choose <\/span>    Invisalign instead of traditional braces<\/span><\/a>. In this vein, Smile Reston Heights is planning an Invisalign event to kick off soon: National Align Your Teeth Day.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    National Align Your Teeth Day<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Organized by the American Academy of Clear Aligners, <\/span>National Align Your Teeth Day<\/span><\/a> occurs on August 11th and is aimed to spread awareness of straight teeth\u2019s benefits. Our practice, and others around the nation, will observe the day by publishing helpful information on teeth alignment treatments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    By tying this event to the benefits of straightened teeth, we hope to encourage more patients to seek Invisalign treatment. While it may be an investment, we believe it\u2019s a smart and worthwhile investment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
