How Orthodontics Improves Oral Health
Orthodontic treatment is not just about appearance—it plays a major role in maintaining oral health. Crooked or misaligned teeth make it harder to brush and floss, which increases the risk of cavities and gum disease. By aligning teeth properly, braces or Invisalign improve oral hygiene and prevent long-term dental problems. Correcting bite issues also reduces strain on the jaw and helps prevent conditions like TMJ disorder or uneven tooth wear. Straight teeth improve chewing efficiency, speech clarity, and overall oral function. At Excella Orthodontics, we’ve seen patients not only smile with confidence after treatment but also enjoy healthier teeth and gums. Orthodontics is more than cosmetic—it’s a preventive treatment that keeps your smile strong for life.
