Causes gum disease <\/strong>&#8211; Developing periodontal, or gum, disease is a common ramification of crooked teeth. Gum disease develops when bacteria in our mouth forms into plaque. The problem accentuates when your gums don\u2019t fit securely around your teeth, leaving more room for bacteria to grow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Creates difficulty cleaning teeth<\/strong> &#8211; Toothbrush bristles and floss have a difficult time reaching the nooks and crannies between crooked teeth, which can lead to bacteria growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.

Over time, this can lead to undue wear of tooth enamel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Increases risk of tooth injuries<\/strong> &#8211; Protruding upper teeth are more likely to chip or crack in the event of an accident.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Creates chewing difficulties<\/strong> &#8211; Protruding upper and lower teeth may rub together in a way that prevents normal jaw alignment, making it difficult to chew.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Causes bad breath<\/strong> &#8211; As bad as crooked teeth look, they can smell even worse. Unless you\u2019ve just eaten an onion, bad breath is generally caused by lingering mouth bacteria, which can be difficult to eradicate from in between crooked teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Damages self-esteem and happiness <\/strong>&#8211; Several studies have indicated that a better looking smile increases the amount you smile, which can lower stress and improve cognitive ability. Having crooked teeth may reduce your confidence in your smile, thus reducing how much you show your pearly whites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Decreases overall health <\/strong>&#8211; Few people realize that dental issues can seriously affect more than just their oral health. Studies by the ADA have proven that oral infections caused by bacteria buildup may lead to more serious ailments, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes and pneumonia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Clear Solution to Crooked Teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reading this list may have convinced you to finally get your teeth straightened. Fortunately, a solution like Invisalign provides an easy, nearly transparent way to fix crooked teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Invisalign is a technology that uses retainer-like transparent aligners to straighten your teeth and\/or align your bite. You wear the aligners for at least 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating or drinking. Then, every two weeks, you put in a new set of aligners to further shift your teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Most Invisalign patients love that the technology doesn\u2019t depend on bulky metal braces to correct their smile. In fact, most people don\u2019t even realize a person is wearing Invisalign unless they\u2019re told.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Invisalign aligners are easy to remove, making it simple to brush and floss your teeth. Cosmetically, this also prevents stains from accumulating on your teeth, a common problem with metal braces.<\/p>\n<p>Average Invisalign treatment lasts between 8 months and a year, but differs widely by individual case.<\/p>\n<p>To determine if you\u2019re a good Invisalign candidate, set up a consultation with a dentist or orthodontist who supports Invisalign. An Invisalign Assessment Test can also be a good indication, but understand that only a certified expert can tell you with certainty whether or not Invisalign will work for you.<\/p>\n<p>Many people are surprised to find that crooked teeth can affect more than just their dental health, possibly affecting their heart and even their mind. Straightening your teeth with a solution like Invisalign can improve your smile and help you live a happier, healthier life.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;]<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_blog_0  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_pb_posts et_pb_bg_layout_light \">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module_inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_blog_0  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_pb_posts et_pb_bg_layout_light \">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_ajax_pagination_container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<article id=\"post-10370\" class=\"et_pb_post clearfix et_pb_blog_item_0_0 post-10370 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-march category-latest-news category-orthodontichealth tag-national-nutrition-month tag-nutrition-tips\">\n\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/myorthodontists.info\/?p=10370\" class=\"entry-featured-image-url\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/myorthodontists.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/NutrtionMonth2025-1080x675.png\" alt=\"Nutrition Tips for National Nutrition Month\" class=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myorthodontists.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/NutrtionMonth2025-1080x675.png 1080w, https:\/\/myorthodontists.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/NutrtionMonth2025-980x980.png 980w, https:\/\/myorthodontists.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/NutrtionMonth2025-480x480.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1080px, 100vw\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"entry-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/myorthodontists.info\/?p=10370\">Nutrition Tips for National Nutrition Month<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"post-meta\">by <span class=\"author vcard\"><a href=\"https:\/\/myorthodontists.info\/?author=1\" title=\"Posts by practicem\" rel=\"author\">practicem<\/a><\/span> | <span class=\"published\">Feb 27, 2025<\/span> | <a href=\"https:\/\/myorthodontists.info\/?cat=6\" rel=\"tag\">03-March<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/myorthodontists.info\/?cat=29\" rel=\"tag\">latest news<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/myorthodontists.info\/?cat=25\" rel=\"tag\">Orthodontic Health<\/a> | 0 Comments<\/p><div class=\"post-content\"><div class=\"post-content-inner\"><p>Nutrition Tips for National Nutrition Month: Nourish Your Body and Smile March is National Nutrition Month, the perfect time to focus on what we eat and how it can impact our overall health and oral health.
