Ask Dr. Blair Adams: Why is it so important to have straight teeth?

People wonder why Dr. Adams and our team work tirelessly to give our patients straight teeth. Of course it’s nice to have a smile full of evenly aligned teeth, but did you know that straightening your teeth can keep them healthier? Straight teeth lead to better oral hygiene, increasing your chances of keeping your own natural teeth for a lifetime.

Straight teeth are less prone to decay, because they collect less plaque—the sticky colorless substance that forms on our teeth and leads to tooth decay; and they are easier to keep clean! With an orthodontic treatment plan specifically tailored for you, you can be confident that the ending result will be a smile that’s good for your life. Dr. Adams, and our talented staff work hard to bring you the latest orthodontic options including Invisalign® “invisible” braces and ceramic braces, as well as TMD treatment.

If you’re wondering whether your teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, give us a call to set up a consultation. Dr. Adams can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment at Adams Orthodontics.
