When most people think about straightening teeth they think about having a beautiful smile and how it will make them feel.  We agree.  Creating beautiful smiles is one of the most rewarding things that a dental team can do.  We know that when people are confident in their smiles it can change their lives.

We are also excited about the way straightening crooked teeth contributes to the health and function of your dental system.  It is important that your teeth are aligned to balance the force on them and allow them to work together as they are meant to.  This protects the teeth so they last longer and can prevent issues like excessive clenching, grinding, or TMJ joint problems.

Straight teeth are easier to keep clean.  Clean teeth are less likely to develop periodontal gum disease.  Because this disease contributes to conditions like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, having straight teeth can help you have a longer and healthier life.

Finally, when you have straight teeth you are much more likely to smile.  Smiling creates brain chemicals that improve your mood and health.  Smiles also make great gifts and affect the moods of others.  After all, Mother Teresa once said, “Peace begins with a smile.”

If you or someone you know would benefit from having straighter teeth, we can help.  We offer both Fastbraces and Invisalign as orthodontic options.  Call:  (626) 285-0285  Alhambra, CA
