In 2012, a survey done by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry showed that 45 percent of adults agree that a smile is the most attractive feature people have, no matter their age. 62 per cent state that they are more inclined to invest into maintaining their teeth for an attractive smile, and 35 and 40 percent of men and women, respectively, agree that having a less attractive smile makes an individual less appealing.
The dental irregularities, without proper care and treatment, will only progressively worsen over time. Our teeth, because of daily use, naturally wear down with age. Not just that, but we also find that our facial muscles become weaker, bones become more brittle, and joints become less flexible. It is part of the normal ageing process.
Over the years, such physical changes will only add up, leaving us with the possibility of developing uneven, crooked teeth. Dental irregularities do not just look unappealing, but they are also hard to maintain. Food gets stuck in between teeth, resulting in the staining of teeth and, eventually, tooth decay. Unless treated early, tooth decay can result in infection, pain, and potential health issues, such as tooth loss, septicemia or cellulitis.
Teeth- and gum-related problems can be complicated and pose a health risk if ignored. Orthodontic treatment can help prevent such health issues by realigning your teeth and promoting better dental hygiene and care. Only qualified orthodontists or dentists have the necessary equipment and experience to treat you. A dentist generally deals with jaw, nerve, teeth, and gum-related diseases, whereas an orthodontist treats specific dental issues, such as the realignment of your jaws and teeth.
