Misaligned teeth can lead to premature wear, tooth loss, gum disease, and the buildup of bacteria associated with bigger problems, including heart disease. When your teeth are properly aligned, the health benefits are clear. It's easier to brush and floss around properly aligned teeth, and you are less likely to have pockets between gums and teeth that trap bacteria. More than seven out of ten American adults have some kind of issue with their bites, such as crowding, spacing, or overbites "Malocclusion".
If you are experiencing any of the following, it may be time to talk to Dr. Deore about the way your teeth are aligned.
