This delight is increased when patients gain so much more\nfrom their <strong>straighter teeth Wimbledon<\/strong>: enhanced oral\nhealth, boost in self-confidence to advantage of career-building opportunities and\nresumption of social engagements they were otherwise embarrassed to take part\nin.

These improved functions also aid in allowing patients to consume a\ndiverse variety of foods they may otherwise have refrained from eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next to this, is the benefit of improved\ndigestion and the absorption of more nutrients. By biting and chewing foods\nthoroughly, a patient can speed up the digestive process, as the stomach does\nnot have to compensate for poorly chewed food by working harder to process\nthem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At-home oral hygiene practices are easier to maintain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients will find that it is much easier and\nquicker to keep teeth and gums clean and food-free when they are in alignment.\nCrooked teeth are a problem to brush and floss because of spaces that are hard\nto reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speaking patterns can be corrected<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients may not be aware of this, but straight\nteeth play a critical role in clear speech.&nbsp;\nProtruding dental arches or an overcrowded mouth can hinder a patient\u2019s\nability to pronounce certain words correctly or clearly, which may affect their\nconfidence to engage with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Removes stress on jawbone and eliminates resulting pain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stress placed on jawbone and jaw joints from\nmisaligned teeth and jaws can result in headaches and neck and facial pain.\nSeeking dental care to correct these issues provides relief from the discomfort\nand pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Teeth are less likely to fracture or break<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protruding teeth are not only unsightly, they\nalso pose a structural risk. Should a patient fall or receive a knock in the\nmouth area, teeth that jut out forward are more likely to fracture, chip or\nbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You get to smile more<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is quite common for patients with imperfect teeth to hide their smiles out of embarrassment. Smiling has long been associated with happiness and mental wellbeing, which is another great reason to invest in an aesthetically-pleasing smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you like your smile to make a great first impression? Maybe your desire for that promotion you\u2019ve always avoided has deepened and you want to take the next step? An improved smile would do wonders for your confidence, so why not schedule a consultation with one of our experienced dental practitioners at <strong>Wimbledon Dental Care <\/strong>and find out what we can do for you and your smile.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It may be surprising for some patients to hear that there are many varied reasons for having perfectly aligned teeth that go beyond purely cosmetic ones.
