The many benefits of having straight teeth

  • Crooked teeth reflect light differently and often appear dark, dull and shaded, even after bleaching.
  • Straight teeth reflect light evenly and appear white and healthy.
  • Straight teeth are easier to keep clean because they are easier to brush and floss. Clean teeth look whiter and healthy gums look better.
  • Halitosis or bad breath is a result of bacteria that grows on food particles left in the mouth. Clean straight teeth look better and smell better.
