Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a serious concern that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Crooked or crowded teeth can create tight spaces that are difficult to clean with regular brushing and flossing, allowing bacteria to build up and cause inflammation. Orthodontic treatment helps by straightening teeth and eliminating these hard-to-reach areas, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.
When your teeth are properly aligned, it is easier to clean the gum line thoroughly, preventing bacteria from accumulating and reducing the risk of gum disease. Investing in orthodontic treatment not only gives you a beautiful smile but also protects your gums for years to come.
