In this article we shall talk about some of the major advantages of installing orthodontic braces. For Moor Orthodontics and Moor Braces, consider OrthoEXC.

Braces Prevent Gum Disease:

braces are used to treat orthodontal diseases. An individual can have a wide array of orthodontic complication and some of them (such as overcrowding) can make it difficult for an individual to brush the teeth properly. If the teeth are overlapping; if the arrangement is naturally flawed, cleaning can become difficult, because the bristles of the brush fail to access the areas. Food can easily get stuck in these areas, making it difficult for the individual to remove the bits and pieces of food.

Over time, this leads to formation of plaque. Plaque is a result of the formation of bacteria which releases certain acid. This acid leads to gum diseases (called periodontal diseases). If left untreated it can lead to gum bleeding and receding gum line. Periodontal diseases can also cause of bad breath and bad oral hygiene. Proper alignment of teeth is very necessary of the good oral hygiene. This is a must and it is something that you simply cannot avoid or overlook. This means that people with orthodontal issues are more susceptible to periodontal diseases.

This is where braces come in handy. Braces can fix the alignment of the teeth, making it accessible for the individual to reach the areas which were otherwise quite difficult to access.

Cavity:

as we have already mentioned, people with orthodontal issues or malignment of teeth are prone to bad oral hygiene and health and this is a result of plaque formation. Plaque causes bad gums and periodontal disease. Add to that, the fact that plaque is the major cause of damage to the teeth in the form of cavity formation and deterioration. Yes, you heard it right. Plaque formation can also lead to cavity and cavity-related issues such as tooth deterioration, inflammation and infection. Cavities are very common for people with bad oral hygiene and with orthodontal issues or malignment of teeth. Cavity can also lead to loss of teeth. Braces can fix the issue of malignment and in help the individual maintain optimal level of oral hygiene for good oral health and prevention of cavity formation. It is actually the plaque (which is basically bacteria) that causes the wearing out of the enamel of the teeth.

These complications arising for malignment makes us understand the multi-layered importance of brace. Braces not only ensues aesthetics and a good smile but also promote oral health and hygiene.
