Ask Dr. Honig: Why is it so important to have straight teeth?

Some people wonder why Dr. Honig and his team work so hard to give our patients straight teeth. Of course it’s nice to have a smile full of evenly aligned teeth, but did you know that straightening your teeth can keep them healthier? Straight teeth lead to better oral hygiene, increasing your chances of keeping your own natural teeth for a lifetime.

Straight teeth are less prone to decay, because they collect less plaque—the sticky colorless substance that forms on our teeth and leads to tooth decay; and they are easier to keep clean!

If you’re wondering whether your teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, give us a call to set up a consultation. Dr. Honig and team can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment.

Happy New Year from the entire team at Gordon C. Honig Orthodontics!
