Better sleep
Having misaligned teeth can have an impact on far more than your confidence.
If your teeth are not straight, it can cause nocturnal grinding, also known as bruxism. While this may sound harmless, this can cause discomfort in your jaw, which can lead to disturbed sleep. Even worse, this can cause you to wake up with a sore neck, a headache or even a migraine. Yikes!
Better health
While straighter teeth will benefit your dental health, your overall health will improve too.
As there will be fewer places for plaque to hide and accumulate, it will be less likely to make it into your bloodstream. And so, you will bypass the majority of issues that can come with having misaligned teeth and higher plaque levels in your mouth, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and even cancer.
Better mindset
OK, so it would be pointless to not mention how your confidence will improve.
And with higher levels of confidence comes an improvement in mental health and wellbeing. With straighter teeth, you are more likely to smile more and as a result, your brain will release more of a chemical called dopamine. This chemical is linked to improved mood and creativity, so who knows? Maybe having your teeth straightened will help you to get a promotion at work or help you with other creative endeavours.
Better nutrition
If your teeth are misaligned, it is unlikely that you are chewing your food correctly. This can lead to issues with nutritional absorption, as the stomach is unable to break down incorrectly chewed food.
Having straighter teeth puts your body in sync; better chewing equates to easier digestion of food, allowing you to reap the nutritional benefits.
Better life
Add all of these benefits together, and you will undoubtedly have a better life overall. More smiling, more creativity and better absorption of food, you will notice how much of an impact having a straight set of teeth can create.
