When teeth fit together properly they will last longer and need less dentistry over time. When teeth are in the proper position it is easier to effectively brush and floss so that you reduce the risk for cavities and periodontal disease.
When teeth don’t fit together properly you may see wearing or chipping along the edges of your teeth or even along the gumline. By putting teeth in the proper position, the teeth are taken out of trauma and the risk of continued wearing, chipping, or even breaking is reduced.
