Ask Dr. Gregory Scott: Why are straight teeth important?

People wonder why Dr. Scott and our dedicated team work tirelessly 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, you see, 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, please give us a call to set up a consultation. Dr. Scott can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment at Scott Orthodontic Associates. Enjoy the rest of your week!
