More Than a Pretty Smile: What Dental Alignment Does for Your Health
Straight teeth look good. But how your teeth line up also affects how easily you can keep them clean, how evenly they wear, and how comfortably you chew.
When people think about straightening their teeth, they usually picture the result: a confident smile in family photos, at graduation or in a job interview. That's a great reason. At MetroDental, we also look at dental alignment the way we look at all dental care, as part of your overall health.
Oral health matters more than many people realize. The World Health Organization estimates that oral diseases affect nearly 3.7 billion people worldwide, and that they share risk factors such as sugar, tobacco, and poor hygiene with other noncommunicable diseases.1 How your teeth fit together is one part of that picture.

Aligners or braces?
Both can straighten teeth well. Your dentist will tell you honestly which suits your bite better.
