Why do we correct crowded teeth? Why have teeth straightened or aligned? How important is that?

That’s what we’ll talk about in this next video…

Aligning teeth – most people think that aligning teeth as being an aesthetic issue – to make things look better. But I right that as the third reason for doing it on the scale of from the most important to the least.

THE most important reason for aligning teeth and creating enough space for all teeth, not necessarily 32 teeth because many people have the wisdom teeth out, but let’s say at least 28, is that will provide a better airway.

So the main reason for aligning teeth is to create a better airway. More space in the upper jaw, giving your nasal passages more room, more space in the lower jaw, giving your tongue more room to sit without falling back and blocking your airway. So airway is number one.

Secondly, it is much easy to clean teeth that are all in a line than teeth that are crowded and so oral hygiene is an important part of that.

Thirdly, as the icing on the cake, it looks better as well. So getting teeth aligned is an important part of a persons health profile.
