Misaligned teeth can lead to premature wear, tooth loss, gum disease, and the buildup of bacteria associated with bigger problems, including heart disease.

7 out of 10 American adults have some kind of issue with their bites.

Crowding, spacing, or overbites are types of malocclusion – abnormal tooth alignment.

​

Our doctors may have discussed your type of malocclusion with you:

The Connection Between Your Health and Misaligned Teeth

PAINFUL GUMS & GUM DISEASE

It’s hard to remove plaque and bacteria from misaligned teeth. This can lead to inflamed gums, soft tissue damage, receding gums, pockets between teeth and gums, bone loss, and tooth loss.

 

Early signs of gum disease:

  • red gums

  • bleeding when you brush or floss

  • bad breath

 

There may be no signs of gum disease until the advanced stages.

TOOTH AND GUM DETERIORATION & TOOTH LOSS

Poorly aligned teeth can put extra stress and pressure on teeth and jawbone. This can cause:

  • receding gums

  • gum disease

  • indentations at the gum line

  • cold sensitivity

  • fractured/cracked teeth

  • tooth loss

OVERALL HEALTH RISKS

Problems that start in your mouth can spread to the rest of your body. Severe gum infections may increase the risk of:

  • heart disease

  • stroke

  • lung diseases

  • problems in pregnancy

  • complications related to diabetes

  • Alzheimer's disease

1. Bacteria form a film underneath the gums, particularly where teeth are misaligned. Gum pockets form, further trapping bacteria and debris. 2. Bacteria and its byproducts trigger an inflammatory response. 3. Your immune system creates white blood cells and proteins to fight the inflammations. 4. The combination of bacteria, toxins, white blood cells, and acute phase proteins damages the cells that line your coronary arteries, resulting in plaque and leading to hardening of the arteries.

When your teeth are properly aligned, the benefits are CLEAR.

You may be surprised to know that the benefits of having properly aligned teeth extend far beyond a confident smile. According to the American Dental Association, straightening your teeth can actually significantly affect your overall dental health. Think about it — a smile can hardly be perfect if it’s not a healthy one. Fortunately, with Invisalign®, having a confident smile and reducing your risk for tooth decay and gum disease go hand in hand.

  • Healthier Gums – It’s easier to brush and floss around aligned teeth, and you are less likely to have pockets between gums and teeth that trap bacteria.

  • Improved Hygiene – Properly aligned teeth reduce plaque retention, tooth decay, and the risk of gum disease.

  • Less Wear and Trauma – Aligned teeth reduce the risk of tooth chipping, breaking, and wear, which can require expensive procedures to repair. Proper alignment also reduces stress on the jawbones and joints.
