Ask Drs. Razdolsky and Vij: Why is it important to have straight teeth?

People have been wondering why Drs. Razdolsky and Vij 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 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! We recognize, however, that the decision to receive orthodontic treatment is personal; and at Forever Smiles, we promise to respect your decision by providing the most efficient, effective, and personal orthodontic care possible.

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. Drs. Razdolsky or Vij can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment at Forever Smiles.
