Straight Teeth and a Good Bite

Everyone knows straight teeth can make for a beautiful smile. Most people know a good bite frames the smile by supporting the cheeks, lips, and jaws. But few people realize that straight teeth, in the proper bite, will help protect your teeth long term and reduce the need for future dental work. This is because straight teeth in the proper bite prevent abnormal wear and attrition of the teeth and allow for better oral hygiene. We have to keep our teeth healthy for a long time. The average American life span is about 80 years now, and increasing. Imagine the forces teeth are subjected to daily. Can you think of anything else that is subjected to these forces every day for 80 years? That is why it is important to protect them. This video produced by Invisalign shows why it is important.
