Generally, orthodontic treatments are used to improve the function of the mouth for better dental health. Properly aligned teeth are less prone to dental decay and gum disease and also make it easier to talk and chew comfortably. Orthodontic teeth-straightening treatments also provide cosmetic benefits, such as a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile.
