Ask Dr. Roth: Are straight teeth that important?

Some people wonder why Jenkintown orthodontist Dr. Michael Roth and our team 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 at Roth Orthodontics 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! Modern orthodontics provides you and your family with a wide range of choices for your advanced dental care. Dr. Roth chooses the treatments and products that he knows will correct your smile with the greatest chance of success.

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 complimentary consultation. Dr. Roth can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment.

Enjoy the weekend!
