Benefits of Orthodontic Emergencies
Orthodontics helps correct misaligned teeth and bite issues, enhancing facial symmetry and overall aesthetics. By improving alignment, it prevents excessive wear on teeth, reduces the risk of cavities and gum disease, and promotes better chewing, speech, and digestion. Additionally, orthodontic treatment can alleviate jaw pain and discomfort caused by misalignment, contributing to long-term oral health and overall well-being.
