Straighten crooked teeth to prevent gum disease

21 Sep 2024

I was at my gym this morning and got talking to a middle-aged lady in the changing room. I soon realised that she had Invisalign braces on; being a platinum provider of Invisalign®, I couldn’t resist asking her how she was getting on with her braces. She told me she had gum disease because her teeth were so crowded that they were hard to clean, which led to puffy and bleeding gums. She told me that she was forever visiting her hygienist until she was advised to straighten her teeth with dental braces.

Out of all the different types of braces available, she thought Invisalign® would suit her lifestyle because it is discreet. She has already noticed a considerable difference in her gums and finds them so easy to clean as her teeth are straightening out. So she is clearly en route to a healthy and straight nice smile!

When adults have braces, it is mainly thought that they are having them for cosmetic reasons, but that is not always true. Braces are recommended to prevent gum disease in those who find it difficult to clean between overlapped and crowded teeth. Gum disease, in turn, has been associated with many systemic illnesses. Plaque which causes gingivitis and periodontitis, has loads of bacteria in it, which are also linked with health problems such as stroke, heart disease and diabetes. So, plaque removal equals keeping gum disease at bay. However, with crowded and overlapped teeth, plaque removal with flossing and interdental brushes can be difficult to achieve.

That is why we recommend Orthodontic treatment with braces to correct the alignment of teeth, and once they are straighter, plaque control becomes much easier. With so many different types of braces to choose from, clear fixed braces are the choice of many adults, and Invisalign® is another very popular one.

Healthy gums equate to healthy teeth because the gums and supporting bones around teeth act like foundations for them. The healthier the foundations, the stronger the teeth are going to be. If gums and bones soften due to the activity of bacterial toxins, the teeth are eventually going to get loose, and then your oral health is on a downward spiral. This can be easily prevented by visiting your hygienist or dentist and asking them for recommendations on the prevention of this disease because we all know prevention is always better than cure.

When did looking after your health become something to apologise for?

We see this constantly. People think fixing their smile is “vanity”. But avoiding it chips away at your self-esteem until you stop smiling in photos or cover your mouth when you laugh.

Our £35 check-up exists to break this cycle. X-rays included. No judgement. Just catch things before they force your hand.

You’re allowed to invest in yourself.

DM or use the link in our bio to book your private patient check up today.

Straighter teeth won’t fix your life.

But the confidence? That changes everything.

We see this in every consultation.

Someone looks at their 3D scan for the first time and goes quiet.

They’re not seeing teeth.

They’re seeing years of hiding their smile in photos.
Wedding moments where they didn’t laugh properly.
Conversations where they covered their mouth.

The teeth take 6-12 months to fix.
The confidence starts the day you book.
