In severe cases, a poor bite can cause chronic speech and breathing problems. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Restore confidence in your smile<\/strong> &#8211; Having a crooked smile can be a great source of anxiety for many people and especially if it is the front teeth. Children and adolescents who grow up with crooked smiles can suffer a huge\u00a0confidence knock. Having straighter teeth can help restore your smile, your confidence and improve your overall facial aesthetic. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Improve your dental hygiene<\/strong> &#8211; Misaligned teeth can make it difficult to reach certain parts of your mouth when you\u2019re brushing and flossing and the sooner this is addressed the better in the long run. Gum health is very important for overall general health too with links to heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer&#8217;s so being able to easily clean teeth, especially in later life, is crucial. Bacteria can also become quite easily lodged if your teeth are poorly aligned, leading to tartar and staining.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Create a foundation for other treatments<\/strong> &#8211; Perhaps you\u2019re looking at having dental implants, veneers or crowns and you\u2019d like your teeth to be in the best position beforehand &#8211; Park Lane can help.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Avoid gum damage<\/strong> &#8211; When you have a crooked teeth this can cause damage to your gums &#8211; an example of this is when a patient has a deep bite, your lower front teeth can end up biting into the gum that is behind the upper front teeth, causing chronic discomfort and severe gum recession (this can cause problems like sensitivity).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Here at Park Lane we offer a range of orthodontic treatment to suit different tooth irregularities and alignment problems.
