We all know the oral and other obvious benefits of straightening your teeth, but you probably didn't know that doing so is great for your general health too. When you have straighter teeth, they are easier to clean and floss and lead to healthier gums. And since poor dental health has been linked to heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and more, clean teeth means less chronic inflammation of the gums and supporting tooth structures. Studies show that if patients reduce the chronic inflammation that gum disease causes by having good oral hygiene, they can also have a positive effect on their diabetic, heart and overall health condition. Plus, straighter teeth means fewer "smile lines" on your face. Who doesn't love that? To learn more, go to https://www.smiledirectclub.com/ .
