A straighter bite is a healthier bite

1 MIN READ

The top 3 reasons straight teeth can change your life

Aaron Britt
Senior Director of Brand, CandidPro

A straighter smile doesn't just look good, it's far better for dental patients as well. According to a 2021 article in the New York Times, “Only within the past few decades have researchers begun to appreciate the extent to which oral health is inextricable from a person’s overall physical, emotional and psychological well-being. Gum disease has been linked to a wide array of disorders, including diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, premature birth and even respiratory infections.” 

Excessively crowded, spaced, and protruding teeth—the three most common bite issues we fix at Candid—have been linked to greater risks of gum disease, tooth decay, excessive tartar, excessive plaque, and more. 

When it comes to straightening teeth, it's absolutely critical to do it the right way. This is why Candid is only offered through dental professionals to deliver patients healthy and aesthetic smiles.
