The Hidden Costs: What You Pay When You Don’t Get Braces

It’s true. Getting braces costs money, but not getting braces may cost you more in the long run. Here’s how: 

Future Health Problems

It may not be common knowledge, but your oral health is undoubtedly linked to your overall health, which means your teeth play a major role in how good you feel. When your teeth are misaligned, you could experience a wide range of problems that could potentially put you at risk for further health issues in the future. 

To start, crooked teeth are harder to keep clean than straight teeth. With more cracks and crevices for plaque to build up, individuals who skip out on the orthodontic treatment they may end up with an overgrowth of bad bacteria or even gum disease. Misaligned teeth may also cause other health issues, including headaches, Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ), and heart problems. Medical bills from these issues add up quickly, but many of them can be avoided with the help of orthodontic treatment.
