Ask Dr. Agahi: Why should I have straight teeth?

Some people wonder why Dr. Farrah Agahi works so hard to give her patients straight teeth. Of course it’s nice to have a smile full of evenly aligned teeth, but did you know that straightening your teeth can keep them healthier? Straight teeth lead to better oral hygiene, increasing your chances of keeping your own natural teeth for a lifetime.

Straight teeth are less prone to decay, because they collect less plaque—the sticky colorless substance that forms on our teeth and leads to tooth decay; and they are easier to keep clean!

At Smiles by Dr. Farrah Orthodontics we take great pride in helping our patients achieve a beautiful, glowing smile that they can share with confidence! Dr. Agahi and our experienced staff spend time with each patient individually in order to create a completely personalized treatment plan for the best results.

If you’re wondering whether your teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, please call us to set up a consultation. Dr. Agahi and our team can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment at Smiles by Dr. Farrah Orthodontics.
