Ask Drs. Erkis & Hickman: Why is it so important to have straight teeth?

Some people wonder why Reynoldsburg, OH orthodontists Erkis & Hickman Orthodontics and our team work tirelessly to give our 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 at Drs. Ron Erkis & Dr. Lynnsay Hickman 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!

If you’re wondering whether your teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, please give us a call to set up a consultation. Drs. Erkis and Hickman can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment.
