According to Orthodontics Australia (Australian Society of Orthodontists’ public information and advice channel), over half of Australians (55%) feel self-conscious about their teeth. Moreover, nearly two thirds (62%) would like to do something to correct their crooked smiles. It’s not surprising that the results also revealed that given the opportunity, “nearly half (46%) of Australians would like to ‘change’ their teeth over the chance of changing any other facial feature.”

Here are some of the most common reasons why people seek orthodontic treatment:
- Crossbite

Other Benefits of Orthodontics
While orthodontic treatment gives you an aesthetically pleasing smile, it does so much more. It can dramatically decrease your future risk for tooth decay, gum disease, chewing problems, speech difficulties, jawbone loss, bruxism or teeth grinding.
When you have a perfectly aligned smile, you look fantastic and likely feel good about yourself. You’re more likely to smile confidently in your personal and professional life.
And because straight teeth are easier to clean, you’ll likely get fewer cavities, and your teeth will be less likely to discolour or wear unevenly. Your gums are also healthier when your teeth are aligned. That’s because flossing between straight teeth is easier. Healthy teeth and gums enhance your appearance, boosting your confidence even more.
