Ask Dr. Rad: Why are straight teeth so important?

Some people wonder why Dr. Mehdy Rad and our team work tirelessly to give our patients straight teeth. It’s nice to have a smile full of evenly aligned teeth, but did you know that straightening your teeth at Rad Orthodontics 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 Rad Orthodontics, our team wants to give you and your family the best orthodontic care for the best smiles. It is our goal at Rad Orthodontics to provide patients with a positive orthodontic experience that is comfortable, effective, and most of all, fun!

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. Dr. Rad can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment.
