Get a Better Night’s Sleep with Good Orthodontics

Problems with your teeth that need to be rectified through orthodontics can be more than just an aesthetic concern. They can be the cause of health problems and can actually stop you from getting a good night’s sleep.

This lack of sleep is generally due to the discomfort and impact on your breathing stemming from these dental issues. This can have a knock-on effect on your overall health, as good sleep Is important for your body’s overall functionality. Braces are an effective treatment for eliminating orthodontic problems with your teeth. With the vast amount of experience that we have here at Specialist Orthodontist Harley Street, we can help resolve these dental issues and give you a more restful sleep.

Breathing Issues

If you’re struggling to breathe, this can make sleeping very difficult. A lack of sleep can cause a number of other problems, including a disrupted immune system, a higher risk of depression and anxiety, and a general lack of concentration throughout the day[1]. Dental problems such as gaps in the teeth can cause your breathing to be affected. These gaps may be present in the mouth due to undersized teeth or physical trauma, or even because of a jawbone that is too large for the teeth you have.

Very simply, for those out there who do suffer from this problem, orthodontic treatment can help resolve these issues. Here at Specialist Orthodontist Harley Street, we can provide Invisalign braces as well as other types of orthodontics that will shift the positioning of your teeth and make the improvements that you need.

Feeling at Ease

Sometimes what stops us from sleeping well at night is stress or a feeling of being unsettled. Surprising as it may sound, the health of your teeth can play a part in how well you sleep because of the emotional impact they can have. Having visual problems with your smile, such as crooked teeth or gaps between your teeth, can contribute to a lack of confidence. This may be a source of mild anxiety for some and create difficulties in feeling settled when going to bed at night for the rest you need.

Too Painful to Sleep

Another thing that can keep you up at night is pain and discomfort. Nagging, persistent discomfort is a direct result of there being problems with your teeth. Interestingly, it is not only the mouth and gums that can experience pain as the shoulders and neck are also at risk of being burdened by the discomfort produced by dental problems.

Using orthodontics, we can help align your teeth into a position such that they don’t cause you pain. Using treatments such as Invisalign, we can gently manoeuvre your teeth into the desired position, giving you both a healthy and pleasing smile.
