At Norwest Orthodontics, we believe that orthodontic care is about more than just achieving a beautiful smile. While a straighter smile is a great benefit, orthodontic treatment also has a profound impact on your overall health.
Led by Dr. Shimanto Purkayastha, the only twice-certified Australian Orthodontic Board Certified Specialist in the Norwest area, you can trust that you’re receiving the highest clinical standards. His dedication to clinical excellence ensures that every patient receives exceptional care. With his expertise, we’ll explore how orthodontics can enhance your dental health, well-being, and overall quality of life.
1. Better Oral Hygiene
When your teeth are properly aligned, maintaining oral hygiene becomes much easier. Straight teeth reduce the risk of plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease, as they are simpler to clean. Orthodontic treatment makes brushing and flossing more effective, leading to healthier teeth and gums in the long term.

2. Improved Digestion with a Proper Bite
A well-aligned bite allows for more efficient chewing, which is the first step in digestion. If your teeth aren’t properly aligned, you may struggle to chew food thoroughly, leading to digestive problems down the road. Orthodontic treatment helps ensure that your teeth and jaw are functioning optimally.
3. Reduced Risk of Jaw Problems with Bite Correction
Orthodontic treatment can correct bite issues like overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Addressing these issues helps alleviate the risk of jaw pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and other jaw-related problems. With the right treatment, you can enjoy better jaw health and comfort.
4. Improved Speech with Better Alignment
Misaligned teeth can contribute to speech issues, such as lisps or difficulty pronouncing certain words. By improving the alignment of your teeth, orthodontics can help enhance your speech, boosting your confidence in social and professional settings.
5. Boosted Confidence and Mental Health
A beautiful smile isn’t just about looks—it’s about how you feel. Many people who undergo orthodontic treatment experience a significant boost in self-esteem and confidence. When you feel better about your smile, you’re likely to feel better about yourself overall, leading to improved mental and emotional health.
