Some make it past eight years without touching it.<\/p>\r\n<p>The main advantage here is shared bite pressure. When teeth are jagged, one high corner takes all the shock every time you chew toast. Once we level the line, chewing forces get spread across six teeth instead of battering one vulnerable edge.<\/p>\r\n<p>Plaque also finds fewer ragged notches to cling to once the edges are smooth. You still have to thread floss between the contacts every single night, or dark coffee and red wine will stain the fine margins. A soft electric brush keeps the surface glossy.<\/p>\r\n<p>Beyond that, leave crusty baguettes to your back molars. Don&#8217;t open plastic sauce sachets with your front teeth. A basic night splint will sort out any grinding while you sleep.<br \/><br \/>Visit our page on <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.envysmile.co.uk\/composite-bonding-london\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"536\" data-end=\"569\"><strong data-start=\"537\" data-end=\"565\">composite bonding London<\/strong><\/a> to explore treatment options, costs, and expert advice.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If your smile line looks stepped or ragged, you might not want braces to move teeth that are already fairly straight.
