Crowded Teeth

Crowded Teeth: A Common Orthodontic Concern

Do you have overcrowded teeth and feel self-conscious about your smile?  You’re not alone! Crowded teeth are a common orthodontic concern that affects many people.

But the good news is several effective treatments are available to straighten and align your teeth, including fixed braces and Invisalign.

What are Crowded Teeth?

Overcrowding can occur when there isn’t enough room for all the teeth to fit correctly. This can cause teeth to overlap or twist, leading to a misaligned bite and an unflattering smile. Crowded teeth can also be harder to clean, which increases the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.

Straightening Teeth with Fixed Braces

Fixed braces are a traditional and effective orthodontic treatment for crowded teeth. They work by applying small amounts of pressure to the teeth, gradually moving them into their correct position. Fixed braces can be made of metal or ceramic and are attached to the teeth with brackets and wires. They typically require regular visits to the dentist for adjustments and may take a few years to complete.

Fixing Crowded Teeth with Invisalign

Invisalign is a teeth straightening device that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign is virtually invisible, so you can smile confidently during treatment. The clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth and fit snugly over the teeth, applying gentle pressure to move them into place. Invisalign treatment usually takes about 12-18 months and requires regular check-ins with the dentist.
