The Truth About Crooked Teeth

While crooked teeth may just seem like a cosmetic issue, they’re actually the root cause of a variety of dental health issues. Your teeth are naturally designed to sit flush against each other without gaps. Crooked teeth trap bits of food that are hard to remove by brushing and flossing, leading to an increased risk of cavities and decay. An unbalanced bite caused by crooked teeth that don’t come together cleanly can cause TMJ pain as well as tooth grinding and chronic headaches, too.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, fixing crooked teeth may alleviate some or all of the symptoms.


How Our Dentists Fix Crooked Teeth

Invisalign Clear Braces

For adults with crooked or misaligned teeth, Invisalign is often the best, most comfortable, and most discreet option available. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign clear aligners are:

  • Much more comfortable
  • Easily removed and cleaned
  • Able to straighten teeth quickly
  • Nearly invisible — nobody will be able to tell!

Ask your dentist for more information.

Other Treatments for Crooked Teeth

In some cases, teeth that have small gaps between them or are just a little crooked may just be a cosmetic issue. In these cases, cosmetic bonding or veneers can eliminate the appearance of gaps and other small imperfections. This also makes it easier to brush and floss your teeth.

In some cases, severely misaligned teeth may need to be extracted and replaced with a dental implant. Dental implants are also a great way to prevent crooked teeth, too. When a tooth is lost, neighboring teeth may begin to shift and become misaligned. Dental implants prevent this.
