Crowding & Spacing Correction
Crowded or widely spaced teeth can lead to various dental issues. Explore our teeth spacing correction services designed to align your teeth properly and enhance your oral health.
Teeth Crowding
Teeth crowding occurs when there is insufficient space in the jaw for all teeth to fit properly, causing them to twist or overlap. This condition can result from early or late loss of baby teeth or abnormal tooth growth.
In severe cases, a jaw expander may help to create more space. Metal braces or Invisalign® can also gradually move the teeth into a better position to alleviate crowding.
Teeth Spacing
Teeth spacing is characterized by excessive gaps between teeth, often due to small teeth, missing teeth or abnormal gum tissue. Common treatments for spacing issues include braces or clear aligners, which help close gaps and align the teeth.
If you or your child has issues with teeth crowding or spacing, contact us to determine the most suitable treatment.
