Teeth Crowding & Spacing Correction
Crowded or widely spaced teeth can cause numerous dental problems. Explore our services for correcting teeth crowding and spacing to restore your teeth to their ideal alignment, enhancing both their function and appearance.
Teeth Crowding
Teeth crowding occurs when there isn’t enough space within your jaws for all your teeth to fit comfortably, causing them to twist or shift. This can happen if baby teeth are lost too early or too late, or if adult teeth grow in the wrong way.
Crowded teeth can hinder proper cleaning between them, raising the risk of cavities and gum disease. Addressing crowding helps you achieve better oral hygiene and prevent future dental issues.
We offer various treatment options for teeth crowding, including expanders to widen the jaw, Invisalign or clear aligners that gradually move teeth into the correct position. This personalized approach ensures that you receive the most effective and comfortable treatment for your specific needs.
Teeth Spacing
Gaps between teeth may affect both aesthetics and function. Orthodontic treatments, such as braces or clear aligners, can address these issues by gradually moving teeth into their proper positions. The goal is to achieve an even distribution of teeth, which can improve oral hygiene and enhance a patient’s smile and overall dental health. We perform a comprehensive assessment and tailor the treatment plan to your unique needs, ensuring effective and efficient spacing correction.

What causes crowded teeth?
Teeth spacing issues can be caused by several factors:
- Early loss of baby teeth leading to misaligned adult teeth
- Extra teeth affecting the position of other teeth
- A large jawbone creating too much room for teeth
- A large tongue causing teeth to flare and create extra space
- Missing teeth resulting in gaps
- Natural skeletal development
- Small teeth that don’t take up enough space
