Dental Services that Can Address Crooked Teeth

Several dental services can be used to manage crooked teeth. The course of management will depend on the severity of your issue and what you hope to achieve. Some common services for crooked teeth include:

Dental Veneers

Veneers are thin, porcelain shells applied to your teeth’ front surface. They can use them to correct several cosmetic dental issues, including crooked teeth, chipped teeth, and gaps between teeth. 

They can cover minor imperfections, such as chips, cracks, and stains. Porcelain veneers can also change the shape, size, and colour of teeth.

Crowns

Crowns restore the function and appearance of teeth damaged by decay, injury, or wear and tear. They can also be used to support dental bridges and to cover up stained or discoloured teeth. 

Crowns can also be used to support a dental bridge. Crowns are made from porcelain, gold, or both materials.

Smile Makeovers

A smile makeover is a procedure used to improve your smile’s appearance. It can involve one or more cosmetic dental procedures, such as teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and dental crowns. A smile makeover can give you the confidence you need to show your smile to the world.

Clear Aligners

If you are unhappy with the alignment of your teeth, you may be a candidate for clear aligners, also known as invisible braces. 

Clear aligners are orthodontic procedures that use clear plastic aligner trays that help straight teeth gradually. They are an alternative to traditional metal braces. They are removable aligners and invisible braces.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Crooked Teeth

Several factors can cause crooked teeth, including:

  • Genetics.
    If your parents or grandparents had crooked teeth, you might also be more likely to have them.

  • Thumb sucking.
     You might have developed crooked teeth if you sucked your thumb as a child.

  • Pacifier use.
    Like thumb sucking, using a pacifier can also cause crooked teeth.

  • Injury.
    An injury to the mouth can cause teeth to become crooked.
No, crooked teeth will not necessarily affect your facial appearance. However, if you have severe crowding, you might want to consider orthodontic aligners to improve the appearance of your teeth and smile.
The length of time it takes to manage the alignment of teeth will depend on the severity of your crowding and the type of braces you choose. Metal braces are typically worn for 24 to 36 months, while clear braces may be worn for up to 12-18 months. Invisalign® can also be an option for adults with mild to moderate crowding.

Crowded teeth can lead to gum disease and tooth decay because it is difficult to keep your teeth clean when they are crowded. In addition, crowding can cause bad bite problems including:

  • An open bite, where some of your teeth don’t touch when you bite down.

  • A deep bite, where your upper teeth overlap your lower teeth too much and can cause gum problems or tooth wear.

  • A crossbite, where your upper teeth bite inside your lower teeth.
