Crowding Treatment
Crowding Treatment
Crowding happens when there is not enough room in the jaw for all the teeth to line up. Teeth may overlap, twist or sit out of line, which can make them harder to clean.
Ways to Create Room
- Braces or Aligners — gradually move teeth into straighter positions.
- Palatal Expansion — widens the upper jaw in growing patients.
- Careful Space Planning — small adjustments between teeth or, in some cases, extractions.
Why Treat Crowding
Straighter teeth are easier to brush and floss, which helps protect your gums. We will explain which approach suits your mouth at a consultation.
