What Are Crowded Teeth?

Crowded or crooked teeth are the result of inadequate space in the jaw. This lack of space disrupts natural alignment and forces teeth to move out of place. Crowded teeth are typically caused by:

Jaw Size:

Crowding is primarily caused by a mismatch between the size of your teeth and your jaw. A smaller jaw may not provide enough room for all teeth to align correctly.

Genetics:

Inherited traits play a significant role in tooth alignment. If your parents had crowded teeth, there’s a higher chance that you may also develop the condition.

Early Tooth Loss:

Losing baby teeth prematurely can interfere with natural spacing, creating room for neighboring teeth to shift and overcrowd other teeth.

The complications associated with crowded teeth extend beyond aesthetics and cosmetic appearance. It can be difficult to maintain proper oral hygiene due to tight spaces between overcrowded teeth. This can cause a buildup of plaque and cause tooth decay and gum disease, in addition to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues and tooth damage resulting from uneven pressure on your teeth when you bite down.

Levels of Crowded Teeth

Mild:

Mild crowding looks like slight overlapping or rotation of a few teeth. There are typically little to no dental issues associated with minor crowding. However, early intervention is important to prevent further crowding and minimize the amount of treatment needed to restore teeth to their natural alignment.

Moderate:

Moderate crowding describes more noticeable misalignment that impacts multiple teeth. This level of crowding can also cause discomfort, make it difficult to properly clean your teeth, and create greater aesthetic concerns.

Severe:

When crowding becomes severe, several teeth will move significantly out of place, leading to potential complications for dental health and self-confidence. Treatment for severe crowding aims to restore both function and aesthetics.

Fixing Crowded Teeth

Our team specializes in creating treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and treatment goals. Your custom treatment plan may include:

Invisalign:

If you have mild to moderate crowding, Invisalign is a great option that gently guides teeth into proper alignment without the hassle and look of traditional metal braces. Invisalign clear aligners are typically less painful, straighten teeth more quickly, and offer a discreet alternative to braces so you can smile and talk with confidence.

Veneers:

For mild crowding, custom-designed shells called veneers are used to cover up crooked teeth to achieve the appearance of a perfectly aligned smile. However, veneers only conceal crowded teeth—they’re not designed to straighten out your smile or pull your teeth into a new position.

Expansion Therapy:

Vivos and Homeblock are non-surgical treatment options for adults suffering from crowded teeth.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Scottsdale Family Smiles is a dentist for the entire family. The staff was personable and friendly. I was seen on-time and the appointment was timely. Most impressively, the office is clean and filled with new devices that allow the dentist to provide the best dental care on site. 10/10

Joshua OffenhartzPatient

I've been going here for a little over a year and have had the best experiences. They are always on time with their appointments, barely making you wait longer than 5 minutes. They answer all my questions, ask specific details, and help resolve any issues you may be having. I went for a normal teeth cleaning and after additional visits and a year later, they were also able to help with my sleep apnea without having to do a CPAP. Very thankful as I have always had sleeping issues.

Jordan CrasePatient

Going to Scottsdale Family Smiles was such a breath of fresh air compared to other dental facilities that I have visited. Dr. Fattah showed he really cares and was very professional. He is very knowledgeable and cares so much not only about your dental health but your overall health as well. I would highly recommend going to Scottsdale Family smiles for your dental needs.
