What Are Crowded teeth?
When the jaw doesn't have enough space for your teeth, they can begin to overlap, causing mild to severe alignment issues.
While most people associate crowded teeth with aesthetic issues, it's also important to remember that they can also lead to oral health complications.
What Are The Symptoms Of Crowded teeth?
There are numerous symptoms associated with crowding, including:
| Symptom | Description |
|---|---|
| Aesthetic Issues | Minor dental crowding can cause some noticeable effects, while severe teeth crowding might be more visible. |
| Hygiene Difficulties | When the teeth overlap, it can be harder to brush them properly and floss, resulting in poor oral hygiene. |
| Poor Self-Esteem | Straight teeth are often associated with beauty, and crowding issues can lower a person's self-esteem. |
| Bite Problems | If you experience bite issues along with dental crowding, it can limit the foods you're able to eat. |

- InvisalignThere are two main treatments for dental crowding, with each offering benefits.
Your dentist will recommend which is best by assessing the severity of your condition.
- Fixed braces: Fixed braces are a popular orthodontic treatment as they work quickly and provide optimal results. The main disadvantage of fixed braces is that many adults don't like wearing them. If your crowding issue is severe, we'll usually recommend braces.
- Aligners: Aligners are transparent, making them ideal for adults. While aligners can work for serious crowding problems, we generally recommend fixed braces.
Invisible aligners (Invisalign) are ideal for correcting mild to moderate crowding.

What Causes Crowded Teeth?
There are many potential causes of crowded teeth. Let's take a look at the most common risk factors:
| Risk Factors | Description |
|---|---|
| Developmental Reasons | If someone loses their baby teeth prematurely, other teeth can move into the space, causing crowding. Thumb sucking and overusing pacifiers can also be contributors. |
| Genetics | If the teeth are too large for the jaw, or your jaw is naturally small, the teeth might not align correctly. |
| Extractions | Children with teeth extracted when they were younger could experience crowding when their permanent teeth come through. |
