Misaligned Teeth
The professional who usually guides this case is the orthodontist: misaligned teeth, or malocclusion, occur when the teeth do not fit together correctly or do not close properly. It is a common condition that can affect both the function and the appearance of the smile.
How it presents: you may notice crowding, gaps between the teeth, difficulty biting or chewing and, in some cases, jaw discomfort.
When to seek care? An evaluation is advisable if you notice that the teeth are overlapping or spaced apart, or if there are problems biting; an early check-up in children is also useful.
Which specialist treats them? The orthodontist is the professional specialized in correcting tooth position, with support from the general dentist in the initial evaluation. Scheduling a consultation lets you learn about the most suitable options for your case.
