Crowded Teeth treatment in Cajeme

Crowded teeth are an alignment problem in which the teeth pile up or overlap one another due to lack of space in the dental arch. It is one of the most common malocclusions and may be noticeable from childhood or become more pronounced over time.

Common causes: it is usually due to a mismatch between the size of the teeth and that of the jaw, hereditary factors, or the early loss of baby teeth.

Why it is worth addressing: beyond appearance, crowding makes cleaning harder and encourages plaque buildup, cavities, and gum inflammation.

Who evaluates it? The orthodontist is the professional who assesses tooth position and the options to correct it; the dentist and the maxillofacial surgeon may also take part depending on the case. If you notice that your teeth are overlapping or crowded together, an evaluation visit will help you learn about the available alternatives.
