Misaligned teeth can be unsightly and they can also cause other dental problems. In many cases the misalignment of teeth within the visible smile area can be corrected without the use of traditional metal braces. Sometimes, only minor movement is needed in order for a person to have a straight, beautiful smile. At Smile Avenue Family Dentistry, we offer some options for those who could benefit from minor adjustment in the alignment of their teeth.
Not everyone is born with a mouth that will provide a straight set of teeth, resulting in needing dental care services. There are physical factors as well as personal habits that can cause teeth to develop in a crooked fashion. Sometimes a person has less jaw space than necessary for the size teeth that are coming in. Occasionally a person may have more than one set of permanent teeth that can cause problems. Primary teeth may be slow in coming out causing the permanent teeth to come in crooked or out of place.
