A: Great question. The most common problem I encounter and treat is crowded, crooked teeth.
Crowding [see image, right] results when the jaw bone is not large enough to accommodate all of the teeth in their natural, straight positions. As a result, teeth grow in twisted, sideways, angled, tipped, and sometimes do not grow in at all. Crowding can occur at any age, and the solutions are the same -- regardless of the patient's age.
The treatment concept is simple: find a way to make more room for the crowded teeth. Sometimes, I can expand the jaws to make the amount of available space increase. Other times, teeth need to be removed to make more space.
I decide on the proper treatment by analyzing the patient’s facial proportions, facial profile, lip posture, angle of the front teeth and interdigitation, or interlocking, of the back teeth. There is always a solution to provide a beautiful and healthy end result.
Keep smiling, and see you soon.
