When orthodontic treatment might be needed

Crooked, crowded and overlapping teeth can cause a range of problems, including:

Tooth decay and gum disease – teeth which are very close together can be harder to clean properly. A build-up of plaque can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.

Injury to the gum – if a tooth doesn’t meet with its partner on the opposite jaw properly, it may dig into the gum and cause damage.

Wear and tear – if teeth don’t sit properly the action of chewing can wear them unevenly.

Self-confidence – teeth problems can make people feel embarrassed and they may not feel comfortable to smile.

During your initial consultation we can talk you through the various options available and recommend and discuss which treatment is best suited to your concerns, lifestyle and budget.
