Crowded Crooked Teeth
Crowded Crooked Teeth
Crowded teeth impact more than the way you look. They can cause you to bite the delicate soft tissues of your cheeks or tongue, cause discomfort when chewing, lead to headaches, cause speech problems and may also cause you to breath through your mouth rather than your nose (which can lead to a higher risk of tooth decay and bad breath).

Snaggle Tooth
When the adult tooth is trying to come through, but there isn’t enough room, it can often poke out of the top of the gum. The lack of room could have been caused by the failure of baby teeth falling out or simply because the width of the upper jaw is too small. A snaggle tooth is a common problem that can be fixed with braces or clear aligners but the treatment process can be different depending on your age (specifically whether your jaws have finished growing).
