Why Teeth Become Crooked
Teeth can become crooked for a variety of reasons. Genetic factors often play a role, with jaw size and tooth formation inherited from parents. Habits from childhood such as thumb-sucking, or the early loss of baby teeth, can also affect the alignment of teeth. Trauma and poor dental care can contribute to shifting teeth, emphasizing the need for regular dental checkups.
When it’s Time to See the Dentist
When teeth overlap, are too crowded, or have gaps, it can affect not only aesthetics but also oral health. Difficulty in cleaning, uneven wear, and strain on jaw muscles are just a few reasons to consider realignment. If you notice these signs or experience discomfort when chewing, it might be time to see a dentist.

The Treatment Process
We take 3D digital impressions of your teeth. These impressions are used to map out a precise treatment plan and create your custom aligners. Every two weeks, you'll progress to a new set, gently shifting your teeth into their ideal positions.
