Teeth Crowding: Meaning, Symptoms and Treatment

It is usual to have misaligned teeth, so you need not feel unpleasant if you have them. There are only a few people who have straight and perfect teeth naturally. But, if that’s the reality, what do others do? They get their teeth straightening treatment done! With perfectly aligned teeth, you tend to feel more confident and smile more often.

Let’s talk about one of the most common teeth alignment problems - teeth crowding. It happens when there is a discrepancy between your jaw size and tooth size, resulting in misalignment of the tooth row. With this misalignment problem, permanent and new teeth might not have proper space to grow straight, resulting in crooked or overlapping teeth.

Crowded teeth problems can range from being mild to severe. In mild teeth crowding, one tooth in the lower or upper jaw gets slightly crooked, whereas, in severe tooth crowding, most anterior teeth overlap. It is important to get teeth crowding fixed to create a perfect smile and maintain oral hygiene; otherwise, a few hidden spots in your mouth might stay uncleaned and this can give rise to bacterial growth.

A few causes of teeth crowding can be abnormal tooth growth, extra adult teeth, unusually large teeth, dental trauma, family history of overcrowding, or hyperdontia (presence of extra teeth). Though it might not be possible for you to prevent such teeth alignment problems., you can surely get them treated at the initial stage to prevent further complications.

Therefore, if you observe any symptoms of teeth crowding, it is advisable to consult an orthodontist at the earliest. To help you with the common symptoms, we’ve mentioned most of them below:
