Frequently asked questions
What causes crowded teeth?
Crowded teeth are caused due to a few reasons such as a smaller jaw, cleft lip or palate, misaligned jaw, poor dental care, age causing the jaw to shrink, tongue thrusting or reverse swallowing to name a few natural reasons. Dental or facial injury or trauma can also cause teeth to crowd.
Is it possible to correct crowded teeth?
Yes, it is possible to correct crowded teeth by straightening your teeth and gently shifting them back into their proper place through orthodontic treatment. This will help reduce the stress on your teeth as crowded teeth affect your teeth bite which places stress on your teeth and jaws.
What are the treatments available to correct crowded teeth?
Effective dental treatments for crowded teeth include permanent or removable braces, tooth-coloured composite bonding and extraction or tooth removal.
Can adults undergo treatment for crowded teeth?
Yes, adults can undergo treatment for crowded teeth and it is recommended that you do as crowded teeth can severely affect your oral hygiene because it makes it harder to keep your teeth clean. This can lead to germ and plaque build up that in turn can lead to dental issues such as gum disease and tooth decay.
How long does the treatment take?
The duration will vary depending on the severity of your crowding and the cosmetic dentistry that you have done to treat the crowding.
Do you need braces to correct crowded teeth?
Yes, braces are an effective and easy way to correct crowded teeth. They help to gently coax your teeth back into their natural positions
What are the different braces options available?
Depending on whether your case is mild or severe the most common braces used to correct teeth overcrowding are Invisalign aligners or fixed metal braces.
Are there treatment options for severe cases?
Fixed metal braces are the preferred choice by a dental practice to correct severe dental crowding. However, if there are too many teeth then it may be recommended that a few be extracted to create more space for your other teeth. You may also require dental implants.
Are the treatments painful or invasive?
This will depend on your treatment plan which will determine if you are going with composite bonding, aligners, permanent braces and/or extraction. However, you will in most cases only feel mild discomfort till you get used to the sensation of braces.
Do crowded teeth involve surgical procedures?
In severe cases, you may need tooth extractions and tooth implants to correct this dental issue.
What happens if crowded teeth are not corrected?
If not corrected it can lead to a host of oral issues such as causing discomfort owing to bite issues that lead to joint pains, the teeth are much harder to clean as they tend to overlap which leads to gum disease and tooth decay. It can also change the overall appearance of your face.
What happens if crowded teeth are left untreated?
If left untreated your teeth will continue to shift as the teeth have a natural inclination to move towards the centre of the dental arch. It causes your teeth crowding to shift from mild to moderate to even severe over time, especially with the lower front teeth.
How long do the results of the treatments last?
Duration of results depends on each individual but with proper dental care, you should be able to enjoy the results and experience the joy of better oral health as your teeth are easier to clean and maintain. You will also enjoy having straighter teeth that align better and are less painful in the long run.
Will you be required to wear retainers after treatment?
Yes, you will have to wear retainers to ensure that your teeth do not move from their new proper positions. The duration for which you will be required to wear retainers will be determined by your orthodontist.
How much do crowded teeth treatments cost?
The cost will vary depending on the treatment option and the complexity of the treatment. A rough estimate would range from £1,500 to £5,000 for metal braces. Children up to age 18 can get braces for free with the NHS if deemed medically necessary. Consult with your orthodontist for an initial estimate and regarding any payment plans they may have in place.
