Crowded Teeth

Crowded teeth are caused when there is not enough space in the mouth for teeth to grow straight and with proper spacing. This can lead to crookedness of the teeth, rotation or even teeth that overlap, and may make you self-conscious about the appearance of your smile.

Crowded teeth are usually harmless, although some people may find it harder to brush and floss their teeth properly as a result, which may cause tooth decay or gum disease.

About this Condition

If you have crowded teeth that you do not wish to straighten, you may want to book regular deep cleanings with our practice. However, many patients wish for a straighter and more even smile to boost their confidence and improve their personal appearance. We have a bespoke range of treatments to close the gaps in teeth, which are tailored to meet your needs and expectations. Our treatment solutions can be as discreet as possible, and you may have the choice of a fixed or removable option. In severe cases of overcrowding, you may wish for an extraction before straightening procedures in order to maximise the effects.

Our treatments will always follow a comprehensive consultation with one of our highly trained and experienced clinicians. Treatments include:
