Crowded teeth: causes and orthodontic treatment in Dubai
Why teeth crowd, the problems it causes, and treatment with aligners, braces or expansion at Manhal Medical Center, Dubai.
Crowding happens when there is not enough space in the jaw for the teeth to align. It is one of the most common reasons people seek orthodontic treatment.
Crowding is corrected by creating space — through expansion, careful enamel reduction or, sometimes, extractions — then aligning with braces or aligners.
Signs and symptoms
- Overlapping or rotated teeth
- Difficulty cleaning between teeth
- Uneven wear
Common causes
