Crooked Teeth and Crowding

Many people have crooked teeth, at Miami Dental, we want you to understand how crooked teeth causes crowding and how you can fix crowding of your teeth. As your permanent teeth begin to develop, they can start to become crooked and overlap.


When there isn’t enough room in your mouth to fit, crowding can occur and lead to shifting. In some cases, overbites can form when your upper and lower jaws aren’t the same size, which extends your bottom teeth and jaw outward.


If you have difficulty chewing while eating, you may need a tooth extraction or braces. Crooked teeth can make it difficult to clean your teeth that can lead to cavities and gum disease. For most of our patients, braces are required to fix crowding and crooked teeth.


We encourage our patients with crooked teeth to get braces at a younger age when their mouth is still developing. Tis makes it easier for your teeth to grow in straight and naturally as your mouth is still expanding.
