How to Fix Crowding Teeth and Get a Smile You Love

Love Yourself, Love Your Smile

boys images
  • Dr. Monica Madan
  • October 21, 2022

Dental crowding is one of the most common problems facing orthodontic patients today. Naturally occurring in 30-60% of the global population, dental crowding is a type of malocclusion (i.e. smile misalignment) that develops when your mouth doesn’t provide enough room for permanent teeth to grow in a straight manner. Without sufficient space, the teeth begin to rotate and overlap one another. 

The causes of dental crowding are diverse and often include multiple factors, ranging from genetics to how a patient’s permanent teeth replaced their baby teeth. Dental crowding cases range in severity:

Mild

Only one anterior tooth (i.e. an incisor or canine tooth) is slightly rotated

Moderate

2-3 anterior teeth overlap one another

Severe

Most or all anterior teeth overlap one another

Although dental crowding is not considered a disease, severe crowding can compromise oral health and increase the likelihood of developing conditions like:

  • Chronic jaw pain/temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ)
  • Periodontal disease
  • Tooth decay

Beyond the physical health implications, crowding teeth can damage your self-confidence and keep you from laughing, smiling, and feeling comfortable in social situations.

If you want to know how to fix crowding teeth, Beverly Hills Orthodontics has the answers you’re looking for. 

How to Fix Crowding Teeth: Mild Cases

Invisalign is ideal for treating mild cases of dental crowding. This is particularly true if you seek the care of an orthodontist. 

Approved by the FDA in 1998, Invisalign allows orthodontists to use clear aligners to effectuate tooth movement and reorient your smile. Each aligner is designed to move your teeth little by little over the course of one to two weeks or so. As you progress through treatment, the alignment of your teeth will gradually improve. By the time you finish treatment, your teeth will be perfectly straight and free from crowding.

Benefits of Invisalign:

  • Uses transparent aligners that are barely noticeable to others
  • Won’t cause gum irritation or soreness
  • Doesn’t complicate oral care
  • Doesn’t require dietary restrictions

How to Fix Crowding Teeth: Moderate Cases

In the past, Invisalign was only able to correct minor alignment problems. But advances in alignment technology have expanded the possibilities of Invisalign treatment and opened up opportunities to treat moderate crowding. Today, orthodontists can combine Invisalign with other orthodontic strategies to address even complex alignment issues.

If Invisalign is not the right treatment for you, fixed braces are an effective treatment option to fix moderate crowding problems.

How to Fix Crowding Teeth: Severe Cases

Most cases can be treated with Invisalign. Depending on the case, an orthodontist may offer clear aligners as part of a more extensive treatment plan which may include braces and other appliances. We call this “hybrid-treatment” where we do the majority of treatment with Invisalign and use auxiliary appliances for very efficient, specific movements often in conjunction with clear aligners. 

Severe crowding issues are naturally complex to treat and require a heavily personalized approach. In many cases, an orthodontist can correct the alignment issues with fixed braces, although some cases will require additional methods. If you have severe crowding, a complimentary consultation with Beverly Hills Orthodontics will reveal which course of action will provide the best outcome.

No one has scheduled my appointment better than Anthony and Dr. Madden is the best doctor!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful recommendation, Lizzie! We're thrilled to be considered the best in the area. Your support means a lot to us!
Alessandra M.
Dr Monica and her staff are just the absolute best. Office is beautiful and clean. Staff is great and kind and have never had any issues whatsoever. The work that she and her staff members do is just 10/10. They are also so welcoming and genuinely kind. Dr Monica and even members of her staff like Anthony will have genuine conversations with you and make you feel the most comfortable. Even during a treatment that many (including myself) are not fond of. (Anything dental related can be scary but they truly put you at peace.) I’m so happy that I made the decision to proceed with treatment here. All questions are always answered. Concerns dealt with. And treatment is impeccable. The results I already have solidify why I’m so happy with my decision to get work done here.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Alessandra. We're thrilled to hear you had such a positive experience. Our team is dedicated to making every visit comfortable and welcoming. Your satisfaction is our priority!
nathalie K.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your glowing review, Nathalie! We’re thrilled to hear that you found our team friendly and accommodating. We look forward to welcoming you back at your next appointment!
T W.
I highly recommend Dr Madan at BHO for all of your orthodontic needs. Between her warm personality, knowledge and skill you will have to look no further.
This office constantly has amazing offers and specials that make their treatment pricing EXTREMELY competitive. Trust me, as I’ve gotten consults from just about every provider in town. I am seeing unbelievable results with my Invisalign treatment only a few weeks in. Dr Madan was the obvious choice, as she made this process as minimally invasive as possible. I have been to multiple of her offices and they all are pristine. I would recommend to anyone in the LA area looking for the best provider for their orthodontist!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted you're experiencing exceptional results with your Invisalign treatment. Dr. Madan strives to create a comfortable and effective orthodontic experience for every patient.
Eva P.
So far I am having an amazing experience with Dr Madan and BHO. I’ve consulted with many Orthos over the years for Invisalign. Almost all said I would have to extract a tooth to solve over crowding issue on bottom teeth. Within literally 5 weeks of Invisalign, my bottom teeth are almost completely straightened out already. I cannot believe how fast this treatment is working. Not to mention, I had tradition braces in the past and my teeth fully reverted to their original form. It took over 4 years to correct my crowding with braces the first time, back in the day.

How incredible Dr Madan and her staff is , along with her immaculate offices deserves its own second review. 10/10 experience so far highly recommend them!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Eva! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Madan and our team. It’s rewarding to see your progress with Invisalign. Your recommendation means a lot to us!
Anahit M.
I’ve had a good experience here. I have been coming here for about two years and I’ve seen great progress.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Anahit! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience and the progress you've made over the past two years. Your support means a lot to us!
