Teeth Crowding & Spacing Correction
When teeth are not properly aligned, it can cause various dental issues, from difficulty cleaning to discomfort. Dr. LoPresti specializes in correcting both crowded and spaced teeth to help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. Our tailored dental services ensure your teeth are aligned correctly, improving both function and appearance.
Teeth Crowding
Teeth crowding occurs when there isn’t enough space in your mouth for all your teeth to fit properly. This can cause your teeth to overlap, twist or become displaced. Common causes of crowding include losing baby teeth too early or late, and improper eruption of adult teeth. Crowded teeth can lead to oral hygiene challenges and increase the risk of cavities and gum disease. Our practice offers effective solutions such as braces, clear aligners and other orthodontic treatments to correct teeth crowding and enhance your dental health.
Teeth Spacing
Teeth spacing involves gaps between teeth. This can happen due to teeth being too small for the jawbone, missing teeth or irregular gum tissue. Excessive spacing can impact your bite and lead to food getting trapped, which may cause gum problems. Treatments like braces or aligners are commonly used to close these gaps and create a more uniform smile. At our practice, we provide exhaustive evaluations to determine the best course of action for correcting spacing issues.
If you or your child is dealing with teeth crowding or spacing, contact us to schedule a consultation. We are committed to finding the right solution for your dental needs.

What causes crowded teeth?
Crowded teeth can result from various factors, including genetic predisposition, early or late loss of baby teeth and habits like thumb sucking. Understanding the cause is crucial for effective treatment. Early orthodontic evaluation can help identify potential issues and create a plan to prevent or correct crowding before it worsens.

Can Invisalign® fix crowded teeth?
Yes, Invisalign® can be an excellent option for fixing crowded teeth. These clear aligners gradually move teeth into the correct position without the need for traditional metal braces, offering a discreet and comfortable treatment option. The aligners are removable, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene during treatment, and they are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly.
