Crowding is the number one reason people walk into an orthodontic office. It happens when there is not enough space in the jaw for all your teeth to fit properly. Teeth overlap, rotate, and get pushed forward or backward trying to find room. Beyond the aesthetics, crowded teeth are genuinely harder to brush and floss effectively. That means more plaque buildup in the tight spots, a higher risk of cavities, and a greater chance of gum disease over time. Straightening crowded teeth is not just about looking good. It is about being able to actually clean them.
