Dental Symptom Checker
Crooked or Crowded Teeth
Teeth that overlap, are rotated, or don't align properly.
Common Causes
- Genetics (small jaw size)
- Early loss of baby teeth
- Thumb sucking in childhood
What to do immediately
Crowded teeth are hard to clean, leading to cavities and gum disease. Orthodontic treatment using traditional braces or invisible clear aligners can permanently fix this.
Urgency Level: Low - Book an orthodontic consultation.
If you are in severe pain or experiencing swelling, do not wait. Contact an emergency dentist immediately.
