A healthy smile is not only a reflection of good oral health, but good overall health as well. Oftentimes, people who have crooked or misaligned teeth experience embarrassment or a lack of confidence in their everyday life. In addition, there are a number of health related issues that stem from crooked teeth. If you have crooked teeth and are seeking treatment, we offer a wide range of treatment methods that can fix your smile for good.

Having crooked teeth is more common than not, so you should never feel isolated if your own teeth fall short of perfection. The good thing is that this can be fixed, and it is important that you seek treatment to avoid further complications in the long run. To schedule a consultation with an orthodontist, feel free to contact us today. We specialize in effective treatments for crooked teeth that will result in a healthy and stunning smile. Call today!

Common Causes of Crooked Teeth

There are several contributing factors that may cause crooked teeth, including but not limited to:

• Genetics (the size of your mouth, misaligned jaws, etc.)
• Extended use of a pacifier or bottle
• Thumb sucking
• Tongue thrusting (pushing the tongue forward against the front teeth when swallowing)
• Facial trauma
• Premature loss of baby teeth due to decay, trauma, or another factor

Even though baby teeth aren’t permanent, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take care of your child’s baby teeth. In fact, taking good care of baby teeth is also critical to having healthy permanent teeth free of discoloration or decay. Therefore, if you can potentially prevent an issue from arising, then why not try your best to avoid it? As mentioned above, extended use of a pacifier, bottle, or thumb sucking should be avoided, as it can certainly result in crooked permanent teeth in the long run.

Treatment Methods for Crooked Teeth

It is recommended for children as young as 7 years old to see an orthodontist. However, if your child is older than that or if you (as an adult) are just now seeking treatment for crooked teeth, then don’t worry! Better late than never. Seeking treatment for crooked teeth is very important. At Rawle Orthodontics, we specialize in a wide range of treatments for crooked teeth, such as:

• Traditional metal braces
• Partial braces
• Mini braces
• Self-ligating braces
• Ceramic braces
• Invisalign

Each of these treatment methods are highly effective, and are selected based on a number of factors. Braces are no longer a one-size-fits-all solution and are more comfortable than ever. Because there are a wide range of options, choosing the ideal solution for you depends on the severity of your crooked teeth, price point, preference, appearance, maintenance level, and more.
