Did you know that crooked teeth could increase your risk of developing gum disease?

And not just gum disease, crooked teeth are often a factor in a whole range of secondary dental health concerns. From TMJ to speech development delays, crooked teeth can affect all aspects of oral health.

Many patients view crooked teeth as a cosmetic concern, but in fact, crooked teeth may lead to a whole range of oral health concerns and are best treated when addressed early on in oral development. Crooked teeth can impact the way you live your life- do not let crooked teeth keep you from smiling brightly. Villanova Dental Studio offers orthodontic solutions for straightening crooked teeth for improved oral health.

Crooked Teeth & Complex Oral Health Concerns

Gum Disease- Crooked teeth make it difficult to accurately and thoroughly clean the teeth and gums. Patients with crooked teeth often experience higher rates of gum disease due to poor oral hygiene.

Overcrowding- Overcrowding is common in patients with crooked teeth. Crooked teeth make it difficult for emerging teeth to develop correctly and can lead to further misalignment, and painful TMJ symptoms.

Malocclusion-  Crooked teeth may force the jaw into misalignment making it challenging to eat, or speak properly. Children with malocclusion due to crooked teeth may benefit from phase 1 treatment that will address the functional aspects of their crooked teeth early on preventing future overcrowding or speech delays.

Aesthetics- A beautiful, confident smile can help you and your children live a more fulfilling life. Corrective crooked teeth improve a patients self-confidence, creating a beautiful straight smile you feel proud to share.
