What crowding means

Crowding happens when teeth do not have enough room to align comfortably. It can affect cleaning, the appearance of your smile, and in some cases your bite.

How aligners create space

Clear aligners move teeth gradually according to a digital treatment plan. Depending on your needs, your dentist may recommend small attachments, enamel contouring, or other techniques to create the right amount of space.

A consultation gives the clearest answer

Some complex crowding or bite concerns may be better treated with braces or a specialist referral. An exam and digital planning help determine the safest, most predictable approach.
