Closing Gaps and Easing Crowds: How Clear Aligners Correct Teeth Crowding & Spacing
Crowded or gapped teeth are more than just a cosmetic concern. They can make brushing and flossing difficult, create uneven wear on teeth and even affect your confidence when you smile. At Missouri City Dentistry, we offer clear aligner treatment—including Invisalign®—to gently and effectively move teeth into healthier alignment, giving you a straighter smile that looks and feels great.
Why Crowding and Gaps Happen
Crowding occurs when teeth don’t have enough space to fit properly, often leading to overlap, twisting or misalignment. Spacing happens when there’s too much room between teeth, creating visible gaps. If left untreated, both conditions can increase your risk for plaque buildup, gum disease and bite issues.
Clear Aligners: A Modern Solution
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are virtually invisible, comfortable and removable. They apply gentle, consistent pressure to shift teeth into their proper positions over time. Each set of aligners is custom-made for your mouth, ensuring a snug and effective fit.
At Missouri City Dentistry, our team uses advanced digital imaging to design your aligners with precision. The clear trays are switched out every few weeks to keep your smile progressing toward its ideal alignment.
The Benefits Go Beyond Cosmetics
Correcting crowding and spacing isn’t just about appearance. A properly aligned smile helps you:
- Maintain Better Oral Hygiene – Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay and gum problems.
- Improve Comfort & Bite Function – Aligned teeth distribute chewing forces more evenly, reducing strain on your jaw.
- Boost Confidence – A straighter, healthier smile naturally makes you feel more comfortable and confident.
