Crooked Teeth

    PHILADELPHIA, PA, April 24, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Millions of Americans suffer from common cosmetic dental problems such as malocclusion. For some, crooked teeth are neither a functional nor aesthetic issue and may even add character to their smiles. For many others however, crooked teeth present a number of physical and cosmetic problems, demanding treatment that restores both appearance and strength.

Solutions for Crooked Teeth

One of the most common solutions for correcting crooked teeth is orthodontics. While the word alone can conjure images of awkward and obtrusive wire and bracket braces, it is good to remember that modern orthodontic solutions such as Invisalign can just as easily straighten teeth for adults and older teens. In fact, Invisalign and similar options are often faster than traditional orthodontic solutions for adults, and the increased aesthetics, comfort, and continence offered by removable aligners makes them the ideal choice for even more pronounced levels of malocclusion.

If your teeth are crooked, but not so crooked as to demand an orthodontic solution, something like porcelain veneers may be best. Porcelain veneers are one of the most common cosmetic dentistry procedures performed in the United States. Also known as "instant orthodontics," veneers are placed over the front of your teeth to address crooked teeth along with issues such as chips and cracks, gaps, irregular shapes and sizes, and severe discoloration.

Other cosmetic dentistry solutions that may be available to address crooked teeth include:
- Dental crowns
- Dental bonding
- Lumineers

The solution that is best for your smile should be determined by an experienced cosmetic dentist in your area.

The Beautiful Smile Your Deserve

You deserve to have a smile that is both strong and attractive. You should feel proud of your smile and want to show it to the world. If you are unhappy with your smile, talking to a cosmetic dentist is the first step in addressing aesthetic and functional issues, and achieving the smile of your dreams.
