Teeth Misalignment (Crooked Teeth)

The alignment of teeth is the position of the upper and lower teeth and how they align (bite) together. It can also be used to describe crowding of teeth when they overlap. Tooth alignment plays a key role in the effectiveness of your bite and the appearance of your smile. There is no such thing as the perfect bite. Misalignment should be determined by the degree to which the tooth misalignment impacts broader oral health and the ability to eat & speak. Tooth alignment also plays a key role in the overall appearance of your smile; however, this is more subjective with regards to whether treatment is required.
