A concern we treat
Crooked or crowded teeth
When teeth overlap or twist, the fix that lasts is usually to move them — not to mask them.
In short
Crowding happens when there is not quite enough room in the arch, so teeth rotate and overlap. It affects how a smile looks, but also how easy the teeth are to clean, which matters for the long term.
The most conservative route is almost always to straighten the teeth you already have with clear aligners, rather than cut them down for veneers. Where you also want to change colour or shape, a short course of aligners followed by whitening and a little bonding often gives a better, longer-lasting result than veneers alone.
