Correct Overlapping Teeth in San Francisco

overlapping teeth

San Francisco and Marin CA

Overcrowded teeth often make someone self-conscious about smiling, but it’s more than just an aesthetic issue. Teeth that are crowded and overlapping are difficult to keep clean. The inability to brush and floss effectively increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. At Glen Park Dental, we offer several treatment options for overlapping teeth, which our cosmetic dentist in San Francisco is listing below:

Dental bonding

For minor overlaps, dental bonding offers an affordable, non-invasive solution that can be completed in a single visit to our Bay Area office. Our Marin cosmetic dentist applies a tooth-colored composite resin to a tooth’s surface, expertly shaping it to create the appearance of a straighter tooth and smile.

Veneers

Veneers are wafer-thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that cover the front surfaces of teeth. While they’re often used to cover cosmetic imperfections and are sought after for complete smile makeovers, they can also correct moderate overlapping by improving any tooth’s shape and size. They can also be used to mask minor crookedness in teeth.

Clear aligners

Invisalign is an example of clear aligner therapy. It uses a series of clear, plastic aligner trays that fit over the teeth and gradually shift them into their proper place — usually in less time than it takes braces. Because of the nearly invisible aligners, Invisalign is a popular choice among adults and teens who need to straighten their teeth but don’t want to wear traditional metal braces.

Braces

Braces have been the tried-and-true way to straighten teeth for many years. Whether made of metal or the more discreet ceramic, this orthodontic treatment can correct moderate to severe overlapping of teeth using brackets, wires and gentle pressure to align the teeth over time.

Straighter smiles in the Bay Area

Choosing the right treatment for overlapping teeth depends on a variety of factors, including the severity of the overlap, your aesthetic goals and your lifestyle. It’s important to correct overlapping teeth to improve a smile and boost confidence, but it’s even more important to protect your oral health.
