At Pearl Shine Dental, we can solve the challenge you are having with overcrowding using several methods. The most common orthodontic option is wearing an expander. This can be done when straightening teeth with braces or Invisalign. An expander pushes the arch outward so that there is naturally more room for your teeth. This is the least invasive method and often preferred by our 77070 patients. The other option is to remove one or several teeth prior to straightening them or to shave off small portions of the enamel to make enough room. When you visit our Houston, TX dentist office, Dr. Charolia can explain all of these options in detail so that you can make an educated decision regarding which solution is right for you.
