<p>When you don't have enough room in your jaw for your teeth to fit normally, your teeth can bunch up, overlap and twist, sometimes getting pushed to the front or the back.</p>


What are crowded teeth?

<p>Crowded teeth can make it hard to brush and floss well. Then it&rsquo;s easier for plaque, tartar, and harmful bacterial to build up &mdash; and down the line, this can lead to tooth decay and gum disease<sup>1,2</sup>. Your crowded teeth can also get worse over time.</p>


What kinds of problems can crowded teeth cause?

<p>Yes, Invisalign clear aligners can fix crowded teeth. We can help you&nbsp;find an experienced Invisalign doctor&nbsp;who can show you what Invisalign treatment can do for you.</p>

Crowded teeth occur when you don’t have enough room for your teeth to fit properly, so your teeth can bunch up, overlap and twist. This can make it hard to brush and floss well, then it’s easier for plaque, tartar, and harmful bacterial to build up.
