Crooked teeth are more than a cosmetic concern. Crowded teeth are harder to clean around, and a bite that does not meet evenly can wear some teeth faster than others over time. The right fix depends on the cause and how far the teeth need to move, which is why the first step is an exam of your teeth and bite rather than a choice of product.
Orthodontic treatment actually moves the teeth: traditional braces for complex alignment problems, or clear aligners, like Invisalign, for many teens and adults. For a slightly misaligned tooth, custom veneers can change how it looks without moving it, though they do not correct the bite. The practice offers all three, so the recommendation can match what you want to change. The free clear aligners consultation is an easy place to start.
- Braces for more involved alignment
- Clear aligners for many teens and adults
- Veneers for slight misalignment
- An exam first, then a plan

I went from a phone call to the dental chair in two days for an emergency root canal. The doctor took excellent care of me, and four days later I felt back in control of my life. Thank you to the whole team.

It depends on your teeth. Veneers change how a slightly misaligned tooth looks; braces and aligners actually move teeth, which takes longer. Your dentist will explain the trade-offs.
Veneers can correct the look of slightly misaligned teeth, along with chips, stains and gaps. They do not move teeth or correct a bite.
Not always. Orthodontic treatment can close gaps, and veneers can also correct them. The right choice depends on the rest of your bite.
