tooth alignment

Straightening crooked teeth

Tooth alignment refers to how teeth are positioned relative to each other and the jaw.

Proper alignment means teeth meet correctly when biting and form an even row.

Orthodontic treatment—braces, retainers, clear aligners—corrects misalignment: Her tooth alignment improved dramatically after two years of braces.

Poor tooth alignment can cause difficulty chewing, jaw pain, or speech issues.
