Personalized solutions for crooked teeth

Crooked teeth can affect more than your appearance, they can impact your oral health and your confidence. Misalignment can develop from genetics, childhood habits like thumb-sucking, or early tooth loss. But no matter the cause, there’s a solution that can help you feel great about your smile.

At Summit Dental and Orthodontics, we do all of our orthodontic aligner treatment in-house, which means Dr. Harris personally oversees the movement of your teeth throughout the entire process. You’re never handed off or referred out, the same team that planned your treatment is with you every step of the way.

Why addressing crooked teeth matters

Crooked teeth aren’t just a cosmetic concern; they can affect your overall oral health. Misaligned teeth are harder to clean properly, which increases the risk of cavities and gum disease. They can also contribute to jaw discomfort and uneven wear over time.

  • Oral health impact: Harder to clean, higher risk of cavities and gum disease
  • Comfort concerns: Jaw pain, headaches, and uneven wear on teeth
  • Confidence boost: Straighter teeth make a real difference in how you feel day to day
