Treat Crooked Teeth in Jacksonville, FL

Prevent an uneven bite, tooth decay, or gum disease with our treatments for crooked teeth. We can address single or multiple misaligned teeth that create an uneven bite. Additionally, if you do not have simply cosmetic problems with your crooked teeth, we can help. Below, you can learn more about the most common treatments for misaligned or crooked teeth:

Invisalign

Clear Invisalign aligners are a modern method of orthodontic treatment. Compared to traditional metal braces, Invisalign is more comfortable and discreet. During treatment, the Invisalign aligners gradually realign the smile. The Invisalign aligners are also removable, so patients can brush their teeth and eat without restrictions. We recommend Invisalign for patients who have moderately crooked or misaligned teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

Dental veneers are ultra-thin shells of porcelain ceramic that cover the front of the tooth enamel. We utilize veneers to treat patients who have single crooked teeth or even full arches of crooked teeth. Veneers are a great way to cosmetically enhance the appearance of the smile. We use bonding material to attach the dental veneers to prepared teeth and then use a curing light to keep them in place. Dental veneers are one of the longest-lasting cosmetic options for patines with misaligned teeth.

Dental Crowns

Tooth crowns are caps that can fully cover single teeth. Dental crowns provide support to worn and weakened teeth. They can also create a more even smile for patients with misaligned teeth. Our dental crowns are made of porcelain ceramic which reflects light naturally. The tooth crowns also match the shade and shape of natural teeth to blend in with the appearance of the natural smile.

Tooth Bonding

Dental bonding uses biocompatible materials that we mold and sculpt onto prepared teeth. We color-match the biocompatible resin to the color of natural teeth. Tooth bonding is also a more economical alternative to dental veneers. We often recommend dental bonding for patients who have one or multiple crooked teeth. Dental bonding is best suited for chips, cracks, discoloration, and crooked teeth.
