Shifting Teeth

Stop Unwanted Tooth Movement & Restore Alignment

Have you noticed your teeth moving out of place over time? Shifting teeth can occur due to various reasons, including aging, gum grafting, tooth loss, or past orthodontic treatments without retainers. If left untreated, shifting teeth can lead to bite problems, difficulty chewing, and changes in facial structure. At Van Orman Dental, we provide customized solutions to stop tooth movement and restore a straight, healthy smile.

Why Do Teeth Shift?

  • Aging & Natural Changes – Teeth naturally shift as we age due to bone remodeling.
  • Missing Teeth – When a tooth is lost, nearby teeth shift to fill the space.
  • Gum Disease (Periodontitis) – Weakens the bone and gums, causing teeth to move.
  • Bruxism (Teeth Grinding) – Excessive pressure leads to shifting and misalignment.
  • Wisdom Teeth Pressure – Impacted wisdom teeth can push other teeth forward.
  • Not Wearing a Retainer After Braces/Invisalign – Teeth may gradually return to their original positions.

Problems Caused by Shifting Teeth

  • Crowding & Overlapping – Makes cleaning harder, increasing cavity and gum disease risk.
  • Bite Problems & Jaw Pain – Misalignment may cause TMJ disorders or difficulty chewing.
  • Gaps & Spacing Issues – Can affect speech, chewing, and smile appearance.
  • Increased Tooth Wear – Uneven alignment can cause premature enamel erosion.

How to Stop & Correct Shifting Teeth

At Van Orman Dental, we offer preventive and corrective treatments to stop tooth movement and realign your smile.

Retainers (For Post-Orthodontic Movement) – Worn at night to prevent teeth from shifting after braces or Invisalign. Helps maintain alignment long-term.

Invisalign (For Mild to Moderate Shifting) – Clear, removable aligners to gently move teeth back into place. Comfortable and virtually invisible treatment.

Traditional Braces (For Severe Misalignment): – Best for significant tooth movement or bite issues. Provides stable, long-lasting results.

Dental Bonding or Veneers (For Minor Corrections): – Quick cosmetic enhancement for small shifts. Porcelain veneers or composite bonding to reshape teeth.

  • Personalized Treatment Plan – Based on the cause of shifting, we recommend the best solution.
  • Precise & Comfortable Care – Our gentle treatments restore proper alignment.
