What causes overlapping teeth?
Overlapping teeth can occur due to a lack of room or as a result of facial changes as we age. Many people have overlapping front teeth, which can range from mild overlapping to severe crowding. When the teeth become misaligned, this can cause changes to neighbouring teeth too. Most of the time, there is no reason to be concerned. However, Dr Joe Oliver understands how impactful this can be on self-esteem.
In some cases, overlapping front teeth can cause discomfort and pain, and is therefore best treated before the condition worsens. Pain can occur from within the teeth, gums or jaw, and may put oral hygiene into question.

How do you fix overlapping teeth?
There are various solutions to straighten overlapping teeth, and with a quick consultation, Dr Joe Oliver can find you the best treatment for dental crowding.
Most overlapping front teeth can corrected into a straighter smile via the following methods:
- Traditional metal braces or invisible braces such as invisalign aligners, to realign the teet in cases where there is minor crowding.
- Through cosmetic contouring which works to alter the shape and size of the tooth by removing part of the tooth enamel.
- Using composite veneers or teeth bonding to improve the appearance of crooked teeth, by bonding composite resin to the front of the tooth.
- Porcelain veneers are one popular solution for fixing overcrowded teeth while providing the iconic Hollywood smile.
- Crowns can be an effective restorative treatment for cracked, decayed or discoloured teeth while also helping teeth appear straighter and more aligned.
- If there are extra teeth which cause oral health complications or pain, it may be necessary to extract teeth in moderate and severe cases of overlapping. Extraction is carried out with great care and precision to make more room in the mouth.
