Diagnosis and Evaluation of Crowded Teeth
Diagnosing crowded teeth involves several specialized procedures. First, a thorough physical examination is performed to evaluate the alignment and occlusion of the teeth. Dental x-rays are then taken to obtain detailed images of the tooth structure and jaw.
Additionally, study models are made from impressions of the teeth, which allows the dentist to analyze the arrangement of the teeth and plan the treatment. Based on the results of these examinations, the dentist will be able to evaluate the severity of the crowding and determine the most appropriate treatment approach for each patient.
