How Alignment Affects Oral Health

Understanding Misaligned Teeth

At Eddie Kao DDS, we understand that misaligned teeth affect more than just appearance. Crooked, crowded, or unevenly spaced teeth can make cleaning difficult, increasing the risk of decay, gum disease, and jaw discomfort. Proper alignment not only enhances your smile but also supports better oral health and overall comfort.


Common causes of misalignment include:


  • Genetics or natural jaw development
  • Thumb sucking or early tooth loss in childhood
  • Injury or uneven tooth eruption
  • Habits such as teeth grinding or mouth breathing

Treatment Options for Better Alignment

We provide customized orthodontic care designed to gently move teeth into healthier positions and improve function. Depending on your needs, treatment may include SureSmile Aligners or retainers to gradually straighten your teeth and enhance bite balance. Straightening your teeth can:


  • Improve chewing and speech function
  • Reduce wear on teeth and jaw joints
  • Enhance confidence with a more harmonious smile
  • Support easier cleaning and long-term gum health


Our team will evaluate your needs and create a personalized plan to help you achieve a balanced, confident smile comfortably and effectively.
