Minor tooth movement combined with other cosmetic dental procedures can make a dramatic
difference in the overall look of your smile.
Minor tooth movement is a limited orthodontic procedure to correct crooked, poorly positioned or misaligned
teeth. Relatively simple movements of one or more teeth can result in a significant cosmetic transformation, since
it only takes a few crooked teeth or a noticeable space to spoil the look of what would otherwise be an attractive
smile.
Minor tooth movement takes months, not years, as the problematic teeth usually do not need to be moved more than a millimeter or
two. In general, it is performed in adult mouths and involves only the front teeth. Correct alignment of the front teeth also prevents
them from overlapping further and insures against future drifting, which can cause all of the teeth to shift.
