Frequently the teeth are too large for the existing jaw size. This results in crowding which causes the teeth to erupt in very awkward locations. Depending on the severity of the problem, we can often use expanders and braces to increase the jaw size in order to fit in all the teeth. In younger children this is used to make space for the teeth to erupt in the proper position so that they don’t need to straightened later in life.
