There are several reasons why some people's teeth grow in crooked, overlapping, or twisted. Some people's mouths are too small for their teeth, which crowds the teeth and causes them to shift. In other cases, a person's upper and lower jaws aren't the same size or are malformed. Most often, crooked teeth are inherited traits just as the color of your eyes or hair. Other causes of crooked teeth are early loss of baby or adult teeth, undue pressure on the teeth and gums, misalignment of jaw after facial injury, or common oral health problems in children such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, or prolonged use of a bottle or pacifier.

Having crooked teeth isn’t just a cosmetic issue; it can lead to serious health problems as well. Crooked teeth can:

• interfere with proper chewing
• make keeping teeth clean more of a challenge, increasing the risk of tooth decay, cavities, and gingivitis
• strain the teeth, jaws, and muscles, increasing the risk of breaking a tooth

There are several orthodontic procedures that can help correct crooked teeth, and at Wilson Orthodontics we have many services that we can customize to meet your needs. We want you to be proud to show off your smile!

At Wilson Orthodontics we give our patients and future patients a reason to smile all year round.

We currently have an opportunity to win an iPad in our December drawing and we're giving away 4, lower level, 40 yard line tickets to a Falcons game with parking pass, a football and jersey signed by Matt Ryan.

We also have a quarterly drawing for our Referring Doctors staff and have given away a One hour message, a huge grocery themed gift basket with a voice recording grocery list machine, a wonderful Spa themed gift basket, and coming up a great GPS system. In December we surprise our Referring Doctors and their Staff with awesome gifts, this year will be extra special. We have a monthly mailer with Discount coupons for future patients.

We also do events throughout the year and several Fall Festivals at area schools. Where we have a booth we set up with a ton of information, great little give aways and special discounts to all who come by during the event. We always have an awesome turn out.
