So, your lower teeth aren’t as straight as they used to be. You’re brushing and flossing regularly, but the crowding or overlap seems more obvious now than it did a few years ago. Sound familiar?
You’re not imagining it - lower teeth tend to shift more noticeably with age, and it’s one of the most common concerns people have when it comes to their smile. The good news? There’s a clear way forward.
Unlike your upper teeth, the lower front teeth sit in a narrower, more confined part of your jaw. That space gets tighter as you age, especially if your wisdom teeth came in late or your bite has shifted over time. Things like teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or even sleeping on one side every night can slowly push your lower teeth out of line.
That crowding isn’t just cosmetic. Overlapping bottom teeth can make it harder to floss properly, trap food more easily, and even wear down unevenly from regular chewing. Left alone, that misalignment can cause bite problems down the line.
Short answer? Sort of. Longer answer? It depends on how everything fits together.
While the most visible issue may be your lower teeth, they don’t exist in isolation. Your bite is a team effort between your top and bottom arches. That’s why most clear aligner treatments, including Zenyum’s, are designed to treat both sets of teeth - even if your upper teeth look perfectly fine.
Think of it like adjusting one shoe in a pair. It might look better, but if it changes the way you walk, it won’t be long before discomfort kicks in. The same goes for your teeth. Fixing only one arch can throw off the balance of your bite, and the results may not last.
Zenyum Clear Aligners are designed to treat nearly all levels of case complexity - including lower teeth crowding, just like what you might be noticing now. But instead of only focusing on the bottom teeth, they provide a full-arch treatment plan. That means both your top and bottom teeth are adjusted gently and gradually, ensuring your bite stays aligned and your smile looks natural from every angle.
You’ll still be addressing your main concern (straighter bottom teeth), but with added long-term stability and comfort.
The process is straightforward:
So, even though you might be focused on your bottom teeth, you’ll get a full-arch treatment that’s designed for balance and a healthier smile overall.
We get it - you want a subtle, simple fix. But the truth is, orthodontic treatment works best when it’s balanced. Straightening only your lower teeth may seem quicker, but it often comes with trade-offs: uneven pressure on your bite, shifting of the untreated arch, or results that don’t hold up over time.
Zenyum aligners take a whole-smile approach, even if just a small part of your smile is bugging you. That means more stability, better comfort, and a solution that actually works long-term.
