Crooked Teeth
Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012
Crooked teeth can make your smile appear awkward and cause you to feel self-conscious. Crooked teeth and misaligned bites can also lead to problems such as:
- Difficulty chewing
- Overexertion of the jaw
- Uneven tooth wear
- Increased plaque accumulation
The benefits of correcting crooked teeth are aesthetic as well as functional. Whitehall, Pennsylvania, cosmetic dentist Dr. Michael Kun offers a number of treatment options for crooked teeth.
Depending on your individual condition, crooked teeth may be corrected with cosmetic dentistry treatments including:
All of these options can be used alone or in combination with other treatments to provide you with an even, natural-looking smile. In addition to enhancing the aesthetics of your smile, these treatments can also prevent future dental problems by protecting your teeth from further premature wear or by bringing your teeth into proper alignment.

Fixing Teeth Gaps
Thursday, February 16th, 2012
Gaps between your teeth can be both a functional and aesthetic issue.
Gapped teeth can allow food particles to become trapped in hard-to-reach spaces and accelerate the accumulation of plaque, which leads to tooth decay. Gapped teeth can also lead to premature wear on your teeth.
Fortunately, correcting gaps between your teeth can be accomplished with common cosmetic dentistry procedures. Whitehall, Pennsylvania, cosmetic dentist Dr. Michael Kun can evaluate the spaces between your teeth and develop a treatment plan to provide you with a seamless smile.
Three of the most common solutions for fixing teeth gaps are:
- Porcelain veneers – wafer thin shells placed over the front of your teeth
- Dental bonding – a composite resin applied to the front and sides of your teeth
- Invisalign® – clear plastic aligner trays that gently close your teeth over a period of several months
The solution most suited to meet your needs will depend on factors such as the extent of separation and any other cosmetic and functional issues you may be facing.
If you would like to learn more about treatment options for teeth gaps, please contact the office of cosmetic and neuromuscular dentist Dr. Michael E. Kun to schedule your consultation. We welcome patients from the Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton and Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, areas.
