Hello.. Welcome to practo..
Crowding of teeth can be treated orthodontically with braces and retainers..
Do scaling before orthodontic treatment..
The time varies from 1 - 1 1/2 years for completion of orthodontic treatment..

Yes, you can opt for orthodontic treatment to align teeth. And once tooth are align , chances of deposits are less. Scaling will be done to clean this.
Consult with doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

Hello. The malalignment of the teeth can be corrected by an orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment includes metal/ceramic braces or invisible braces/aligners. An orthodontic treatment will correct the crowding of teeth, and also retrocline/procline your teeth as required.
Kindly visit an Orthodontist
The plaque and calculus deposited on your teeth are mainly due to inadequate brushing due to the crowding of teeth.
Calculus or tartar is a form of hardened dental plaque. It is caused by precipitation of minerals from saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in plaque on the teeth. Kindly visit a periodontist for your teeth scaling. Scaling is a painless teeth cleaning procedure, where in the calculus and stains are removed, which will further improve the overall health of your oral cavity, make the gums strong and firm.
