Causes of Mis Aligned Teeth

 



We know everyone wants a naturally-aligned and beautiful smile and it’s no secret that orthodontic treatment can help deliver the dazzling smile you’ve always wanted. But, what, exactly, is the cause of crooked teeth?

There are several reasons why some children’s teeth grow in crooked or overlapping. Some of the common reasons for crooked teeth include:

Thumb-sucking

Tongue thrusting or improper use of the tongue during speaking and swallowing

Early loss of baby teeth, which causes teeth to drift and shift

Prolonged use of a baby bottle or the use of a pacifier after the age of three

Poor breathing airway caused by enlarged adenoids or tonsils

There are also hereditary factors we get from our parents that determine how straight or crooked our teeth are. These include extra teeth, large teeth, missing teeth, wide spaces between teeth or even jaws that are too small to accommodate their erupting teeth.

It is important to recognize that having crooked teeth isn’t just a cosmetic issue; it can lead to serious health problems down the road as well. Crooked teeth can:

Interfere with proper chewing, a problem you face at every meal that impacts your nutrition

Make keeping your teeth clean more of a challenge, increasing the chance of developing cavities, tooth decay and gingivitis and finally tooth replacement Mill Hill.

Strain the teeth, jaws and muscles, increasing the risk of breaking a tooth
