Causes of crooked teeth
Having crooked or crowded teeth is very common and can be due to several factors:
- Genetics: Jaw and tooth size are often inherited.
- Bad habits in childhood: Thumb sucking or using a pacifier beyond age 3.
- Premature loss of baby teeth: Can cause permanent teeth to come in at the wrong position.
Why correct it?
Beyond aesthetics, aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Also, a good bite prevents temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems.
