six month smiles adult bracesNo one likes having crooked teeth and there are several reasons why teeth my come in crooked, overlapping or twisted.  One of the main reasons is a person’s mouth is just to small for their teeth and it causes crowding.  In some cases, the lower and  upper jaws may be malformed or may not be the same size.  This causes either an overbite which is an excessive protrusion of the upper jaw or an underbite which is a protrusion of the lower just past the upper.

Sometimes these are inherited traits while in other cases it could be caused by early loss of baby teeth or adult teeth, improper fitting of dental restorations, gum disease, undue pressure on the gums and teeth, misalignment of the jaw due to a sustained injury or tumors in the mouth and jaw.  In kids, it can be the result of thumb sucking, thrusting of the tongue or use of a pacifier and prolonged bottle use.

The difficulties having crooked teeth can lead to are numerous and can affect a person’s self-esteem.  Here are some problems associated with crooked or misaligned teeth:

  • Not being able to chew food properly
  • Difficulty in keeping the teeth clean which can cause tooth decay and gum disease
  • Strain on the teeth, jaws and muscles which will increase the chance of teeth breaking
  • Low self-esteem
  • Can cause headaches and jaw pain
  • Excessive wear
  • Bad breath
  • Speech difficulties
