Crooked or Misshapen Teeth
Crooked and misaligned teeth are teeth that appear out of place due to crowding, overlapping, missing/extra teeth, incorrect bite and misaligned jaw.
Crooked and misaligned teeth can not only make you feel self conscious but it can also make brushing and flossing a lot more difficult. This is because food can get caught in the hard to reach places and over time, if not cleaned properly it mayl lead to plaque build-up and gum disease.
What Causes Teeth to be Crooked?
There are various factors contributing to the shape and alignment of your teeth, some of these causes include:
- Small jaw causing crowded, overlapping and twisted teeth
- Misaligned lower and upper jaws which causes an overbite or underbite
- Premature loss of baby or adult teeth
- Habits such as thumb sucking and/or tongue thrusting
