Crooked teeth: Causes, Concerns and a Solution.
Crooked, misaligned teeth are very common and many adults and children have them. A lot of people choose to embrace their natural teeth, living with a bit of a wonky smile. However, in some cases they can pose a health risk, or be a big insecurity for the individual - leading them to undertake treatment.
What causes Crooked Teeth?
There isn’t one sole cause for crooked teeth - but rather a variety of factors that can influence the shape of your smile.
Habits
thumb sucking
dummy/ bottle sucking
mouth breathing
Childhood habits are harmless if they’re nipped in the bud. However, if continued past the age of 5, they can start to have a serious impact on the formation of our adult teeth. Thus causing misalignment issues (crooked teeth), bite issues and jaw issues.
Are Crooked Teeth a Bad Thing?
During childhood, crooked and “gappy” teeth would only add charm to our cute, little faces. However as we grow older, our characterful features can develop into insecurities that we grow to resent. Many individuals chose to embrace their individuality, keeping their natural smiles. However, a lot of people chose to straighten their smiles for aesthetic purposes.
