Why are teeth crooked?
Crooked and untidy teeth are one of the common problems of all ages and can affect self-confidence, chewing and even oral health. Knowing the causes of crooked teeth helps parents and adults to choose the best treatment method and prevent more serious problems.
1. Genetic factors and natural development
Genetics play an important role in the shape and size of the jaw and teeth. Some children have a small jaw or grow bigger teeth, which causes their teeth to be disorganized and crowded. Even if milk teeth are regular, permanent teeth may become crooked due to lack of space.
2. Oral habits of children
Oral habits in children, including finger sucking or prolonged pacifier use, can cause crooked teeth. Constant pressure on the teeth and jaw may cause crooked and misaligned teeth over time. Stopping these habits on time plays an important role in preventing crooked teeth.
Some effective habits in children's crooked teeth:
- Thumb sucking after the age of 4
- teeth grinding or pressure on the teeth
- long use of pacifier
- chewing hard foods
3. Environmental factors and lifestyle
Life style and diet can also affect the growth of jaws and teeth. Consuming too much soft or processed foods and reducing the natural chewing activity causes the jaw to shrink and create insufficient space for the regular growth of teeth.
4. Eruption of wisdom teeth and adult changes
Even if the teeth were straight in childhood, the growth of wisdom teeth and bone and gum changes in adulthood can cause the need for crooked teeth orthodontics. This natural movement of the teeth can cause crowding and changing the order of the teeth.
Dr. Farinaz Shirban's opinion about adult orthodontics
