Having crooked teeth is one of the main problems among the population. Discover the causes which is the best solution. A snaggle tooth is one that grows unaligned with the rest of the placement.
Causes for which the denture is not aligned
The origin of misaligned teeth can be multiple:
Genetic issues: It is very common that if our parents have crooked teeth, we do too.
The eruption of the wisdom teeth: It can alter the position of the rest of the pieces.
Impacted or impacted teeth: Those that have not erupted in the normal time, and that displace the adjacent teeth
Malposition’s can also occur due to bad habits, especially at an early age. Prolong the use of the pacifier, thumb sucking, poor position in swallowing…
Problems that can cause crooked teeth
Not having straight teeth is not simply an aesthetic problem. Crooked teeth also have functional consequences for the mouth and problems for health in general.
Chewing problems:
Malocclusion can lead to food not being chewed correctly and even lead to digestive problems.
Dental problems:
Mounted and crowded teeth make oral cleaning difficult. Consequently, more bacterial plaque is generated. This carries a higher risk of getting cavities or periodontal problems. Another serious consequence for the teeth is dental wear due to the fact that the pieces do not fit together and there is an unnatural friction between them.
Bad breath:
Bacteria present in the periodontal tissues cause halitosis.
Muscle pain:
Due to the incorrect bite that leads to misalignment of the teeth, it generates unnecessary tension in the jaw and teeth. As a result, you can suffer pain in the muscles of the face, headaches or neck pain. It is common in patients with bruxism.
Speech problems:
Especially in children who are just beginning to develop their phonetic skills. The position of the teeth greatly influences the ability to speak.
