Crooked teeth are an important health concern because they cause people to be self-conscious about their smiles and pose a number of health risks that go beyond just oral health. Crooked teeth can negatively affect your daily life, so it’s important to be mindful of what can happen and what you can do about it.
Frequent Causes of Crooked Teeth
While there are many different causes of crooked teeth, some of the most common include genetics, thumb sucking, and injury.
If your parents had crooked teeth, you’re more likely to have them as well. If you sucked your thumb as a child or still do, that can also cause your teeth to become misaligned. Trauma to the mouth from an accident or fall can also lead to crooked teeth. Crooked teeth can also be the result of mouth breathing or an underlying health condition such as cleft palate or scoliosis.
Concerns of Crooked Teeth
There are a number of worries that come with having crooked teeth. For one, they can be difficult to clean properly which puts you at a higher risk for tooth decay and gum disease. They can also cause headaches, migraines and jaw pain due to pressure on your teeth, nerves and jaw. People with crooked teeth often have bad breath, trouble speaking and eating properly.
These issues can lead to a lack of confidence and social anxiety. They may avoid smiling or social situations altogether out of embarrassment.
Treatment options
The good news is that there are treatments available for crooked teeth. This is not something that you have to live with, there is help available.
Clear aligners are a simple alternative to braces that are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking and cleaning. The results can be as fast as 6 months! Straightening your teeth will improve your oral health and give you an essential boost of confidence.
