Teeth that are misaligned, twisted, or overlapped are known as crooked teeth and can happen for any number of reasons, such as genetics, jaw size, or habits. If left untreated, they can cause bite, speech and appearance problems and dental problems may result.

 

Dr. Teeth- Implant & Aesthetic Centre provides expert crooked teeth treatment with personalised solutions to align and straighten teeth. We use advanced techniques to improve smiles, improve oral health and give patients more confidence.

 

What causes crooked Teeth?

Understanding the causes can help identify the most effective treatment options for a healthy, straight smile.

1. Genetics: Dental alignment is influenced by genetics. If one or both parents have crooked teeth, chances are their children will, too have misaligned teeth or a misaligned bite.

2. Jaw Size: Diet and evolution have caused human jaw sizes to decrease over the years. A smaller jaw may mean less room for teeth to erupt and may end up crowded or crooked.
3. Thumb Sucking and Pacifier Use: Thumb sucking, pacifier use or prolonged bottle feeding during childhood can put pressure on developing teeth, forcing them out of alignment and leading to crooked teeth.
4. Poor Oral Habits: Over time poor oral habits such as tongue thrusting (pushing the tongue against the teeth while swallowing or speaking) or mouth breathing can affect the position of the jaw and teeth.
5. Injury or Trauma: Teeth can become misaligned due to injury to the mouth or jaw. During childhood when teeth and jaws are still developing, a knock to the mouth can shift teeth from their proper position.

 

How Our Dentists Treat Crooked Teeth

At Dr. Teeth—Implant & Aesthetic Centre, we offer a range of advanced treatments tailored to straighten teeth and enhance smiles.

1. Consultation & Assessment: Our process starts with a thorough consultation and an extensive dental assessment. Our dentist will examine your bite, how your jaw is aligned, and your overall oral health to determine the cause and degree of misalignment.

2. Customized Treatment Plans: We create a treatment plan for your case. Whether your teeth are mildly crooked, or severely misaligned.
3. Braces: Crooked teeth are usually corrected with traditional metal or ceramic braces. They move teeth gradually into the right position.
4. Clear Aligners: For patients who prefer a discreet option, we offer things like Invisalign clear aligners. Custom made, these removable, transparent trays slowly shift your teeth into alignment.
5. Retainers: Once your teeth are straightened, our dentists advise you to use retainers to prevent your teeth from going back to their original position.
6. Surgical Options: Severe cases may require surgical procedures to correct misalignment or jaw problems. We have a skilled team who provides advanced surgical options as well as orthodontic treatments for the best outcome.
