Crooked teeth are teeth that are misaligned or improperly positioned in the mouth. This can cause both functional and aesthetic issues, affecting your smile and overall oral health. At Dr. Gowd’s Dental Clinic, located in Hyderabad, we understand the importance of a confident smile and proper bite. Our team is committed to providing personalized care for those experiencing crooked teeth.
What Are Crooked Teeth?
Crooked teeth occur when teeth do not align properly with each other, either due to overcrowding, gaps, or misalignment. This condition can affect the way you chew, speak, and even smile. It is a common dental concern that can be addressed with the right treatment.
Causes of Crooked Teeth
- Genetics: A major factor is inheritance. If your family members had crooked teeth, you are more likely to have them as well.
- Jaw-to-teeth ratio: In case the jaws are either too small or too big in comparison to the teeth, overcrowding and spacing result.
- Childhood Habits: Prolonged thumb sucking, pacifier use, and mouth breathing can cause teeth to shift and crowd, leading to misalignment.
- Early Loss of Baby Teeth: The premature loss of baby or milk teeth causes nearby teeth to shift, resulting in misalignment.
- Injury or Trauma: A fall or accident can knock a tooth out of place, resulting in misalignment.
- Poor Posture or Mouth Breathing: Breathing through the mouth or slouching can also contribute to crooked teeth over time.
Types of Crooked Teeth
- Crowded Teeth: When there’s not enough space in the mouth, teeth may overlap or twist.
- Spacing Issues: Large gaps between teeth, often due to missing teeth or an oversized jaw.
- Overbite: Protrusion of the upper teeth beyond lower teeth
- Underbite: Extension of lower teeth below the upper teeth
- Crossbite: A bite where the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth.
- Open Bite: A gap between the upper and lower teeth, even when the mouth is closed.
Before and After Crooked Teeth
Treatment options for crooked teeth
At Dr. Gowd’s Dental Clinic, we offer several treatment options depending on the severity of the misalignment:
- Braces: They include traditional metal braces. Gradual pressure is applied to shift your teeth into proper alignment.
- Clear Aligners (Invisalign): In contrast to conventional orthodontic treatment, clear aligners are pre-made, removable, and almost invisible, making them a popular choice among adults and teens.
- Retainers: This is an orthodontic appliance worn after completing treatment with braces to maintain the new tooth position and prevent relapse.
- Veneers: Minor tooth alignment may be treated using dental veneers that make teeth look perfect by altering the structure with minimal intervention.
- Surgical Options: In severe cases, jaw surgery may be necessary to correct alignment problems.
