Should I see a dentist about my crooked teeth?
For many people, the appearance of their crooked teeth is enough of a reason for them to seek treatment. In these instances, treatment is a personal decision. But when health concerns such as periodontal disease develop as a result of crooked teeth, seeking a dentist is important.
If you are experiencing health concerns due to crooked teeth, don’t worry. Dr. Jensen will help determine if your crooked teeth are causing problems for your health. He will lay out your options and together you’ll determine the best course of treatment for your particular situation.
What causes crooked teeth?
Crooked teeth are caused my a number of factors, including:
- Genetics, jaw size and teeth alignment are often inherited from parents
- Childhood habits such as thumb sucking, tongue-thrusting, and extended pacifier use
- Early loss of baby teeth, causing emerging adult teeth to set in the wrong positions
- Trauma or injuries to your face and jaw can create crooked teeth
What problems do crooked teeth cause?
- Periodontal disease & tooth decay: When teeth are crooked, they can be difficult to adequately clean at home, leading to tooth decay and gum disease.
- Teeth wear: Misaligned teeth often lead to excessive and uneven wear on your enamel. This can lead to cracked teeth, TMD or jaw pain, and headaches.
- Digestive issues: Since misaligned and crooked teeth can cause chewing issues, they can lead to digestive issues.
How to treat crooked or misaligned teeth
The most common way for adults to treat crooked or misaligned teeth is through clear aligners such as ClearCorrect. This treatment gently repositions and aligns your teeth, reducing the likelihood of oral health issues and creating a beautifully straight smile.
ClearCorrect is a great option for adults instead of metal braces as it is more discreet and can be removed for eating, brushing/flossing, and special occasions. It also requires fewer adjustments and is a more comfortable option. Contact Chugach Dental today to learn more!
