Uneven Teeth

Uneven Teeth—also called dental misalignment—can compromise oral health as well as appearance. There are several causes for this disorder, including heredity, thumb-sucking in early years, extended bottle-feeding, or jaw traumas. Sometimes misalignment also results from wisdom teeth eruption or abnormal jaw development.
Beyond looks, misaligned teeth can cause problems chewing, communication difficulties, and a higher risk of gum disease and cavities. Misaligned teeth produce tight areas where food particles and plaque gather, which makes appropriate cleaning difficult. Uneven pressure on teeth during biting can also lead to enamel degradation and jaw pain.
Fortunately, several methods of therapy exist to straighten uneven teeth. Dental contouring or veneers can help shape minor imperfections, but braces and clear aligners progressively straighten teeth. Severe cases could need orthodontic treatments, including jaw surgery or palate expansion. Maintaining proper oral hygiene and frequent dental visits helps to avoid problems and enhances general dental condition.
If your teeth are out of alignment, visiting a dentist or orthodontist can help you achieve a better, more confident smile. Modern dental developments guarantee that any age group can find suitable treatments.
