What leads to misaligned teeth?
A child may get crooked baby teeth, and an adult may occasionally grow crooked teeth. Because there isn’t enough room in the gums for the teeth to properly erupt, a baby’s teeth may become misaligned or crooked. Baby teeth may be impacted by prolonged thumb or pacifier sucking and may cause crowding or crookedness. Heredity and genetics can also harm teeth. It’s not always the case that if your child has crooked baby teeth, they will have crooked teeth as an adult. Your child’s permanent teeth can grow in the proper positions.
Children can take a blow to the face when playing because they don’t often think about safety. Baby teeth may fall out early due to dental trauma or cavities, in which case the adult teeth may not grow straight from the gums but rather slightly slanted. The following are some more causes of crooked teeth.
Jaw Misalignment
Your top teeth should naturally protrude slightly above your bottom teeth. When your teeth don’t line up in this way, malocclusion happens. Both an overbite and an underbite can cause your teeth to be out of alignment. The upper front teeth extend much further than the lower front teeth when there is an overbite. The opposite occurs when you have an underbite when the lower front teeth protrude more than the top front teeth. Malocclusion may be the outcome of oral myofunctional abnormalities.
Poor Oral Hygiene
If you don’t visit the dentist at least once a year for a checkup, issues like cavities and gum disease may occasionally go untreated. This may result in other dental health issues, such as misaligned teeth.
Heredity and Genetics
It’s conceivable that you will have crowded or misaligned teeth if one or both of your parents did. An underbite or overbite from your parents is also possible.
Poor Nutrition
Poor nutrition, especially in young children, can cause dental problems such as tooth decay and poor dental growth, which could eventually lead to crooked teeth.
Using metal braces to straighten teeth
Using bands, brackets, and a wire, the orthodontist fastens fixed metal braces Lahore to the patient’s teeth. For those who suffer from severe alignment difficulties, this is a suitable alternative. You might also need to wear headgear, which is often only necessary at night, to straighten your teeth. The braces in Pakistan today are far more comfortable and use smaller brackets than those of the past. Rubber bands come in a variety of colors that can be chosen based on your own choices.

Straighten teeth surgery
Another option to explore is teeth-straightening surgery. The duration of time braces must be worn can be reduced thanks to surgery. Your teeth-supporting bones and gums may need to be slightly realigned during the procedure. Additionally, your orthodontist may suggest a complex operation to straighten your jaw. If your ability to speak or chew has been impaired by crooked teeth, this operation is typically advised. The type of operation, the area, and the availability of insurance all affect the procedure’s cost.
