Our teeth come in all shapes and sizes, making every smile unique! Some of us may have crooked teeth - a dental condition where teeth are misaligned or crowded in the mouth. Teeth that are misaligned can cause a number of health issues, and can even affect your confidence and sense of well-being.
If you're unhappy with how your smile looks, or feel like it's affecting your health, you can consider having your teeth realigned. The good news is, there are many ways to correct crooked smiles and we're here to learn more about them today!
So what's the reason why some of us have crooked teeth? Read on to learn more!
The size of your jaw, teeth or even the presence of extra teeth can affect whether you have crooked teeth or not. If one or both of your parents have crooked teeth, you're also more likely to inherit the same condition.
If you've got a dental condition like an impacted wisdom tooth or bruxism, this can apply pressure to your teeth, causing them to shift and become crooked.
Not brushing your teeth regularly can also lead to cavities and gum disease, and can cause teeth to be misaligned.
You are what you eat! Not consuming the right foods can lead to poor teeth development, and contribute to crooked teeth.
Did you used to suck your thumb as a kid? Sometimes, poor habits you had as a child may apply pressure to your gums and cause your teeth to shift, and lead to misaligned teeth.
Any injury to your face and jaw can cause your jaw to shift, and result in your teeth or bite becoming misaligned. If you've been accidentally punched in the face, this can knock teeth out of place, resulting in crooked teeth.
Although our teeth are naturally not perfectly aligned, modern advancements in technology have created solutions that can help you get a straighter smile. Most importantly, nicely aligned teeth can benefit your oral health and give you a much needed boost of confidence.
Depending on your unique case, this may mean a longer treatment time or the need to remove wisdom teeth before starting any form of treatment. But it's always good to seek your dentist's advice before you get your teeth corrected.
Here are a few reasons why it's good to have your crooked teeth fixed!
There are several ways to fix crooked teeth, depending on how severe your teeth condition is and your unique case.
Clear aligners are a popular alternative to traditional braces, using a series of clear, custom-made plastic aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. Using advanced 3D printing technology to create aligners that are personalised to your unique smile, they fit snugly on your teeth and are easily removable to suit your lifestyle. Each aligner is typically worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, or as prescribed by your dentist.
As one of the most common methods for straightening teeth, traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually apply gentle pressure and move teeth into their desired positions. They come in traditional metal, clear ceramic, and even invisible lingual braces that attach to the backside of your teeth.
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They're great for completely reshaping and covering up crooked or misshapen teeth, but can't fix any underlying issues and need to be replaced every 7 1o 15 years.
For a more long term solution that can correct crooked teeth, braces may be a more suitable alternative. Read more on the differences between veneers and invisible braces. In any case, your dentist will prescribe the solution that's best for your smile.
Even if you have crooked teeth, there's no need to panic. Modern advancements in clear aligner technology have made it so much easier for you to have a beautiful smile! Wonder what's the journey like for Zenyum customers? Learn more below.
