Crooked Teeth
In Leesburg, FL
What Are Crooked Teeth?
Crooked teeth, also known as malocclusion, refer to teeth that are misaligned or not properly positioned. This can range from slightly rotated teeth to severely crowded or overlapping ones.
What Are the Causes of Crooked Teeth?
Genetics: Inherited traits like jaw size and shape can predispose someone to crooked teeth.
Childhood habits: Thumb sucking or prolonged pacifier use can affect tooth alignment.
Early tooth loss: Losing baby teeth too early can create space issues for permanent teeth.
Injury or trauma: Accidents can displace teeth.
Corrective Treatments
Invisalign Clear Aligners: These discreet, removable aligners gradually shift teeth into the desired position.
Fastbraces: These braces may offer quicker treatment times than traditional braces.
