Crooked Teeth

Tooth crowding, jaw size, jaw shape, hyperdontia (too many teeth), overbites, underbites and poor tooth or palate development are genetic factors that can contribute to misaligned teeth.

Over time, changes in your oral health or habits, such as grinding or clenching your teeth, can cause your teeth to shift or become loose, just like the blocks in a Jenga tower. As the teeth shift, they can create gaps, crowding, or changes in the bite, affecting the stability and function of the entire mouth
