Crooked Teeth Is Not Just a Cosmetic Concern

One major issue with crooked teeth is that until you straighten them, they will stay that way and even cause dental problems. That’s why you’ll need to undergo treatment for teeth straightening in Ladysmith.

Your teeth could be overlapping with their surrounding teeth and as a result, it will lead to an overbite or underbite problem. Your teeth’s enamel may become damaged due to the friction caused by overlapping teeth.

Dental Issues Caused by Crooked Teeth

Enhanced Risk of Injury

The probability of injury inside your mouth will increase if you have crooked teeth, regardless of whether you engage in sports or have physically demanding work that could potentially result in facial harm. Additionally, the positioning of your tooth will be more likely to pierce the inside of your cheeks or lip if you have crooked teeth.

Tooth Damage

Teeth that are already crooked will only get more crooked, which will cause them to overlap and grind against one another. This will keep happening until you straighten them out, harming both your teeth and enamel.

Compromised Oral Health

Compromised oral health may lead to gum disease and this problem has to do with how compliant you are to clean your teeth. Likewise, this is due to the fact that gingivitis can develop if your teeth are not properly cleaned and maintained. The early stage of gum disease, known as gingivitis, can progress to periodontitis, a more severe illness that can cause tooth loss.

Jaw Pain

Your jaw may need to realign due to your teeth moving out of place, which could put undue strain on it. TMD or temporomandibular joint disorder is a condition that can result from this. Jaw pain because of crooked teeth can cause an uneasy feeling and even develop TMD.
