“Crooked teeth” refers to any situation where a person’s teeth are not properly aligned. This can include overcrowded teeth, extra teeth, missing teeth (due to accidents or injuries), or other related issues.

In most cases, crooked teeth aren’t a dental problem on their own. However, while misaligned teeth are common in both adults and children, they can contribute to various health concerns.

• Misaligned teeth can impact your ability to chew effectively, leading to pain while eating and potential long-term digestive problems.
• Crooked teeth can also contribute to periodontal disease by creating hard-to-reach areas between teeth, which can lead to bone and tooth damage over time.

• Lastly, misaligned teeth can affect speech and contribute to an “imperfect” smile, which may lower a person’s self-esteem and cause dissatisfaction with their appearance.
