Consequences of Untreated Crooked Teeth
When left untreated, crooked teeth can lead to many consequences that can affect your oral health and overall well-being. Understanding these potential issues is crucial to recognizing the importance of seeking timely treatment.
- Difficulties in cleaning: Misaligned teeth make proper cleaning challenging, increasing the risk of plaque buildup, tooth decay, and gum disease.
- Uneven wear: Crooked teeth can cause abnormal wear patterns, making certain teeth more susceptible to damage and sensitivity.
- Speech issues: Misaligned teeth make it difficult to articulate certain sounds.
- Jaw pain and TMJ disorders: Crooked teeth can disrupt jaw alignment, leading to TMJ disorders, which cause jaw pain, clicking sounds, headaches, and limited jaw movement.
- Increased risk of dental injuries: Crooked teeth are more prone to chips, fractures, and injuries during activities such as sports or eating.
- Aesthetic concerns and self-confidence: Crooked teeth can impact smile aesthetics, leading to self-consciousness and decreased self-esteem.
- Digestive issues: Poorly aligned teeth can affect chewing, potentially leading to digestive discomfort and decreased nutrient absorption.

What’s the root cause of crooked teeth?
Crooked teeth can be caused by a variety of factors, including
- Genetics: Inherited traits from parents and family members can influence tooth alignment.
- Insufficient space: Limited jaw space can lead to overcrowding and misalignment of teeth.
- Dental trauma: Accidents or injuries to the mouth can cause teeth to become crooked.
- Poor oral habits: Improper swallowing, mouth breathing, or tongue thrusting can contribute to crooked teeth.
- Unbalanced jaw growth: Differences in the upper and lower jaws can result in misalignment.
Treatments for crooked teeth at Burnaby Dental Centre
Invisalign
Clear aligners offer a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces. These custom-made, transparent trays gradually move the teeth into position. They’re also removable, allowing easy oral hygiene maintenance and flexibility during treatment.
Veneers
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells bonded to the front surface of the teeth, creating a straighter and more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
