Why are teeth misaligned?

Misalignment of teeth can have several causes:

Malocclusion of the jaw

Misaligned jaws can lead to a shift in the alignment of the teeth.

Frenum of the tongue or lips

These tissues can sometimes restrict the natural movement of teeth, leading to their improper positioning.

Bad habits

Thumb sucking, prolonged use of pacifiers or bottles can influence dental alignment.

Injuries or trauma

A direct impact on the dentition can shift some teeth.

Poor dental hygiene

A lack of oral care can lead to cavities or infections that affect the position of the teeth.

What are the different types of dental misalignment?

Sagittal malocclusions

These malocclusions are characterized by a front-to-back shift between the upper and lower jaws.

Transversal malocclusions

In this case, there is a lateral misalignment between the upper and lower teeth.

Vertical malocclusions

They manifest as unequal heights of the upper and lower teeth, causing deep bites or overlaps.

What is dental straightening or alignment?

Dental alignment is an orthodontic treatment aimed at correcting the position of the teeth to improve the aesthetics of the smile and chewing function. This process involves the use of dental appliances, aligners, or specific techniques depending on the patient’s case.
