What Causes Crooked Teeth ?

There are many factors that can cause crooked teeth. For example:

– The size of the teeth that take more room for the available space given by the jaws and the gums

– The front teeth that have come out in a wrong angulation (too forward or too backward) and therefore

the way your teeth meet, called occlusion, is not “in line” with each other

– The upper and lower jaws, that have not grown in harmony, can cause interference with the way your teeth

have come out into the shape that you see them now

– Bad habits such as putting things (such as your thumb, fingers or other objects like a pen) into your mouth,

between your teeth, bad tongue habits when you are at rest and when you eat and speak.

How Do Teeth Move ?

With gentle forces applied by the braces, teeth will relocate within the jaw bones. There is also a reshaping of

the gums surrounding the teeth that will occur.

What can I improve while seeking orthodontic services at

OrthoMontreal, orthodontist in Ville St-Laurent ?

If you think you can:

- improve the esthetics (the looks) of your teeth to be straighter, and in line with each other

- improve the esthetics of your jaws that should be more in harmony, being in line with one another

- improve the function, which is the way you can chew foods, and therefore better digestion for

your stomach and your gastro intestinal system

- improve the way your permanent teeth (adult teeth) will come in

- improve your oral hygiene because straight teeth are easier to keep clean

surrounding tissues like gums, palate, jaw bones are harmonious to each other

- improve your overall confidence
