When we talk about straightening the teeth for a perfect smile, people usually only think of the most prominent upper front teeth. But lower crooked teeth can also affect your smile and impact your oral health. They might not be the most visible teeth in general but they are visible when you smile, speak, or laugh. They can also be a source of embarrassment in social situations, affecting your confidence. The good news is that you can straighten your bottom teeth with different orthodontic methods. In this blog, we will discuss the most common ways to straighten bottom teeth.
What Causes Crooked Bottom Teeth?
Multiple factors can lead to crooked bottom teeth:
- Genetics: Malocclusions or misalignment can be found in a family's genes.
- Thumb Sucking: Sucking your thumb when you're young can push teeth out of place.
- Early tooth loss: Losing baby teeth too early can cause permanent teeth to grow crooked.
- Injury: An accident or hit to the mouth can move teeth out of alignment.
- Poor Dental Care: Not taking care of your teeth can lead to gum problems, which may cause teeth to shift and become crooked.
Common Issues with Bottom Teeth Alignment
Crowded lower teeth can damage the aesthetics of your smile and the function of your bite. The common issues with bottom teeth alignment are:
Overcrowding: if you have bigger or extra teeth there isn’t enough space for them to grow. Then the teeth can overlap or crowd together.
Gaps: Extra spaces between teeth can make your smile uneven.
Crooked Teeth: Teeth that grow in the wrong direction can affect your bite and appearance.
Underbite: When the bottom teeth stick out farther than the top teeth, it can cause jaw problems.
Shifting Teeth: Teeth can move over time, causing alignment issues and discomfort.
Why do you need to Straighten Your Bottom Teeth?
Better Smile: Crooked bottom teeth affect your smile badly, people notice this. Straightening your bottom teeth will give you a perfect smile. You could smile, speak, or laugh confidently in public.
Easier Cleaning: Misaligned teeth make it difficult to clean. The toothbrush can’t even reach some areas in your mouth. Straight bottom teeth will be easier to brush and floss. Maintaining good oral hygiene can help prevent many dental issues.
Healthier Gums: Crooked teeth can create gum problems including swelling, pain, or bleeding while brushing. Straight teeth will prevent gum diseases and related problems.
Improved Bite: You can’t bite properly if your lower teeth are misaligned. Straight bottom teeth make it easier to bite and chew your food properly.
