Sometimes, the denture has simple malformations that are not likely to adversely affect our health, while other times there is a deformity that is derived from skeletal malformations and must be treated medically, with the purpose of restoring the tooth in the correct position.

The special dentist or dental technologist proposes a number of solutions and we have to choose one of the available methods of intervention in the denture us. What do we do, then?

The identification of the problem:

When we talk about crooked teeth, essentially we are talking about the misalignment of the teeth in our. Through the years, this situation can lead to even pain in the oral cavity. The main reason is that our teeth have a bad convergence. The deeper causes of the good alignment of the teeth can be hereditary or may have been affected by the early fall of deciduous teeth during childhood (6-12 years old). If, indeed, we have lost baby teeth earlier than normal, then it is likely to have shifted some of the neighboring teeth until the appearance of the permanent tooth, and so the new tooth takes on a warped direction as it grows.
