What problem can be caused by crowded teeth?
Teeth crowding affects 74% of American adults. If it is left untreated it can lead to periodontal disease and create an abnormal amount of stress on teeth and the jaw which can lead to premature wear & tear. The effects of crooked teeth can worsen over time and may adversely affect your overall health.
Crowding can fracture the edges of teeth. Additionally, a bad bite may produce improper forces on the jaw joint which may lead to jaw pain and even cause headaches. It becomes difficult to remove plaque and bacteria from the crowded area. Bacteria that is not properly removed will multiply and lead to periodontal disease which begins as gum inflammation, redness and cause bleeding while brushing and flossing.
