Having crooked teeth brings more problems than
looking bad. First, having an overbite or underbite can cause problems when
chewing. Mismatched teeth make it difficult for food to be chewed properly,
resulting in larger pieces of food that could end up in the gaps of your teeth.
This leads directly to the second problem: crooked teeth are hard to clean. If
your teeth aren’t straight, even brushing and flossing might not be enough to
remove dirt and plaque. Finally, crooked teeth are still growing and will
direct pressure at each other. This strains your teeth and jaws, increasing the
chance of a tooth breaking.
