Do you have crooked teeth ?

CROOKED TEETH

Crooked or misaligned teeth are very common in adults and children.

Crooked front teeth are aesthetically unappealing to most people, but not just the look of crooked teeth alone cause a problem and it will attract unwanted discomforts in your oral health.

Causes:

• Baby teeth sometimes move into crooked positions because of small jaw size.
• Prolonged habits, such as thumb sucking or pacifier usage, causes the baby teeth in crooked positions.

THUMB SUCKING LEADS TO PROTRUDED
 FRONT TEETH AND AN OPEN BITE 

• Hereditary and genetics also plays a role.
• Premature loss of baby teeth, may cause the permanent teeth to go into crooked positions.
  
• Smaller jaw size.
• Poor myofunctional habits such as thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing.
• Crooked teeth are at greater risk of injury. Injury to the face or mouth can knock the tooth out to crooked position.

INJURY TO THE TEETH CAUSED BY  FALL

Consequences to crooked teeth:

• Periodontal disease - it can be hard to clean between the crooked teeth results in tooth decay and gum disease. If left untreated gum disease leads to periodontitis.

PERIODONTITIS

• Speech difficulties.
• Lack of self esteem and self avoidance.

Treatment to crooked teeth:

• Orthodontic treatment is used to correct the crooked teeth. After the orthodontic treatment, wearing the retainer is must. Retainers prevent the teeth from going back to their original positions.

CERAMIC BRACES AND METAL BRACES

INVISIBLE CLEAR ALIGNERS

Full mouth reconstruction with flexible dentures.

FULL MOUTH REHABILITATION IN 10 DAYS
@ ROOTZ DENTAL CARE & IMPLANT CENTER

                  An old male patient came to our clinic with pain in upper and lower front teeth region. He also complains of long term missing teeth in upper and lower back teeth region on both sides. He also had difficulty in chewing the food.

 As there is long term missing teeth, the opposing teeth near missing teeth region got supra-erupted (drifted towards missing teeth space), the bite got collapsed and the facial height is reduced, so to bring back the normal height of his face & to correct the bite, we need to create space for replacing the missing teeth, so we advised to go for root canal treatment and crowns for opposing teeth.

As there is only minimal tooth structure left for lower front teeth, feasibility to save the teeth is not possible, we advised to go for removal of lower front teeth.

Since the patient is not interested to go for implants, replacement is done by flexible denture and precision attachment and bridges.

Crown after root canal treatment

CROWN  AFTER  RCT

                         Root canal treatment involves cleaning the tooth and removing infected pulp tissue from the tooth.

                    
                          After root canal treatment there is no nutrient supply to the tooth, the tooth becomes brittle, and there is high risk of fracture, so it is mandatory to go for a crown after root canal treatment to be used as a normal tooth.
