  1. Oral problems are common in India, with nearly 50% of the population suffering from some kind of dental problem like gum diseases, cracked and chipped teeth, tooth decay, and crooked teeth. If you look at yourself in the mirror and aren’t happy with your smile, you must visit the dentist to learn more about crooked teeth treatment. What Is Crooked Teeth? Misaligned teeth that are bent or twisted out of shape are called crooked teeth. They are common among children but could continue in adulthood as well. If left untreated, they could cause dental problems like tooth decay or even cause some of them to become crooked and crowded. Crooked Teeth Causes

  2. Babies and adults can have crooked teeth, or they can become crooked later when they’re too small to fit into the allocated gum space. Some factors contributing to crooked teeth include thumb sucking, using a pacifier or bottle for long, thrusting, mouth breathing, or even trauma to the mouth or tooth decay. Sometimes, it could be hereditary. Scientists believe that our modern diet does not include much chewing, which could have contributed to a shorter jaw size and increased problem of crowded, crooked, and misaligned teeth. Malocclusion or misaligned jaw is another problem that leads to crooked teeth. In extreme cases, a poor diet could also lead to crooked teeth. Problems Caused By Crooked Teeth Crooked teeth can affect the quality of life, including chewing and biting. Besides this, some health issues involved in crooked teeth include periodontal diseases, gum diseases, tooth decay, TMJ, cracked teeth, and wear and tear of the teeth, gums, and jaw muscles. It could lead to speech difficulties and affect a person’s self-esteem. Crooked Teeth Treatment Metal Braces There are several crooked teeth treatment options with primary treatments like conventional braces and Invisalign. Metal braces are the most popular treatment. It involves mounting brackets to individual teeth using bonding technology. These brackets are connected using an archwire and a ligature on the back molars to secure the archwire into place. The treatment recovery time varies from patient to patient, usually 6 to 36 months. Invisalign Invisalign or invisible aligners are not effective if the patient’s teeth aren’t too twisted or not tilted more than 45 degrees. The treatment is ideal because they are removable and convenient to clean and maintain oral hygiene. But it is expensive and involves changing Invisalign trays multiple times in fact, you’ll go through at least 18 to 30 trays during a typical 11-month treatment.

  3. Veneers: Dental veneers are an effective and permanent treatment. The veneer is custom-designed for natural and beautiful-looking teeth. Veneers mask crooked and misshapen teeth. But you’ll have to remove the enamel to start veneer treatment. Teeth Contouring If the teeth are mildly crowded, the dentist may suggest teeth contouring. This treatment involves reshaping the teeth to make them appear neater and straighter. Dental Bonding Dental bonding is another simple treatment that involves shaping, moulding, and colour- matching the crooked teeth. Crooked Teeth Treatment Cost Crooked teeth treatment cost varies depending on the type of treatment availed. For instance, crooked teeth treatment for teeth straightening could range from INR 20,000 to INR 40,000, and Invisalign could go from INR1,50,000 to 3,50,000.
