Why is it so common for teeth to come in crooked?

904 views

Could it be more of a genetic thing to have straight teeth or are there outside factors involved too? Not to mention having crooked teeth can cause so many issues but it’s common.

There are genetic factors to this, but a lot of it is caused by outside factors. A big one is the introduction of pacifiers and feeding bottles for babies. They chew on this hard plastic, and it pushes their teeth out of alignment. It’s the same effect retainers hsve on your teeth, only the other way. It’s worth noting that this mostly have an effect on the “overbite” phenomenon, where all or most of your upper front teeth get pushed forward.
