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.

The actual answer is this. Our jaws and heads for that matter are developing smaller than they’re suppose to. Which causes the crowding of teeth. Now the next question is. Why is it our jaws and heads are smaller than what they’re suppose to be. That I would like to point out a couple things. 1 anthropologists know when agriculture is being introduced to an area by simply looking at their teeth. There are other things as well, but that is a clear indicator. 2 no species of human has this over crowding, or at least safe to say not near the level of crowding when their diet is mostly meat. Inuits (actually full practicing Inuits, not Inuits that moved to anchorage) do not have this issue. Neither do other carnivorous practicing people. You don’t have to take my word for it. Look up the workings of Weston A Price.
Edit: I would like to add. The cause is malnutrition. Your future kids can mostly avoid dental work by eating nutrient dense and extremely bioavailable ruminant meats. Like we ate before.
