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

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.

Some have speculated that smaller faces (relative to the same sized head) are due to sexual selection; humans like a small face. Small-face folks have more offspring, etc. Improved diets mean that there is not a big price to pay for having a smaller face, other than your teeth won’t fit, but modern dentistry and braces address this too.
