Dr. Schwartz Answers Questions About Orthodontic Problems
 |
"Dr. Schwartz, what causes orthodontic problems?"
|
| |
Most orthodontic problems are inherited, including tooth size and jaw size, and may lead to crowding of teeth or spacing of teeth. Overbites, underbites,
extra or missing teeth, and irregularities of the jaws, teeth, and
face also are inherited. Other orthodontic problems can be caused
from accidents, pacifier or thumb sucking, dental disease, or the
premature loss of either the primary or permanent teeth.
|
|
|
"What habits contribute to
"bad bites? " |
| |
A number of
childhood habits can lead to orthodontic problems, such as thumb or
finger sucking, sucking on a pacifier, sucking on a lip, mouth
breathing (often caused by enlarged tonsils and adenoids),
fingernail biting, and "tongue thrust".
