Ignoring crooked or misaligned teeth can have various effects on an individual’s life ranging from confidence issues with appearance, health concerns and functional use.

Health concerns surrounding teeth that are crooked and crowded include difficulties in keeping the mouth clean compared to straight teeth which allow easy access for toothbrush bristles to clean affected areas. Crooked and crowded teeth, therefore, have an increased chance of tooth loss through decay and Gum Disease.

The functionality of misaligned teeth can further affect the positioning of the jaw and contribute to the development of TMD (temporomandibular dysfunction) which can affect the way an individual speaks and chews. Requirements to treat this problem involve both orthodontic and orthopaedic treatment.
