Crooked Teeth
What are Crooked Teeth?
Crooked teeth are teeth that are misaligned, overlapping, twisted, or spaced irregularly. These alignment issues can affect both the appearance of your smile and your oral health. They may be caused by genetics, jaw size discrepancies, childhood habits, or injuries. Crooked teeth can make it harder to clean your teeth thoroughly, increasing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and uneven wear. Over time, misalignment can also lead to jaw pain or difficulty chewing, affecting your overall comfort.
At Alina Dental Clinic, we provide tailored orthodontic solutions to help straighten crooked teeth, improving both aesthetics and functionality for a healthier, more confident smile.

Jaw pain can result from various issues, including TMJ disorders, teeth grinding, dental problems, injury, or stress. Identifying the cause is key to effective treatment and lasting relief.

Inherited traits like jaw size or dental structure misalignments

Thumb-sucking, pacifier use, or tongue thrusting during early years
