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 cause discomfort in the jaw, face, neck, or head. You may experience pain while chewing, talking, or yawning. Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw joint and difficulty opening or closing the mouth are also common.
TMJ disorders are often caused by jaw misalignment, injury, teeth grinding, or stress. These conditions lead to inflammation and dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects the jaw to the skull.
Teeth grinding (bruxism) puts excessive pressure on the jaw joint and muscles, leading to soreness, tension, and pain. This often occurs during sleep due to stress, anxiety, or misaligned teeth.
Yes, jaw pain can interfere with sleep. Discomfort from TMJ disorders or teeth grinding may cause difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, leading to fatigue and other health problems.

If you experience persistent jaw pain, difficulty moving your jaw, or recurring headaches, it’s important to consult a dentist. Early treatment can prevent further damage and alleviate discomfort.

Yes, stress can lead to jaw pain by causing muscle tension and jaw clenching. This can worsen existing jaw issues and contribute to TMJ disorders or teeth grinding.

Yes, an injury to the jaw, such as a blow to the face or whiplash, can cause jaw pain and misalignment, leading to discomfort and difficulty moving the jaw.

Jaw pain is typically diagnosed through a detailed examination by a dentist or a TMJ specialist. X-rays, CT scans, or MRI may also be used to assess the jaw joint and detect underlying issues.
