When most people think about crooked teeth, they usually picture how it affects their smile’s appearance. But at Park Ridge Dental Care, we often see patients who are surprised to discover that misaligned teeth can also impact their oral health and overall wellbeing.

The good news? Thanks to modern dental technology, there are effective and discreet ways to straighten your smile. At Park Ridge Dental Care, we’re proud to offer Invisalign clear aligners, helping patients across the Logan area achieve a healthier, more confident smile.

Why Do Teeth Become Crooked?

Crooked or misaligned teeth are very common and can happen for several reasons, including:

• Genetics: If your parents had alignment issues, you might inherit similar patterns.
• Early tooth loss: Missing baby or adult teeth can leave gaps that cause other teeth to shift.
• Childhood habits: Prolonged dummy use or thumb-sucking can influence how teeth and jaws develop.
• Bite and jaw size: A mismatch between your teeth and jaw can lead to crowding, spacing, or bite issues.

More Than Just a Cosmetic Concern

While a misaligned smile can make you feel self-conscious, it can also create challenges for your oral health:

• Oral hygiene difficulties: Crowded teeth are harder to clean, increasing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
• Jaw pain and uneven wear: Poor alignment can strain your jaw muscles and cause certain teeth to wear down faster.
• Reduced confidence: Many patients feel less comfortable in social or professional settings.
