Question
What causes misaligned baby teeth?
Answer
If the front teeth in a baby’s milk teeth are misaligned, it may be due to individual teeth being reversed inside, which can manifest as an underbite. This condition requires treatment. Additionally, some children may have bad habits, such as biting their fingers or lips, which can also lead to a few teeth being crooked. In such cases, the first step is to change the child’s bad habits, then gradually adjust, and the teeth will naturally grow into the correct position. Moreover, other poor oral habits may also cause milk teeth to become crooked. Therefore, if the baby teeth are crooked and the situation is severe, it is essential to visit a hospital to determine whether further treatment is needed.
