Crooked Teeth Problems
- Tooth Decay / Cavities
- Crooked teeth are much more difficult to clean than straight teeth, as crooked teeth will create hard to reach spaces, overlapping teeth, gaps, crevices, and harder to reach spaces that will allow bacteria a place to hide and grow. This bacteria will advance to plaque, and will ultimately advance to tooth decay and cavities, with the result being tooth loss.
