It is often said that teeth should be paid special attention during childhood as it will be more difficult to correct them by the time of adults when all the teeth have grown and developed well but are not in alignment.

What are the harmful effects of crowded teeth?

Professional Dentists at Shenzhen A.K.J Stomatological Hospital remind us that severe crowded teeth will bring many problems and harms to life and work and orthodontic treatment timely is a better choice in case of worse teeth deformity.

Ⅰ. Interfere with chewing functions

To some extent, crowded teeth will impact the occlusal relationships of upper and lower jaws and then reduce chewing efficiency, which may cause indigestion and gastrointestinal disorders in the long run. Moreover, the crowded teeth will lead to the imbalanced teeth chewing force. There are some upper and lower corresponding teeth cannot touch each other, but some of them overexert when they touch, which will cause severe damages.

Ⅱ. Vulnerable to teeth diseases

It will be difficult to keep the oral hygiene if the teeth are crowded and the teeth are irregular as the teeth cannot be brushed cleanly and the tartar is often deposited in the teeth slits. It will create an ideal place for bacteria to breed and it’s easy to get dental caries and gum inflammation. For some teeth with malocclusion, there are some of the teeth are often under abnormal stress while chewing, which will make the periodontal support tissue, periodontal membrane and alveolar bone in a state of overexerted impact force and then cause periodontal tissue disease.

Ⅲ. Impede teeth cleaning

All teeth have self-cleaning functions when we are eating. It will utilize the friction between the food and the teeth surface to get rid of the dirt on the surface of the teeth. However, for the irregular teeth, it is not easy to clean the food residue thoroughly while brushing and flossing and therefore this makes it easier to form soft debris, plaque and dental calculus and then bring diseases to the teeth.

Ⅳ. Inhibit facial development

Some irregular teeth will inhibit the normal development of the upper and lower jaw. For example, anterior underbite, the lower anterior teeth cover the upper anterior teeth so that the lower dental arch will inhibit the forward development of the upper anterior teeth and will also affect the upper jaw bone and make the lower jaw bone develop forward excessively. Eventually, the facial central depression deformity will come into being.
