WHAT CAUSES CROOKED TEETH? Malocclusion, the technical term for

a misaligned bite or crooked teeth, can be either inherited or acquired.

The most common inherited prob- lems are caused when jaw size is in- appropriate for the room requirement of the teeth. If the jaw is too small, the teeth will be crowded; they'll grow in crooked as they compete for space and may overlap or protrude as a result. On the other hand, if the jaw is too large, the spaces between the teeth may be wide enough to allow them to tip and be misaligned.

Acquired malocclusions are usually the result of bad habit, such as: thumb-

sucking, lip-biting, and tongue-thrusting. It can also result from mouth injuries, tooth decay, or gum disease - any of which can cause loss of primary or per- manent teeth, opening spaces on the jaw that can lead to tipped, misaligned teeth.

Whatever the cause, malocclusion can be corrected through orthodontic treatment which will improve the patient's appearance and also make it easier to clean and care for all the teeth.

Presented as a public service to pro- mote better dental health. From the of- fice o/JOHN B. MYRES, D.D.S., 700 S. McCarty, Eagle Lake, 234-3525.
