Understanding Teeth Shifting
Teeth shifting occurs when your teeth move out of their original positions, leading to misalignment, gaps, or overcrowding. This can happen for various reasons, including natural aging, the loss of teeth, or periodontal disease weakening the support structures of the teeth. At South Gate Dental Clinic, we understand the impact of teeth shifting on both your oral health and self-confidence. We're dedicated to providing effective orthodontic solutions to realign your teeth and stabilize your smile.
Causes of Teeth Shifting
- Natural Aging Process: Over time, teeth can drift towards the front of the mouth, leading to crowding or overlapping.
- Periodontal Disease: Gum disease can weaken the supporting tissues of the teeth, making them more prone to shifting.
- Tooth Loss: Missing teeth create space, allowing surrounding teeth to move and shift into the gaps.
- Poor Oral Habits: Habits like teeth grinding (bruxism) can exert pressure on teeth, causing them to shift.
Our Teeth Shifting Treatment Options
- Orthodontic Appliances: Braces or clear aligners can effectively correct misalignment and close gaps, providing a stable and aligned smile.
- Retainers: After orthodontic treatment, retainers are essential for maintaining alignment and preventing further shifting.
