Although many people assume misaligned teeth are purely genetic, several additional factors contribute to orthodontic irregularities. For instance, childhood habits such as thumb sucking, prolonged use of pacifiers, or incorrect swallowing patterns gradually shift teeth from their natural positions. Furthermore, uneven jaw development, early loss of primary teeth, or overcrowding may also influence alignment and bite relations. Additionally, trauma or injury to the jaw can disrupt natural tooth placement, eventually leading to shifting or spacing issues. Because these conditions progress slowly, many individuals remain unaware until they notice functional or aesthetic changes. Therefore, timely evaluation becomes essential to determine the most suitable corrective approach.
