Each tooth in your mouth has a specific function it provides. The incisors which cut food are important in protecting the molars and for correct and clear speech. The cuspids, also referred to as canine teeth, are for tearing food, as well as balancing the bite and offering protection for the molars. Bicuspids and molars are for the grinding of food and jaw stabilization.
The function of the mouth is compromised when a misaligned or crooked tooth is not completing their role. If one tooth is not functioning properly, the rest of your teeth will react to compensate. Harmful and unnatural stresses and force are in turn created on the other teeth and the jaw.
Crowded and malaligned teeth are especially difficult for a Queen Creek orthodontist to clean, reducing good oral health, increasing the possibility of gingivitis, or a more serious condition known as periodontitis. Mal-aligned teeth may also contribute to serious health issues, along with creating problems in speech and eating, particularly in children. are also contributors to eating and speaking problems, especially in children.
