Teeth that are crowded or too close together may make it difficult even for dental professionals to properly clean them. The buildup of plaque on teeth can cause abnormal enamel wear, cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease. Gum disease is one of the leading factors in the development of periodontitis, and patients with crowded teeth have a high risk of developing this disease.
If you have this, you should consider getting braces.
When you bite down, your teeth should fit together. If there is a large space between your upper and lower teeth, or if your upper or lower teeth protrude significantly past the others, you may have bite problems that need to be corrected with braces.
Upper teeth that extend past the lower teeth when you bite down covering more than half of their visible surface result in an overbite.
Lower teeth that extend past the upper teeth when you bite down result in an underbite.
