Heredity plays a fundamental role in the appearance of dental alterations. Inheritance includes crooked, crowded teeth, too much space between teeth, missing or extra teeth, and a long list of jaw, dental or facial irregularities.
The non-hereditary ones can be a consequence of multiple factors:
– a trauma (accident),
– sucking thumb, fingers or pacifier,
– breathing through the mouth,
– respiratory obstruction due to tonsils or polyps,
– dental disease or premature loss of baby or permanent teeth.
Whether hereditary or acquired, some of these problems affect not only tooth alignment but also facial development and appearance.
All non-hereditary causes should be checked early controlled at an early stage to avoid its dental consequences. Early diagnosis is essential for dental correction, simplifying treatment for the child.
