Many oral health risks can arise from poor oral structure. When your teeth don’t align harmoniously, it can cause clenching and grinding (bruxism), excessive wear on teeth, jaw soreness, and even loss of teeth. Causes of these results include, gapped teeth, overbites, underbites, overly crowded bites, openbites, and crossbites.
What Poor Oral Structure Can Lead To
Gaps between teeth can occur by the jawbone abnormally continuing to grow. Extra space in the mouth can also cause teeth to shift into the empty space. Gaped teeth can cause gum problems such as periodontal pockets and increased risk of periodontal disease due to the lack of protection by the teeth. Overbites are typically a result of genetics, bad oral habits, or overdevelopment of bone that supports the teeth. Overbites can cause gum problems, wear on the lower teeth, and painful jaw and joint problems. Underbites occurs as a result of undergrowth of the upper jaw, overgrowth of the lower jaw, or missing upper teeth. Underbites can cause excessive tooth wear, and jaw and joint problems. Abnormal jaw structure or thumb sucking often causes open bites. An open bite can cause poor or painful chewing, speech impairment, and thermo-mandibular joint disorder (TMJ). Overly crowded bites occur when there is a lack of room in your jaw to accommodate all of your teeth. Crowded bites can cause plaque accumulation, tooth decay, and increased risk of gum disease. Crossbites occur when both jaws are misaligned. Crossbites can cause excessive wear of teeth, gum disease, and bone loss.
