Why are people born with crooked teeth?

It depends on a lot of factors.


Some of them would be genetics, jaw size, sequence in which primary (baby) teeth are lost, amount of teeth, and the shape/size of teeth.





When adult teeth are formed and push their way up, the roots of the primary teeth over it are resorbed (dissolved) which makes the baby tooth loose. baby teeth are like natural braces. The roots guide the adult teeth into their correct positions. Sometimes, baby teeth that aren't supposed to come out at that time come out, or the tooth above it comes down in a strange position. This can cause crooked teeth.





Genetics have a strong tie to how large your jaw is, how many teeth you form, and the shape/size of the teeth. Advances in dentistry and other medical fields make these problems fixable. The whole "survival of the fittest" factor has been eliminated due to these advances, because if you can afford to fix it, you can survive.





In my case, my teeth look nothing like my parent's teeth. I did get my dad's strong enamel, which I'm thankful for. However, I have an excess of gums which will be taken care of through a gingivectomy that my sister, mom, and dad never had. So it doesn't necessarily have everything to do with genes.

Reply:No human is born with teeth ... they start to come in at around 8 to 10 months ... if they're cooked, they are a lot of influencing factors including genetics, arch width and size of the teeth themselves. Who knows for sure? That's why orthodontics is such a huge business!
