The moral purpose of teeth is to grind/chew food but they also play vital role in magnifying your appearance. It is important to keep your teeth healthy as the healthier your teeth will look, the happier you will look.

There are few reasons due to which people have crooked teeth, some of the people have it because of gene, accidents and mouth tumours and further reasons are elaborated below.
1. Genetics
Sometimes the misalignment of the teeth is due to genetic inheritance. If the one or both of the parents have crooked teeth then there is possibility that the offspring / child can inherit it and can have crooked teeth from birth. To treat this parent can do nothing but put braces to align the crooked teeth of the child.
2. Prolonged sucking
Thumb sucking or over three years has remained the main cause of crooked teeth. Child who suck their thumbs for years more than three cause their front teeth to protrude as thumb sucking or milk bottle sucking effects the roof of the mouth. Thumb sucking has been bad for dental health as it can result in crooked teeth and also influence the shape of the mouth.
