Understanding Shifting Teeth
Shifting teeth occur when teeth gradually move out of their original positions, which can lead to misalignment, bite issues, and aesthetic concerns. Various factors, including age, periodontal disease, and the natural pressure from biting and chewing, can contribute to this movement. South Gate Dental Clinic specializes in diagnosing the underlying causes of shifting teeth and implementing effective treatments to halt further movement and realign the teeth.
Causes of Shifting Teeth
- Periodontal Disease: Gum disease can weaken the support structures of the teeth, making them more prone to shifting.
- Loss of Teeth: Missing teeth can cause adjacent teeth to shift into the empty spaces, affecting the alignment.
- Pressure from Habits: Habits like teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism) exert extra pressure on teeth, leading to shifting.
- Aging: Natural changes in the mouth's structure over time can lead to teeth gradually moving.
Our Shifting Teeth Treatment Options
- Orthodontic Solutions: Braces and clear aligners effectively correct misalignments and stabilize the teeth in their proper positions.
- Periodontal Therapy: Treating and managing gum disease to strengthen the gums and prevent further shifting.
- Dental Implants or Bridges: Replacing missing teeth to fill gaps and prevent adjacent teeth from moving.
- Retainers and Night Guards: Custom devices that help maintain alignment and protect against pressure from grinding or clenching.
