Crooked Teeth Definition, Reason, Symptoms, Treatment & Prevention
Understanding
Crooked teeth (deliberation) are deformities in the teeth in which curved teeth form a curve or angle at the crown or root of the tooth. This disorder occurs due to interference during the process of tooth formation. Dilacerations can be found on baby teeth or permanent teeth which are usually found on the back teeth of the upper jaw.
Symptom
Symptoms of crooked teeth (deliberation) that can be found are in the form of arches that can form anywhere along the length of the teeth. This condition can occur at the neck of the tooth, the center of the root, at the junction of the crown and root, or only at the root tip.
Reason
This disorder can be caused by trauma and interference during the formation of teeth. Usually, trauma occurs in primary teeth which causes the teeth to be pushed and pushed into the bone.
The primary tooth that was pushed earlier can hit the permanent tooth seed underneath. This trauma causes the direction of growth of permanent teeth to change so that curved teeth are formed.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of crooked teeth (lacerations) can be done through radiographic examination. Based on this examination, the extraction process and root canal treatment will be determined for the tooth that has been dislocated.
Through this examination, it can be seen that there are abnormalities in the periodontal tissue around the roots of the teeth. On radiographic or X-ray examination, this condition is sometimes difficult to see. But the diagnosis can be made by taking photos from different angles.
Treatment
Sometimes a tooth that has been lacerated can have difficulty growing into a normal position in the oral cavity. Therefore crooked teeth must be removed. Unfortunately, treatment for crooked teeth (lacerations) is sometimes difficult. In some cases of dissection, the extraction procedure cannot even be done.
