Overview
Tooth Migration: Understanding Causes and Treatment in Kerala
Understanding Tooth Migration:
Tooth migration refers to the gradual movement of teeth from their original positions. This can result in misalignment, affecting both the appearance and functionality of the smile.
Common Causes of Tooth Migration:
Periodontal Disease:
Gum infections and untreated periodontal conditions can weaken the supporting structures, leading to tooth movement.
Missing Teeth:
Gaps from missing teeth create spaces that neighboring teeth may drift into, causing migration.
Jaw Changes:
Alterations in jaw structure due to aging or other factors can contribute to tooth migration.
Visible Signs and Impact:
Crooked Appearance:
Teeth may become visibly misaligned or overlap due to migration.
Bite Irregularities:
Changes in tooth alignment can impact the bite, leading to discomfort or difficulty in chewing food as gaps between teeth would tend to cause food impaction over a period of time.
Increased Sensitivity:
Misaligned teeth may become more sensitive to hot or cold stimuli.
Treatment Options:
Orthodontic Intervention:
Braces or clear aligners can guide teeth back into their proper positions.
Dental Crowns or Bridges:
Restoration of missing teeth prevents adjacent teeth from migrating.
Periodontal Treatment:
Addressing gum disease and maintaining gum health can stabilize teeth.
Retainers:
Following orthodontic treatment, retainers help maintain the corrected alignment.
