Cerebral Palsy Question (only serious answers please!)?!
Question: Why do people with Cerebral Palsy usually have off set teeth? This is an honest question and I'm really curious anatomically why this is common. Thanks!
If you're going to be mean don't even bother!

My daughter is a spastic quadiplegic CP. She too has teeth that don't have a proper bite. This is due to how the CP has affected the muscles in her face/jaw.
In my child's case, the tendons don't stretch properly, causing strain and stress in the jaw, which in turn will affect how the teeth come in and align.
I don't know why in the world someone would be mean about a question like this. I guess it takes all kinds!
Not all children with CP are affected in the face. It totally depends on which part or parts of the brain are damaged.
