Question:
Is there an explanation as to why kid's teeth grow in crooked after they lose their baby teeth?
Is it genetic or is there any other explanation that explain why their teeth grow in crooked besides "they just do"?
Answers:
Baby teeth serve as space maintainers. If lost prematurely, the rest of the teeth will drift and the space will close up, and the permanent tooth might come in crooked because there is insufficient space.
That is the reason why it's important to ensure a child's baby teeth are healthy all the way until they are about to be shed.
Hope this helps.
