Oddly shaped or disproportionate teeth can be a sore point for many people. Thankfully with modern dentistry techniques there are ways in which to resize and reshape teeth for the desired look. There are some common reasons for poorly shaped and sized teeth.
Genetics
Unfortunately, this is not something that cannot be prevented. Genetics play a big part in oral health and can be the cause of many problems.
Diet
A poor diet of sugary drinks and junk food can cause major damage to teeth over time. This can cause teeth to end up shorter and poorly shaped.
Grinding
Quite often patients with sleep apnoea or stress, among other things, find that they grind their teeth during sleep. This can cause teeth to be worn down and ultimately facture or chip.
Dental Accident
The shape and size of teeth can be badly affected by a dental accident.
Porcelain veneers are the best option for reshaping teeth. This is an ultra-thin porcelain laminate that bonds to your teeth creating the perfect size and shape.
