If your baby’s teeth are coming in crooked, there’s usually no need to fret. Baby teeth can come in crooked for a variety of reasons. The most common reason is genetics.
As a child’s mouth develops, their jaw grows. This growth changes the formation of their teeth and gums. Oftentimes, the baby teeth will straighten out on their own as the jaw expands.
If your child’s teeth don’t straighten, that’s okay. It’s not uncommon for permanent teeth to come in straight even if the baby teeth were crooked.
If you are concerned about your baby’s crooked teeth, talk to their pediatric dentist.
