Common conclusions

Wisdom teeth can usually cause teeth crowding or displacing of some tooth due to the lack of place. The jaw can be not large enough to hold all the teeth in a straight row. Instead of being completely knocked out of the row, a tooth moves forward, backward, to the side or rotates. This situation can be solved with the help of braces or in some slight cases with dental crowns. Schedule a visit to your dentist for further examination.

Having a constant unfilled gap in your teeth row may in a long run lead to a tooth displacement along with some bone area towards the defect. It can move upwards, downwards or lean to the sides. Such a condition can be solved with braces or dental crown bridges. In case of damaged teeth, they should be treated and restored with dental crowns if possible or removed if not. However, you may also need dental implants or partial removable denture to restore missing teeth. Schedule a visit to your dentist for further examination.

That is a common situation when wisdom teeth grow in the wrong direction. Such situation occurs due to their late eruption when other teeth took up their places and simply lack of free room for them in a teeth row. That is why you can feel uncomfortable while chewing. Moreover, you may also face your cheeks biting. Rather often such teeth are being removed to reduce stress in your teeth rows and make you feel more comfortable. Schedule a visit to your dentist for further examination.

It seems you faced some odd teeth or your permanent ones late eruption. Such situation happens in case one or several baby teeth stayed with you until middle age and kept the place in a teeth row so a permanent tooth simply had no free room to come out. In case of extra teeth eruption, that is abnormal teeth number development. If such tooth makes you feel uncomfortable, you can ask your dentist to remove it. You may also need a panoramic X-Ray or 3D tomography to see your other teeth placing. Schedule a visit to your dentist for more information.

Based on your answers, it is difficult to determine the reason of your teeth displacement and find a suitable solution. Schedule a visit to your dentist for more information and examination.
