In most cases crooked teeth are inherited. For example, if a patient inherits large teeth from one parent and a small jaw from the other, a crowding problem will result. Additionally, habits such as thumb sucking and tongue thrusting can cause malocclusion. Accidents which cause damage to the jaw while the teeth are developing also can lead to crooked teeth.
