Why can canine teeth grow incorrectly?
Canines are just one type of tooth. Some people never grow some teeth, which can be an inherited condition. Others have problems with the size, number or alignment of some or all of their teeth. The reasons for this can result from a mismatch in the size and shape of teeth, the soft tissues and underlying jaws – or it might be the result of early loss (or removal) of ‘baby’ (deciduous) teeth. Sometime people are just unlucky.
