There\u2019s got to be a reason they\u2019re suddenly moving around — and actually, your front tooth crowding can be caused by your wisdom teeth. These third molars erupt between ages 15 and 24 and often put pressure on the surrounding teeth, making them move around when you least expect it. Your <\/span>oral surgeon<\/span><\/a> in Houston recommends the extraction of problematic wisdom teeth.<\/span>\n\n\n

What Causes Tooth Crowding<\/span><\/h2>\nHow can the <\/span>wisdom teeth<\/span><\/a> affect the teeth in the front of your smile? By creating something of a domino effect in the mouth. When there is not enough room for the third molars to erupt without issue — and there rarely is — these teeth are likely to come in crooked or at an angle. They then put consistent force on surrounding teeth. Even the teeth in the front of the mouth may be affected by the excess pressure. <\/span>\n

Signs of an Impacted Wisdom Tooth<\/span><\/h2>\nWhether it\u2019s a lone wisdom tooth or all four that are present beneath the gum line, the third molars can cause serious issues in an otherwise healthy mouth. Impaction, or the partial eruption of the tooth, may cause infection, tooth crowding, and severe pain. An impacted wisdom tooth should be removed as soon as possible to protect the rest of your smile. <\/span>\n\nHow can you tell if you have one or more problematic wisdom teeth? There are some warning signs to look out for. <\/span>\n
