What are crooked teeth?
Crooked teeth can take many forms. Generally speaking, teeth that aren't uniformly arranged in the jaw are referred to as crooked. Tipped or rotated teeth, or teeth that have grown in the wrong position, also fall into the category of “crooked teeth”.
Types of crooked teeth
Tipped teeth
