3 Ways to Fix Small Teeth

When looking through old photos with friends, you noticed something: your smile looks a lot shorter than theirs. This is called microdontia, a condition that causes one or more of a person’s teeth to develop or appear to be smaller than average. Though having small teeth can be hereditary, it may also be a symptom of a genetic disorder, a developmental issue like cleft palate, or the side-effect of being exposed to radiation. Having short teeth can also be caused by excessive wear due to teeth grinding or damage. Fortunately, there are ways that your dentist can fix small teeth. Read on to learn about a few common causes of microdontia and how to make your teeth look bigger.
