Body Facts

Did you know that your teeth move around in your mouth? From birth to death, it is a constant migration, a slow dance of the canines, molars and other guests. They are very discreet about it but any good orthodontist will let you in on the secret. There is a constant hustle and bustle, push and pull where the teeth in front push the ones in the back and the ones on top push out the ones on the bottom, each adjusting, trying to make its place in the sun.
Now look at older folks with their natural teeth and you'll see I am not joking. They weren't born with that gaping hole or with that errand tooth. They just parted ways over the years.
