Description

Marta Milona and co-authors report a 2025 study of crooked teeth and bite problems in Polish teenagers. The team examined 738 children aged 12 to 13 in the West Pomeranian region. Parents answered written questions about birth, feeding, and family background, and dental specialists checked each child's teeth and bite.

The most common problems were a recessed lower jaw pattern, deep bite, and crowding, each found in about one fifth of the children. Children of parents with more education, and those who saw a dentist more often, were less likely to have a bad bite. Birth and feeding factors showed no clear link. The results help planners fund prevention and treatment for young teens.
