How do some people have perfectly straight teeth naturally and others don't?

Question

When I asked my friend if he ever had braces, he said no. But his teeth are perfectly straight! Is it because of what you eat when your teeth is growing? Oranges? Vitamin C? Milk?

Answer 1

I am the same as your friend as in people ask me all the time if I every wore braces but I never have and I have really straight teeth. I didn't do anything to get them that way and my first visit to the dentist Like a year ago and now I'm 13 so I guess its in my genetics but It's weird because my sister has like buck teeth so I guess you just have to be lucky!!

Answer 2

Genetics, diet, luck?

Answer 3

i know i hate it. i had to have braces for 3 years. im pretty sure that eating oranges, vitamin c, etc. wouldnt have an affect on how your teeth end up being placed. i think alot of it is genetics. like what runs in my family, a large gap between the front teeth.  

Answer 4

OMG thats exactly what I want to know!!!!

Both my parents have perfectly straight teeth (no orthodontics at all!) but me, my two sisters and brother have all had orthodontic work!

Me: I just got braces a month ago

Ana: Braces, retainer, expander

Sylvia: Expander and is getting braces

Troy: Braces

Its sooooo weird!!! Both my parents are like your friend!!! There teeth are so straigh!!! And me and my siblings teeth were/are all really weird!!!

Now this is a question that I also want answered!!!
