Front teeth can shift forward for several reasons:
1. **Crowding**: If there isn't enough space in the jaw, teeth may shift forward to make room.
2. **Misalignment**: Issues with the bite or jaw alignment can cause the front teeth to protrude.
3. **Habitual Behavior**: Thumb sucking or tongue thrusting can push front teeth forward.
4. **Tooth Loss**: Loss of back teeth can lead to shifting of front teeth to fill the space.
5. **Periodontal Issues**: Gum disease can lead to bone loss, which might cause teeth to become loose and move.
6. **Genetics**: Some individuals may have a genetic predisposition for teeth alignment issues.
Orthodontic evaluation can help determine the specific cause and appropriate treatment.
