On average kids have 20 teeth and adults have 32 teeth in their mouths, but when you don’t have enough space teeth begin to crowd.

Crowding of the teeth is one of the most common orthodontic problems. Dental crowding occurs when there is not enough space to fit teeth
within the jaws. There are other factors that can contribute, but this problem
typically stems from a discrepancy between the space in each jaw and the size
of teeth.
When crowding occurs teeth may be overlapping and displaced,
which can cause a number of functional and cosmetic issues.

Depending on the severity of the crowding determines which
treatment option is best for you. Some cases call for extractions or surgery,
but the most common treatment for crowding is braces.
