I don't have the link handy, but I watched an interesting video from an orthodontist describing the root cause of most crooked teeth being due to poor diet (partially from insufficient nutrients, but also not enough hard-to-chew foods to build jaw strength), and poor posture, which causes everything else to grow in the wrong directions and proportions over the course of years.
I am unqualified to comment on the validity of these ideas, but it certainly seems likely that these kinds of subtle, year-after-year health issues would get overlooked by the scientific and medical community, compared with a lucrative fix after the fact.

We're mixing genes that haven't mixed every, and we can get small jaws and big, prominent teeth that inevitably are crooked. Often some have to be pulled to make room for the rest. No way is that caused by diet.
