Malocclusion consequences - Lapointe dental centres

Описание: Orthodontics has existed for a few years. Sometimes combined with surgery, this science can help correct a bad alignment of the teeth from the smallest to the most extensive. Everyone knows the aesthetic benefits of orthodontics, but very few people know the consequences of malocclusion. Malocclusion is often synonymous with overlapping teeth and lack of space. These imperfections bring about a much more complex buccal hygiene. The closer the teeth are, the harder it is to keep them clean. Problematic hygiene increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. These two consequences may, in certain cases, cause mobility of the teeth and may even lead to the loss of some of them. Other facts may be observed, such as an uncomfortable closing of the jaws. This often brings about exaggerated wear, particularly on the teeth that come into strong contact with each other. We can sometimes notice patients having creaking jaws, migraines, bad posture and even back pain that disappear after a realignment of the teeth. Because of their malocclusion, certain patients will develop the habit of breathing through their mouth. This promotes a multiplication of bacteria in the mouth, by the same token increasing the risk of gum infection; as a result, snoring may even occur. The profile of the face can also be affected: circles under the eyes and a receding chin are often noted. Many other consequences are brought about by malocclusion. It’s important to get all the information available so that you know about the benefits that an orthodontic treatment can offer you.
