Malocclusion / Bad bites is one of the most common problems. Malocclusion means the teeth are not aligned properly. This can lead to oral health complications if left untreated. Your teeth might not perform vital functions well, chewing, if they're misaligned.

Features:

Typically, your teeth should fit easily inside your mouth without any crowding or spacing concerns. Also, your teeth shouldn't be severely twisted or rotated. Your upper teeth should slightly overlap with your lower jaw teeth so that the pointed ridges of your upper molars fit into the grooves of your opposite molars. Changes in these alignment is known as malocclusion. The types of changes vary, but any type of misalignment is important to address as proper alignment of your teeth will prevent you from biting your cheeks and lips.

Having malocclusion, can affect everything from your dental health to your mental health. Left untreated, malocclusion increases the chance you'll develop cavities or gum disease. People with malocclusion often struggle with self- esteem and social anxiety. Fortunately, its never too late for treatment. For further queries please contact doctors at Magnum Smiles Dental Care.
