Why should I treat a malocclusion if I have lived normally with crooked teeth for many years?

Many patients mistakenly believe that malocclusion is just crooked teeth. In cases where incorrectly positioned teeth do not bring psychological discomfort, do not violate diction and do not entail disruption of the entire dentoalveolar apparatus, such a statement is justified.

However, if a malocclusion and misalignment of the jaws are dangerous, an orthodontist will strongly recommend treatment.

Incorrect bite often leads to an aesthetic imbalance – a violation of the shape of the face (extended or retracted jaw, sunken cheeks, etc.) and facial expressions, which can cause low self-esteem and emotional stress.

In addition, the problem with bite can manifest itself in frequent headaches, disruption of the gastrointestinal tract and teeth rubbing during sleep after 35 years.

Timely occlusion correction will stop and eliminate the existing complications that have arisen over the years of progression of dentoalveolar anomalies.
