Received Date: Jul 01, 2024 / Published Date: Jul 30, 2024
Abstract
Dental malocclusion refers to the misalignment or incorrect relationship between the teeth of the upper and lower dental arches when the jaws are closed. This condition can lead to various oral health issues, including increased risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Severe malocclusions often necessitate orthodontic intervention, and in some cases, surgical correction. This paper explores the etiology and classification of dental malocclusion, detailing the various therapeutic options available, including braces, aligners, and surgical procedures. Emphasis is placed on the benefits of correcting malocclusion, such as improved dental hygiene, reduced pressure on the TMJ, and enhanced overall oral health. The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how addressing malocclusion can lead to significant health improvements and offer guidance on selecting appropriate treatment strategies for different levels of severity.
