1. Affects oral health: crowded and uneven dentition makes the teeth unable to self-clean, plaque and calculus accumulate, causing caries and gingival and periodontal inflammation; at the same time, tooth dislocation and abnormal occlusion can also cause periodontal damage; dentition Sparse is prone to food impaction and damage to the health of the gums and periodontal.
2. Affecting appearance: All kinds of malocclusions affect appearance to varying degrees, which is also the direct reason why many patients require correction. Such as open lips and teeth, bimaxillary protrusion, long or short face deformities, etc.
3. Affects maxillofacial development: During the growth and development of children, many dentofacial deformities caused by bad habits will affect the normal development of the soft and hard tissues of the dentofacial area, such as anterior crossbite, which means that the lower anterior teeth are located in the upper anterior teeth. The deformity of the labial side will limit the development of the maxilla, while the mandible will develop excessively forward due to the lack of normal coordination, resulting in a depression in the middle of the face and an excessive protrusion of the mandible. Therefore, for the anterior crossbite that affects the development of the upper and lower jaw, it should be corrected as soon as possible to avoid further aggravation of the jaw deformity.
4. Affects oral function: Severe malocclusion can affect the normal function of the oral cavity, such as anterior teeth opening (that is, the upper and lower anterior teeth cannot be occluded) resulting in abnormal pronunciation, posterior teeth locking and jaw affecting chewing function, and severe mandibular protrusion can cause swallowing. Abnormal, severe mandibular retraction affects respiratory function.
5. Affecting mental health: uneven teeth seriously affect the growth and development of children and psychological disorders. The data show that among adolescents with malocclusion and deformity, the incidence of psychological disorders is increased. I don’t like talking, I don’t have confidence.
