About MALOCCLUSION
Correcting Malocclusion for Improved Oral Health.
Malocclusion, a misalignment of teeth, can stem from inherited factors or behavioral habits like thumb sucking. Left untreated, it can lead to speech difficulties, chewing problems, and increased risk of decay. Orthodontic treatment is vital to correct malocclusion, restoring proper dental alignment and function. Recognizing the need for treatment involves assessing if malocclusion affects confidence or causes difficulties with chewing or hygiene. Addressing malocclusion not only improves oral health but also enhances self-esteem and overall well-being.

Malocclusion refers to a misalignment of teeth or an incorrect relationship between the teeth of the upper (maxilla) and lower (mandible) dental arches.
What Causes Malocclusion?
Malocclusion can be inherited or result from behavioral habits like thumb sucking or tongue thrusting. Left uncorrected, these issues can lead to abnormal tooth and jaw development.
