Treatment not only improves the appearance of the teeth, but it can also improve chewing and speech performance and, in some situations, help preserve teeth from damage or decay.

Malocclusion can occur if the jaws and teeth do not develop properly. Teeth that are crooked and misaligned, as well as the bottom and top sets of teeth, may not line up. Malocclusion is not a disease, and it has no physical consequences. It’s a change in the location of the teeth. However, it may have an embarrassing effect on the shape of the face and the appearance of the teeth, a lack of self-confidence, and even depression.

Before any orthodontic work can begin, it is necessary to maintain good oral hygiene. Food particles are more prone to become lodged when devices are placed on the teeth. During therapy, the person will need to brush considerably more carefully and frequently to avoid tooth decay.

There is a danger of tooth decay during therapy if you do not practice appropriate oral hygiene. The orthodontist may also advise you to avoid sugary drinks, snacks, and other foods that can cause tooth decay.
