THE MALOCCLUSION
Malocclusion: what is it? Dental malocclusion is a term used to describe the misalignment of teeth.
This can lead to bite problems, where the upper and lower teeth don't align properly.
What are the symptoms of a malocclusion?
Depending on the classification of malocclusion, the symptoms of the disorder may be subtle or severe. Typical symptoms of malocclusion include:
- improper alignment of your teeth
- changes in the appearance of your face
- frequent biting of your inner cheeks or tongue
- discomfort when chewing or biting
- speech changes, including the development of a lisp
- breathing through your mouth rather than your nose
Diagnosing and classifying malocclusions
Malocclusion of teeth is typically diagnosed through routine dental exams. Your dentist will examine your teeth and may perform dental X-rays to determine if your teeth are properly aligned.
If your dentist detects malocclusion, they will classify it by its type and severity. There are three major classes of malocclusion:
Class 1
Class 1 malocclusion is diagnosed when your upper molars overlap with your lower molars in a good position, but your other teeth are crowded or spaced too far apart.
In this type of malocclusion, the bite is typical and your teeth misalignment is not severe. Class 1 malocclusion is the most common classification of malocclusion.
Class 2
Class 2 malocclusion is diagnosed when you have a severe overbite. In this type of malocclusion, your upper teeth and jaw significantly overlap with your lower teeth and jaw.
If a class 2 malocclusion happens when you have a smaller than usual lower jaw, it is also known as retrognathism (or retrognathia).
Class 3
Class 3 malocclusion is diagnosed when you have a severe underbite. In this type of malocclusion, your lower teeth overlap with your upper teeth.
This type is usually caused by a large lower jaw and is known as prognathism, meaning that your lower jaw protrudes forward.
How is a malocclusion of the teeth treated?
Most people with mild malocclusion will not require treatment. However, your dentist may refer you to an orthodontist if your malocclusion is severe.
Depending on your type of malocclusion, your orthodontist may recommend various treatments. These can include:
- braces to correct the position of your teeth
- dental appliances or retainers to realign teeth
- removal of teeth to correct overcrowding ans ;
- reshaping, bonding, or capping of teeth
- surgery to reshape or shorten your jaw
Treatment for the condition may also result in some complications. These include:
- tooth decay
- pain or discomfort
- irritation of your mouth from the use of appliances, such as braces
- difficulty chewing or speaking during treatment</p>
How can malocclusion be prevented?
Preventing the condition can be difficult because most cases of malocclusion are largely hereditary.
However, growth of your jaw and teeth can also be influenced by environmental factor
Parents of young children should limit pacifier and bottle use to help reduce changes in the development of the jaw. Children should also be encouraged to stop sucking their thumbs as young as possible.
Early detection of malocclusion may help decrease the length and severity of the treatmen
Outlook
A dental professional can typically correct malocclusion of teeth in children and adults.
Receiving early dental treatment in childhood can help reduce the treatment duration and may lead to fewer dental expenses in the long run.
Receiving early dental treatment Adults can also get good results. However, treatment for adults will generally take longer and may be more costly. The earlier you treat malocclusion, the better the outcome
