What is Malocclusion?
Malocclusion refers to the improper alignment between the upper arch (maxilla) and lower arch (mandible), leading to a misalignment of teeth. This prevalent issue is often a result of genetic factors, poor oral habits, or other early developmental influences.
Classifications of Malocclusion
Class I: Typical occlusion with spacing or overcrowding issues in other teeth.
Class II: Overbite, where upper teeth protrude forward.
Class III: Underbite, with lower teeth positioned ahead of the upper teeth.
Reasons to Address Malocclusion
Reduced Risk of Tooth Decay: Malocclusion can cause uneven wear patterns, leading to tooth erosion. Treatment reduces the risk of decay.
Better Oral Hygiene: Overcrowding in malocclusion makes cleaning difficult. Straight, aligned teeth are easier to maintain.
Reduced TMJ Risks: Malocclusion is linked to Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome. Realignment reduces pressure, alleviating headaches and facial pains.
Treatment Options for Malocclusion
At Hekmat Dental, we offer tailored solutions for malocclusion:
Fixed Multibracket Braces: Brackets attached to each tooth with an adjustable archwire for progressive alignment.
Removable Devices: Retainers, headgear, and palate expanders provide non-fixed alternatives, ideal for various malocclusion types.
SureSmile® Clear Aligners: Enjoy discreet realignment with removable, invisible aligners that don’t compromise your smile’s aesthetics.
Dr. Hekmat combines cutting-edge techniques with personalized care to deliver effective malocclusion solutions. Whether you’re a child or an adult, it’s never too late to achieve a perfectly aligned, radiant smile.
