malposition of teeth

For a denture is considered ideal, it must meet several requirements: it must be proportionate to the dimensions of the jaws, and its component parts must meet the same level, in a uniform position, not interbreed and arranged symmetrically on both dental arches, so that the top lightly cover the bottom when you close your mouth. There are many requirements, and therefore it is difficult to see perfect teeth. Instead, it is quite common for teeth to be diverted, or grossly separated, however, overlapping, crowded.

These are common forms of malposition, although not unique because the defects can be very different and more or less marked. Apparently this is a cosmetic problem, but in reality the malposition may involve some serious problems. For example, there may also malocclusion, ie an abnormal contact between the teeth of the maxilla and the mandible, which produces difficulties in mastication or speech, or conducive to the retention of food and dental caries or periodontal disease, inflammation, etc.. Therefore defects should be corrected tooth position, and this aspect is concerned the field of dentistry called orthodontics.


What about bad habits?
At the origin of the malposition of teeth may be involved several factors. some of which are constitutional and hereditary 0 can not be prevented.

But the most common is that the defect was caused by the persistence of bad habits during childhood behaviors that hinder the normal output of the teeth or cause their displacement: for example a child to suck on your finger repeatedly until later to use not too long anatomical dummies to breathe normally through your mouth you get used to stick his tongue between the two dental arches … It is thus easily avoidable factors before they lead to deviations from the teeth after treatment will require more or less complex. It is worthwhile for parents to take this into account for example by choosing a pacifier or adequately controlling children breathe well.
