This is why it is difficult to make a quick diagnosis. The orthodontist must conduct a thorough and appropriate assessment. Dental X-rays and molds are the main diagnostic tools for finding the right treatment. Invisalign aligners can correct most malocclusions. The upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth. Most of us have a slight overbite. When it is too pronounced, it is called a deep bite. This can lead to tooth wear or jaw pain. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The teeth lack space to align properly. This can lead to the accumulation of plaque or tartar, as it is more difficult to brush your teeth and use dental floss. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n When there is a significant space between two or more of your teeth. This can lead to the formation of gum pockets (plaque accumulation), causing gum swelling (gingivitis). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n Your lower front teeth are positioned in front of your upper teeth. Generally, this involves the lower jaw being too far forward. This can prevent proper chewing and clear speech, as well as faster wear of your teeth. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Your upper and lower teeth do not touch when you close your mouth. This can make it difficult to chew or bite common foods such as apples. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Some of your upper teeth are positioned inside your lower teeth. This can lead to wear or chipping of your teeth. Your gums may recede, which can cause painful problems or even bone loss. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n Dental malocclusions should never be neglected as they can have a negative impact on chewing or speech. <\/p>\n\n Different consequences are possible:<\/p>\n\n Sometimes, however, the symptoms are more subtle, and especially distant from the mouth so as not to suggest direct involvement. These symptoms form a broader framework of disorders that define postural deficiency syndrome (P.D.S.) and manifest as: <\/p>\n\n These symptoms, which refer to different regions of the body, often disorient the general practitioner and force the patient, who suffers from chronic pain, to follow a long and often frustrating procedure with different specialists: orthopedists, otologists, psychologists, neurologists, chiropractors.<\/p>\n\n Each of these specialists will prescribe unnecessary therapies (most often invasive or incorrect) because they are not complemented by assessments of interactions related to malocclusion, resulting in continued suffering, with consequent disappointment and additional psychophysical stress.<\/p>\n\n With proper orthodontic treatment, it is possible to restore the functionality, morphology, and aesthetics of the face and smile. It is essential to act as early as possible, especially in the most complex cases, to avoid major complications. <\/p>\n\n How?
