What are Malocclusions and Why Treat Them?
Malocclusions are where the upper and lower jaws don’t line up correctly. We treat them because it’s important to have a good balanced bite so that when patients are chewing, the teeth come together properly and they are able to chew their food appropriately. The appearance is better and it helps with self esteem. There are many reports that show certain malocclusions increase the chance of TMJ problems.
