Dental misalignment, characterized by teeth that are not straight or properly positioned, can affect oral health and aesthetics. Options available to correct such conditions encompass a range of treatments designed to reposition teeth and improve overall dental alignment. An example includes the use of orthodontic appliances to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions.
Addressing dental misalignment offers several benefits, including improved oral hygiene, reduced risk of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and enhanced self-esteem. Historically, methods of correcting tooth positioning have evolved from rudimentary techniques to sophisticated modern orthodontic practices, reflecting advancements in materials and treatment approaches.
