Mild mandibular misalignment can be corrected using orthodontic appliances such as braces or aligners to adjust the position of teeth and improve occlusion. In cases of severe mandibular misalignment, surgical treatment may be required. Surgical options include maxillofacial surgery and orthognathic surgery. After surgery, orthodontic appliances like braces are often needed to maintain dental stability. It is advisable to pay attention to chewing habits, avoid excessive biting on hard objects, maintain good oral hygiene, and schedule regular check-ups with a dentist.
