What should I do about dental malocclusion?
Common treatments for dental malocclusion:
1. Braces: This method gradually moves teeth into their proper positions by installing braces. Braces are a common and effective solution, suitable for most cases of misaligned teeth.
2. Clear aligners: Using clear aligner trays, such as invisible braces, to correct tooth alignment. Made from high-molecular materials, these aligners are highly transparent and barely noticeable when worn, making them ideal for patients with high aesthetic demands.
3. Orthognathic surgery: Severe dental deformities, such as maxillary protrusion or mandibular retrusion, may require orthognathic surgery. This type of surgery is usually combined with orthodontic treatment to achieve optimal results.
4. Tooth extraction: When severe crowding or other dental issues cause malocclusion, extracting teeth may be necessary to create space for proper alignment. Extractions should be performed under the supervision of a dentist to ensure patient comfort and safety.
Prior to treatment, you should consult with your dentist.
