Permanent bite Introduction Bite is the arrangement of teeth in the jaw and upper and lower gums. A permanent bite is the placement of the jaws and their teeth in relation to each other, which remains throughout a person’s life. It depends on heredity, developmental characteristics in the prenatal period, nutrition and other factors. Orthodontists are called upon to help adults correct or maintain their bite, align teeth in position, eliminate cracks in enamel, get rid of increased sensitivity of teeth, stones in the dental canals and diseases of the oral cavity. Today we will look at what types of malocclusion there are, what corrective methods orthodontists offer, and what will happen if you do not monitor the condition of the jaw bones. Causes of malocclusion Disproportion of the bone structures of the jaw leads to incorrect placement of teeth. Most often, malocclusion occurs during the early development of a newborn. Features of the prenatal period can affect the position of teeth and the process of their birth. For example, a narrow nose interferes with the mother’s breathing, and it is difficult for the fetus to breathe in utero, which is why it becomes restless and can strain the neck muscles
