Orthognathism

Orthognathism is the correct position of the teeth in the jaws, in which the upper row of teeth completely overlaps the lower one, and the upper jaw protrudes above the lower one. This allows a person to fully chew food and speak without restricting the movement of the jaw joints or causing pain. Lack of orthognathism can lead to a number of health problems, such as

Orthognathism is a condition where the jaws are in the correct position relative to each other. The term orthognathism comes from the combination of the Greek words "ortho" (right) and "gnathos" (jaw). Correct placement of the jaws helps improve a person’s bite and posture.

Orthognathism is important for dental and oral health. If the jaws are not positioned correctly, it can lead to various problems such as facial deformation, dental overload and problems in the respiratory tract. Also, improper jaw alignment can affect your overall quality of life. People with malocclusion and wearing braces often face problems in communication, social adaptation and family life.

To achieve the ideal jaw alignment, your orthodontist may recommend a course of treatment, which may include the use of braces or other orthodontic appliances. Treatment lasts for several months or years, depending on the complexity of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient. However, a course of treatment can speed up the process of natural growth of bones and muscle tissue in the mouth, which allows you to correct malocclusion without the use of orthodontic appliances.

Regular oral hygiene and daily cleansing procedures are important for orthognathism. The accumulation of plaque on teeth and between teeth can lead to tooth decay and an increased risk of developing caries. Additionally, poor oral hygiene can cause bad breath. Regular brushing and use of oral care products will help prevent the development of dental disease and prolong the life of your teeth.

Let's reveal a secret. Many dentists advise that teeth should be centered because if the upper and lower teeth are not in line, they begin to press against each other and cause gum inflammation. This leads to the development of periodontitis and premature tooth loss before the age of 35. The result is exposure of the roots, associated pain, and the need to install implants.
