This is the field of dentistry that deals with the prevention and treatment of dental abnormalities and malocclusion in children, adolescents and adults.
Malocclusion can interfere with the aesthetics of the face and can also cause the development of caries and periodontal disease. In addition, the malocclusion can lead to abnormal tooth abrasions, chewing difficulties, periodontal overloads and functional disorders of the temporo-mandibular joints.
