As aesthetic standards continue to rise, many people are paying closer attention to perfection in every detail. Among these, adult malocclusion is one of the three major oral diseases that severely affects a patient's appearance. Beyond its social impact, it also compromises oral function, making it a condition that demands serious attention.
Experts point out that adult malocclusion refers to misalignment of teeth and occlusion, as well as craniofacial deformities caused by various factors. With a prevalence rate of over 60% in China, it ranks among the three major oral diseases and has far-reaching consequences. First and most visibly, it affects facial aesthetics. Dental and oral-maxillofacial deformities can severely impact one's appearance, and in severe cases, lead to craniofacial developmental abnormalities such as underbite, receding chin, lip incompetence, and mandibular retrusion—all of which significantly diminish one's overall image.
Secondly, it compromises oral hygiene and health. Misaligned teeth and occlusal disorders make it difficult to clean teeth thoroughly, increasing the risk of caries, calculus, gingivitis, and other oral diseases over time, which seriously undermines dental health and longevity. Additionally, adult malocclusion can impair oral function. Certain deformities affect functions such as speech (e.g., unclear pronunciation due to open bite), chewing efficiency (significantly reduced due to poor occlusion), and can cause temporomandibular joint disorders from deep bite or unilateral chewing.
Furthermore, adult malocclusion can affect overall systemic health. Reduced chewing function places an extra burden on the gastrointestinal tract, potentially leading to indigestion or gastrointestinal diseases over time. Moreover, many children develop feelings of inferiority due to unattractive teeth, which can affect their psychological well-being and, later in life, their self-confidence in social and professional settings. Therefore, it is essential to seek timely correction at a reputable dental clinic.
