Incorrect dentition causes discomfort to many people today. The problem not only affects aesthetics, but also threatens oral health, which is associated with pain and requires orthodontic treatment.
Incorrect dentition increases:
• The risk of gum diseases.
• The number of caries due to improperly maintained hygiene.
• The risk of early tooth loss.
• The risk of jaw-joint pain

It is especially important to detect the problem at an early age, it is desirable for the child to consult an orthodontist on time, because the formation of the problem begins at an early age and, in many cases, it is not noticed by the parent. The causes of these disorders are: bad habits, improper breathing and swallowing, genetics and other factors. Along with the growth process, the pathology of occlusion becomes more severe and therefore requires longer treatment.

What kind of children belong to the risk group?

Children who suck their fingers even after 5 years, and who have very little space between their baby teeth, because the permanent teeth are bigger and need more space to erupt.
