Risks of misalignment
Misalignment of teeth and bite can cause dental problems such as cavities and periodontal disease by disrupting the balance of the entire mouth. Furthermore, misalignment of the jaw can cause distortion of the face and whole body, leading to temporomandibular joint disorder, migraines, stiff shoulders, and more.
Stabilizing your bite allows you to chew your daily food properly, absorb nutrients, and enjoy the flavor of your food, which also leads to improving and maintaining your overall health.
Treatment for bite alignment
The treatment for malocclusion mainly involves orthodontics and tooth alignment.

Treatment methods can be broadly divided into fixed braces and removable braces.
