Why Bite Correction Is Important

Malocclusion — More Than Just an Aesthetic Issue

The current trend of accepting imperfections in one's own body is beneficial. There is no need to fanatically chase an ideal. But malocclusion is not just an aesthetic problem — it is also a functional one.

Functional Consequences

• Speech disorders — diction defects
• Mucosal microtrauma — soft tissue injuries
• Incorrect chewing load distribution — excessive enamel wear and microfractures
• Migraines and bruxism — involuntary teeth grinding
• Joint problems — temporomandibular joint dysfunction
• Gastrointestinal problems — due to poor chewing

Psychological Consequences

In teenagers, malocclusion can also cause psychological problems: low self-esteem and stress due to peer ridicule.

When Is It Easier to Correct

In children, bite anomalies are much easier to correct than in adults — both in terms of time and predictability of results. But adults can also successfully undergo orthodontic treatment. At Orto Clinic Chisinau, we offer solutions for all ages.
