It is quite rare that we encounter patients who have a naturally healthy bite. In most cases, orthodontic help is needed for reasons beyond our control. Teeth can shift for various reasons, such as abnormal growth, eruption of adult teeth, or simply as a result of the natural aging process.
When teeth are in an anatomically incorrect position, they are subject to excessive stress and deformation. This can lead to various problems, such as abrasion of the front teeth, wedge-shaped defects in the cervical area, gum recession, and exposure of dentin.
