The impact of malocclusion on aesthetics is obvious, so many parents think that bad teeth are just unattractive and affect the aesthetics, this view is very one-sided. In fact, the harm of malocclusion is multifaceted, it has different degrees of impact and damage on the development of oral and maxillofacial soft and hard tissues, dental and jaw functions, health of teeth and periodontal tissues, facial aesthetics and physical and mental health. The first is the impact on the development of jaw bone and facial soft tissues. If the lower front teeth bite on the outside of the upper front teeth, that is, the anterior teeth are not treated in a timely manner, the mandibular arch will limit the forward development of the maxillary arch and jaw bone, and the force of the forward development of the maxilla will in turn promote the excessive forward development of the mandible, resulting in a vicious circle, the result of the deformity is more serious, manifested as the central facial depression, the mandibular chin protrusion, seemingly “crescent child The result is a more serious deformity, manifesting as a sunken middle face and a protruding mandible and chin, which looks like a “crescent child” face. It can be seen that malocclusion has a serious impact on the development of the jaws. Secondly, it affects the health and function of the oral cavity. The crowded teeth are not easy to self-clean, and it is not easy to brush thoroughly when brushing, so it is good to develop dental caries, gingivitis and periodontitis. If the upper and lower arches are not coordinated, the teeth cannot bite, cut and chew food normally, thus increasing the digestive burden of the gastrointestinal tract, which may cause disorders of gastrointestinal function and affect the digestion of food and absorption of nutrients, thus affecting the health of the whole body. When the back teeth have bitten and the front teeth can not bite on is called anterior open bite, at this time the front teeth can not cut the food, for some phonetic hair is not clear. The disorder of some teeth misalignment and occlusal relationship may cause the temporomandibular joint dysfunction and affect the functional movement of the jaw. Malocclusion can also affect the aesthetics of the face. The impact of severe malocclusion on the physical and mental health of the child cannot be ignored. Social frustration and limited career choices can cause stress and trauma to the mind and spirit of the patient. Poor psychological adjustment may lead to loss of self-confidence and gradually become depressed, low self-esteem and withdrawn. Today’s society is also very competitive, and students need to go through interviews in the process of choosing schools and careers, which inevitably causes a great psychological burden to patients with malocclusion. Therefore, in order to protect the normal development and function of children’s jaw and face, reduce the occurrence of dental caries and periodontal disease, and safeguard physical and mental health, it is very necessary to actively prevent and treat malocclusion.
