For example, in the case of children with diastema, because of the opposite of normal growth, the lower teeth are on the outside of the upper teeth, the lower teeth will prevent the upper teeth from growing forward, resulting in insufficient development of the upper teeth, while the force of the upper joint to develop forward and push the lower jaw, making it overdeveloped. This forms a vicious circle, and the malformation will become more and more serious. 3.Harmful to health.

When the teeth are not aligned, the food residue will easily accumulate in the gap between the teeth, which is unfavorable to oral hygiene and conducive to the reproduction of bacteria, so it is easy to occur caries and periodontal disease, etc.
