Our jaws are very important. They allow us to chew, grind and bite food. They also help us to swallow and have normal speech. They play a vital role in our dental health. But oftentimes we take our jaw for granted.
Dental occlusion is when the upper and lower jaws meet right. They fit well with each other. But if they don’t it’s called malocclusion. This leads to orthodontic problems. Almost two million Americans live with malocclusion. But no one has to endure this. Dental braces can correct this as well as other dental problems.
20% of our population live difficult lives because of jaw problems. 5% endure malocclusion. Through orthodontics and tooth braces, they have a chance to live more comfortably and enjoy life better.
