An experienced dental assistant is instructed by the orthodontist to train the new assistant so that she can be an effective member of the orthodontic team. What background information should an orthodontic assistant understand about malocclusion and its causes?.

Answer :

The orthodontist assigns an experienced dental assistant to train the new assistant. He must explain to the beginner that malocclusion refers to incorrect tooth alignment and the way that the upper and lower teeth fit together.

Misaligned teeth have a number of significant causes, including:

  • teeth and jaws are not the same size.
  • An unusual or habitual thumb-sucking behaviour swallowing
  • tooth decay
  • a few of jaw birth deformities
  • When the jaw is too small for the size of the teeth, teeth misalignment most frequently results. The teeth become too close together due to a slight size difference, leading to misalignment.
