Abstract

Malocclusion or irregularities of teeth and mismatched jaw size is a common problem in Indian population. Certain physiological habits that if continued beyond a certain age, can create an imbalanced growth of facial structures. Certain acquired habits are detrimental to jaw growth and can alter path of eruption of teeth leading to malocclusion. Intervention at the correct age can prevent development of malocclusion, and treatment at appropriate time can hasten correction, leading to shortening the duration of treatment and lesser complications.
