Occlusion & Aesthetics In Complete Denture

Occlusion is a vital part of dental health and well-being as it affects the appearance of the face and how efficiently one can chew food. Poor occlusion can lead to problems such as tooth decay jaw pain headaches and even poor facial appearance. It is also essential for speech development and the proper functioning of chewing muscles and the temporomandibular joint. Proper occlusion is critical in early childhood when teeth are first developing. Any irregularities during this period can cause misalignment or discrepancies that may lead to further issues later in life. For example overcrowding or misaligned teeth can cause an overlap between upper and lower teeth leading to difficulty chewing. An incorrect bite can also cause excess wear on some mouth regions which may lead to fractures or fracture lines along the tooth surface. In addition to affecting your ability to chew correctly occlusion also has aesthetic implications. People with good occlusion have a more symmetrical facial structure with even features. On the other hand those with poor occlusion may have asymmetrical facial features which give a less appealing lookAesthetic dentistry uses techniques available to modern medicine to give you a more natural healthy look. Aesthetic dentists use techniques like regular cleanings root canal removal and the restoration of teeth with fillings or bridges to make your teeth look normal and healthy. The goal is to give you healthy teeth that function properly so that you can look your best and eat and talk normally. Cosmetic dentistry is a little different from aesthetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry uses more advanced and invasive methods to make your teeth look a little better than what is considered perfect. Cosmetic dentistry includes techniques like teeth whitening braces veneers and a wide variety of other techniques. The idea is to give you bright white straight teeth that are picture perfect.
