To understand the most common problems related to jaw and teeth, one must first look beyond the realm of dentistry.
Problems like malocclusion, buck teeth, overcrowding of teeth etc. can all be solved later in the life by surgical/orthodontic procedures. But understanding their cause will help to prevent the development of such conditions in young children.
Mouth is a part of the complex neuromuscular network of the facial region. Thus, problems like the ones mentioned above, are not inconvenient for teeth, but also cause difficulty in breathing, ear congestions and temporomandibular joint pains. Malocclusions and overcrowded teeth can be repaired through brief dental procedures like extractions and braces. But trying to cure problems related to ear, nose and mouth require complicated surgical procedures; often several of them.
