Dentofacial functional abnormalities - what does this mean
Dentofacial functional abnormalities occur when the alignment of the teeth and jaw are not in their proper position, resulting in an improper bite. this can lead to difficulty in speaking, eating, and other oral functions.
What happens during the disease - dentofacial functional abnormalities
Dentofacial functional abnormalities are caused by a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, such as poor oral hygiene, trauma, and chronic stress. these factors can lead to changes in the structure of the teeth, jaw, and facial muscles, resulting in malocclusion, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, and other impairments in the ability to properly open and close the mouth. in addition, these changes can lead to changes in the way the jaw and teeth interact, resulting in difficulty with chewing and speaking.
