Divergence of teeth to the sides

Divergence of teeth to the sides is a common symptom of malocclusion, where the upper and lower teeth do not fit together properly. It is characterized by the upper and lower teeth pointing outward away from each other, creating an unnatural gap between them. This gap can be caused by an improper bite or misalignment of the jaw. It can manifest differently in different individuals, ranging from mild to severe cases. In mild cases, the teeth may appear slightly crooked and may cause difficulty in speaking and eating. In more severe cases, the teeth can become significantly misaligned and may require orthodontic treatment to correct.
