Would you please elaborate more in layman's terms?


Your occlusion/teeth position is not arbitrary and it impacts other parts of the system like the maxilla, the mandible, and even your tongue. Changing it only based on aesthetics can unbalance the forces that you were applying before the treatment and other issues can appear.

This doesn't mean that every dentist really cares about this issue but you should search for a professional who cares about this.


Occlusion ~= how your upper and lower teeth fit together when you close your mouth.
