Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Most of the malocclusions which are in present are cured by orthodontics are induced by functional and environmental factors and they can be prevented. Therefore proper identification, control and guidance of the environmental factors to adjust the cranio-facial structures would be the main target of a prevention of malocclusions. Parent education, maintenance of good oral hygiene, care of deciduous dentition, early intervention for supernumerary teeth and prevention of oral habits are some of the important measures in prevention of malocclusions.
