Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Malocclusion; irregularity of the teeth beyond the range of what is considered normal, is a dental problem faced by thousands of people across the globe that can be completely cured and treated. The prevalence of malocclusion and its orthodontic treatment have been well documented in literature. However, the core objective of this article is to understand the psychosocial impact and social stigma attached to malocclusion, how it affects our society and how orthodontists can help their patients in overcoming this stigma.
