Malocclusion and misalignment can do more than affect a smile. They can increase the risk of tooth loss, periodontal disease, airway issues, TMJ disorders and migraines. This course explores how occlusion impacts both oral and overall health, emphasizing the importance of recognizing signs such as gum recession and enamel loss. Participants will learn to identify contributing factors, educate patients and develop treatment plans that prevent long-term damage while promoting lifelong oral health and function.
