  11. Need and demand of orthodontic Treatment Protruding,irregular,ormaloccluded teeth can cause tree types of problems of the patients. • Discrimination because of facial appearance.

Even minor imperfections-trigger clenching and grinding activities-facial muscle pain. Relationship to injury and Dental diseases- In Class II Div .1 malocclusion cases.

STRUCTURAL BALANCE- Aim to improve the function between the alveolar system, skeletal & soft tissue as malalignment causes- • Difficulty in maintenance of oral hygiene • Traumatic occlusion- periodontal tissue damage. • Proclination of teeth - injury by accident. • TMJ problems like pain & dysjunction.

  22. C) ESTHETIC HARMONY- Aim to improve the appearance of teeth & face as malocclusion causes- • Poor facial appearance • Patient is self conscious • Psychological disturbances.
