Orthodontics is one of the best and most important basic treatment methods, and it has a special application in the treatment of speech disorders. The orthodontist plays an important role in solving speech problems by aligning the position of the teeth and jaw. As a result, patients with jaw and teeth deformities can overcome them by referring to an orthodontist and realizing the impact of orthodontics on speech.
Since Class I and II malocclusions can also alter the position of soft tissues such as the tongue, this affects speech and voice production. The orthodontist uses orthodontic appliances for treatment by carefully examining the position of the teeth and jaw. During treatment, the orthodontist gradually moves the jaws and teeth. Correcting the position of the jaw and the alignment of the teeth will eliminate malocclusion and the effect of orthodontics on speech will be clear.
