What is the effect of genetics on orthodontic treatment?

Note that genetics is not a specific concept and many factors affect or are influenced by it. Genetics pass on traits such as height, weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, intelligence, behavior and sexual orientation. All of these traits, as well as most dental and congenital anomalies, are hereditary, although they can be affected by the environment. In other words, both genetics and environment cause dental abnormalities, and a professional orthodontist can treat them by identifying the causes of malocclusion.
