Can wisdom teeth affect mandible and cause mandibular disorder?
Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. If the shape of wisdom teeth is incorrect, it will lead to mandibular protrusion. If the mandible has been subjected to acute trauma such as external force impact, sudden biting into hard objects, excessive mouth opening, frequent chewing of hard objects, nocturnal molars and unilateral chewing habits, or the occlusal relationship is disordered, such as excessive cusp, excessive tooth wear, excessive molar loss, bad dentures and low mandibular distance, the functional balance between internal structures of joints can be destroyed, which may promote the occurrence of temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome. I hope it helps you.
