<abstract>
<p>Dental alignment significantly influences the functional and aesthetic outcomes of prosthetic treatments, making it a crucial aspect of restorative dentistry. Misaligned teeth can lead to complications in prosthesis fit, including poor occlusal balance, uneven force distribution, and premature failure of restorations. These issues affect both patient comfort and the longevity of prosthetic devices, such as crowns, bridges, and implants. In addition to mechanical complications, malalignment also poses aesthetic challenges, as poorly aligned teeth can disrupt facial symmetry and impact patient satisfaction with their appearance. Orthodontic correction prior to prosthodontic treatment plays a pivotal role in addressing these issues. By realigning teeth, orthodontic treatment ensures an even distribution of biting forces, improving the stability and function of prosthetic restorations. This correction also allows for more precise prosthesis fabrication, enhancing fit and minimizing the need for adjustments. The improved alignment facilitates optimal implant placement, providing better long-term stability for dental implants. In turn, this reduces the risk of mechanical complications and increases the overall success rate of prosthetic treatments. Moreover, dental alignment contributes to better periodontal health, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of prostheses. Misaligned teeth can lead to plaque accumulation and periodontal disease, which compromise the supporting structures of the prosthesis. Proper alignment aids in easier maintenance of oral hygiene, thereby reducing the risk of infections and other complications. Aesthetic improvements are another important outcome of orthodontic correction, particularly for anterior restorations where alignment directly influences the appearance of the smile. In summary, dental alignment plays a key role in ensuring the functional, aesthetic, and long-term success of prosthetic treatments. Incorporating orthodontic correction into the treatment plan enhances prosthesis stability, patient satisfaction, and overall oral health, contributing to optimal outcomes in prosthodontic care.
