THE IMPACT OF EXTERNAL FACTORS ON DENTOFACIAL ANOMALIES

This scientific article provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis of external factors influencing the etiology, development, and treatment effectiveness of orthodontic anomalies. Recent studies indicate that the dentofacial system is shaped not only by hereditary and intrinsic biological factors but also by environmental, socio-economic, nutritional, hygienic, psychological, and technogenic influences. The article extensively examines the impact of these factors on the occurrence of orthodontic problems in children, adolescents, and adults, as well as on treatment duration, the development of complications, and the stability of treatment outcomes. The study is based on an analysis of contemporary scientific literature and clinical observations. The findings demonstrate that early identification and timely correction of external factors significantly enhance the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment and improve the long-term stability of its results.
