Consequently, unesthetic teeth appearance can cause an impaired dentofacial esthetics which can exert a profound negative impact on quality of life in most people. The most common causes of dental aesthetic impairments are missing (especially in the front/anterior teeth) and malposed and/or misaligned teeth.
