attractive counterparts. Therefore, a divergence from perceived ideal dentofacial aesthetic, particularly in children, might adversely affect self-esteem and self-confidence besides attracting mockery from peers. It is therefore reasonable to theorize that deviations from "normal" or "ideal" dentofacial aesthetic could be destructive to an individual's psychosocial and emotional well-being, which brings upon some psychosocial distress in that individual as a result of their condition. Functional Individuals with hypodontia tend to have deeper bites and spaces. Further deepening of the bite can also be seen on individuals with missing posterior teeth. Apart from that, hypodontia may lead to non-working interferences, poor gingival contours and over-eruptions of the opposing teeth. It has been found that individuals with hypodontia experience more difficulty during mastication or functioning movements due to smaller occlusal table available. A recent cross-sectional study showed that hypodontia patients have more difficulties in chewing, especially if the deciduous teeth associated with the missing permanent teeth had been exfoliated. Despite currently limited evidence to support this statement, it is plausible that hypodontia may pose functional limitations, which eventually affect that individual's general well-being and quality of life. Hypodontia can indeed pose limitations on the chewing ability of a patient. The condition can be associated with split in the upper lips – a condition known as oral cleft. Hypodontia can have impacts on speech, aesthetics and function of muscles in the mouth. As a result, hypodontia can have negative impacts on the quality of life, although the condition can be well managed and treated by dentists and orthodontists. To manage the condition, the patient will need to have long-term orthodontic treatment. Financial Patient with hypodontia requires careful treatment plan due to complex case in order to ensure the best treatment outcomes. Such treatment plans require multi-disciplinary approach, which usually come at a financial cost to both patient and possibly their family. Due to this reason, a team consists of different dental specialties is involved in the patient care. Management Hypodontia is a condition that can present in various ways with differing severities. This results in a wide range of treatment methods available. Those affected should be allowed to consider and select the most suitable option for themselves. Early diagnosis of hypodontia is critical for treatment success. The treatment of hypodontia involves specialists in departments such as oral and maxillofacial surgery, operative dentistry, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics and prosthodontics. Before determining a treatment plan, the following
