"Tiger tooth" refers to the fangs with dislocated lips, which protrude out of the dental arch. Because the crown of the tree is large and the roots are long, it looks particularly ugly when sticking out to support your lips. People want to have their tiger teeth pulled out just to look good. But this is very wrong.

Don't pull out "tiger teeth" casually, because maxillary fangs play an irreplaceable role in the oral cavity.

First of all, fangs are the longest-lasting teeth in the mouth. They are not easy to get sick, and their roots are long and strong. Its teeth are sharp and powerful, which can tear up food when chewing.

Secondly, fangs are arranged in the corners of the corners of the mouth to support the lips and keep the face full. If the fangs are missing, it will cause the upper lip to collapse and affect the face. If one side is pulled out, there will be bilateral facial asymmetry, which will affect the appearance.

The formation of "tiger teeth" is often due to the premature shedding of primary teeth, and the eruption of adjacent permanent teeth moves to the gap, occupying the position of canine teeth. There is not enough space for canine teeth to erupt, which forces them to erupt at a high position on the labial side, thus protruding the dental arch.

If you have a "tiger tooth", you have to go to the hospital, and the doctor will give treatment according to the child's condition. In orthodontics, tooth extraction should be considered only when premolars completely occupy the position of canines, or when dentition is extremely uncoordinated and canines develop abnormally, which is difficult to correct unless tooth extraction is carried out.
