In the deciduous period (before 5 years old) and the tooth changing period (6- 1 1 year old), general malocclusion, such as individual teeth dislocation, does not need immediate correction, so we can continue to observe and let the teeth adjust themselves. However, if the child has acute malocclusion and acute crossbite, it will affect the arrangement of other teeth and hinder the growth and development of the face, so it should be corrected as soon as possible. For example, malocclusion of deciduous teeth will hinder the development of maxilla and affect facial beauty. Children will begin to correct after they are two and a half years old. Severe mandibular retrusion should also be corrected as early as possible during dentition replacement, so as to avoid more and more serious retrusion and reduce the difficulty of continuing correction in the future.
Most orthodontics will not achieve the best effect until the child's teeth are completely replaced, that is, 12 years old. Because the occlusal relationship between the upper and lower teeth has been adjusted at this time,
The teeth have been formed,
Can make a definite diagnosis of malocclusion,
Take corresponding corrective measures. If you are over this age,
It will be more difficult to correct the child when he is older.
Therefore, you must take your child for dental examination regularly, and the doctor will choose the most suitable time for corrective treatment according to the child's situation.
