1. From the etiology, most patients with adenoid face are accompanied by tonsil hypertrophy, adenoid hypertrophy, chronic rhinitis and other related diseases. Endoscopic adenoidectomy and bilateral tonsillectomy can alleviate upper airway stenosis. At the same time, comprehensive treatment such as nasal hormone spraying, active treatment of rhinitis and promotion of nasal ventilation can make patients breathe with their mouths open, and snoring symptoms can be alleviated or even disappeared. At this time, the patient's adenoid surface can be gradually improved.
2. Patients with adenoid face may be accompanied by the above-mentioned tooth protrusion, irregular teeth and other related changes. After the operation, they can go to the department of stomatology for orthodontics, repair teeth and improve tooth defects.
3. In some patients, if the adenoid surface takes a particularly long time, more than 3-5 years, once the skeletal development of the maxilla has been completed, this situation will be difficult to handle, and the risk of correcting the adenoid surface through surgery is relatively high.
Introduction: Adenoids are often called pharyngeal tonsils. The normal pharyngeal tonsil develops to its maximum at the age of six, and then gradually begins to degenerate. If the pharyngeal tonsil hyperplasia affects the surrounding tissues, it will cause some symptoms, which is called adenoidal hypertrophy.
If adenoids appear pathological hyperplasia and hypertrophy due to repeated stimulation of inflammation, it will affect the growth and development of children. Because the child's nasopharynx is relatively small, when the adenoids are enlarged, he breathes with his mouth open for a long time because of nasal congestion. When the airflow hits the hard palate, the hard palate will deform and arch. Over time, facial development will be deformed, the upper lip will be short and thick, the mandible will droop, the nasolabial groove will disappear, the hard palate will arch, the teeth will be irregularly arranged, the upper incisors will protrude, the occlusion will be bad, and the nasal septum will be flat.
Muscles are immobile, expressions are lacking, and they look like pigs or ugly ducklings, which is medically called "adenoid face".
