If there is a "plot", the treatment time should be earlier, because the growth of the jawbone, that is, the bones around the teeth, is earlier than the development of the body. Jaw develops early, so "covering the sky" will affect the growth and development of the whole mouth, face and jaw.
Generally speaking, most of the baby's tooth deformities can only be corrected after the teeth are changed, that is, the permanent teeth are long, and the "ground cover" after the teeth are changed cannot be treated, so it needs to be treated as soon as possible.
1, the treatment stage of malocclusion of deciduous teeth is about 2-5 years old, and the best treatment age is about 4 years old. At this time, the baby's permanent teeth have not erupted, and the roots of deciduous teeth have not been absorbed. In the course of treatment, under the guidance of a doctor, the correction can be completed in 3-6 months by simple methods such as wearing movable appliances and correcting bad oral habits.
2. This is the occlusal period of mixed dentition. If malocclusion occurs in mixed dentition, the treatment time should be 6- 12 years old, and the best treatment age should be around 9 years old. At this time, it is only the inverted jaw of the teeth, which is relatively easy to correct. According to the situation of malocclusion in children, movable and fixed appliances can be used to correct teeth, even with external plastic force.
3. If the malocclusion is not corrected in time in the mixed dentition period, the correction in the permanent dentition period is generally after 12 years old, which requires complex appliances, which is difficult, time-consuming and expensive, and the improvement of facial shape is not obvious. Severe cases need orthognathic surgery to correct.
