Does the child's irregular teeth not only affect the appearance? When is the best time to correct?
Children's dental health problems are usually ignored by parents, who think that basic cleaning is enough. But in fact, whether the teeth are arranged neatly and whether the occlusion is normal is also very important. Tooth occlusion errors also have a certain impact on children's facial development, in other words, it will affect children's face value. Therefore, it is also essential to take children to the dentist regularly. Children's teeth are uneven, and malocclusion not only affects the appearance, but also tries to correct it.

When Tangtang's mother took her children to have their teeth examined, the doctor said that Tangtang had a tendency to invert the deciduous teeth, but for the doctor's warning. Sugar sugar mom really didn't find this detail. Because you can't see anything just by looking at the appearance, but the doctor asked the sugar mother to look at the child's teeth while checking. There is indeed a problem of uneven arrangement. I thought it was a small problem, and it should be fixed when the child changed his teeth.

Later, with the help of doctors, Tang Tang was adjusted. Tang Tang said, it seems that eating now is not as tiring as before. The doctor told sugar mom that it is not uncommon for children to have malocclusion in reality. There are many factors that cause this situation, but Dachuan's living habits are related, and childhood and eating habits are also related, and a few are hereditary. However, the doctor still suggested that it should be corrected as soon as possible, so as to avoid the difficulty of bone replacement in the future. It's not too late to correct it, and the damage to the child's teeth is relatively small. Children's deciduous teeth and malocclusion are all related to these factors, and grasping the golden period of correction is the key.

The malocclusion of primary teeth in children is related to these factors, and grasping the golden period of correction is the key.

There is such a standard for malocclusion, that is, to observe the relationship between the front teeth and other teeth after occlusion. When a child's teeth are not fully developed, it is impossible to judge correctly. The final diagnosis can only be made when the child is about 2-3 years old and the child's 20 deciduous teeth have all grown up.

1. Genetic factors

What can be passed down from generation to generation is basically skeletal malocclusion, which is difficult to correct. Therefore, if relatives and elders at home have this gene, parents should pay more attention to their children's dental problems and intervene as soon as possible, which can save trouble and effort.

2. Eating habits

This should be divided into breastfeeding and milk powder feeding.

Breastfeeding: mothers should pay attention to keeping an inclined angle. Children are more likely to lie down and feed than ordinary people. Although breastfeeding can exercise children's facial muscles well, the wrong posture will also bring different effects.

Milk powder feeding: when a child drinks milk from a bottle, try to let him sit and drink. Lying down and drinking pacifiers will exert pressure on the front of the maxilla in the mouth, thus affecting the development of the maxilla. When the maxillary and mandibular development is not synchronous, there will be "blue sky everywhere"

Therefore, the American Academy of Pediatrics also suggests that children should quit pacifiers after one year old and begin to learn to drink water or milk from cups.

3. Behavior habits

Babies will like to eat their hands during the oral period, but eating their hands all the time after this period will affect the growth of deciduous teeth. When parents notice this behavior, they need to control it.

4. Respiratory diseases

A baby with a bad respiratory tract may have a stuffy nose and so on. In order to get more oxygen, the baby has to breathe through his mouth. Then at this time, the baby will open his mouth and stick out his tongue to drive the whole movement of the jaw. In the long run, it will make the mandible more prominent than the maxilla.

Children with irregular teeth and malocclusion will not only affect their appearance, but also have a certain impact on their health.

If you have a bad mouth, chewing will also be a burden. Some foods can't be chewed well in the mouth, so when food enters our stomach, it will cause trouble in the digestive tract. Seriously affect the healthy growth of children.

Irregular teeth may ignore some teeth when brushing their teeth, so the residue between teeth can not be completely removed, which is easy to cause dental caries.

Appearance will be affected to some extent, and it is also possible to be laughed at by classmates and friends at school and feel inferior. Cold violence on campus is often caused by children's looks. Because they are different from others in image, they may be ridiculed and rejected, and they will also make children unwilling to go to school.

Good pronunciation also needs the perfect cooperation of all parts of the mouth. Maxillofacial problems will affect children's pronunciation, and there may be slurred speech and inaccurate pronunciation.

These hazards are not temporary, but are accompanied by life, so we parents should remedy the situation before it gets worse.

So when is the best time to correct malocclusion? Try not to put it off until this period.

Deciduous period (4 months -2.5 years old)

This is the easiest and most suitable time to intervene. Parents who regularly check their children's dental habits can quickly find their children's problems. If this part of the child's teeth is malocclusion, it can be corrected at the age of three or four. As long as the child is willing to cooperate with a bite on the mold, the process is not difficult.

Slight malocclusion may only be corrected by changing children's living habits. However, the correction of deciduous teeth also has a disadvantage, that is, in the later permanent tooth stage of children, the malocclusion may still recur. Therefore, we should not take it lightly at any time, and correcting malocclusion is also a protracted war.

Second, the tooth changing period (about 6 years old)

Basically, children enter the tooth changing period when they are six or seven years old. When all his teeth are changed, he will be eleven or twelve years old, that is, when he graduated from primary school. The end time of maxillary development in our body is also different. Maxillary 10 years old, mandible is 20 years old, so if it is not corrected before the end of maxillary development, it is estimated that the later correction will lose its effect. Orthopedics were also used in this period, but they were more functional.

Third, the tooth changing period (about 12 years old)

The child's teeth have basically been changed and the bones are almost finalized. At this time, corrective treatment is much more painful than before.

Fourth, the permanent tooth period (after the tooth change period, it will enter the permanent tooth period)

Non-bony quilt can be improved by orthodontics, and bony quilt can be corrected by orthodontics+surgery. However, in this period, if it has been finalized, the revised face value will not change too obviously. Just like buck teeth with braces, it is impossible to look completely seamless, and at most it can improve some of the situation. The cost of orthodontics will also increase with age, so try not to delay until after permanent dentition to realize the seriousness of the problem.

There is a dental industry data of 654381October 25 /26, which shows that about 84,000 people are consulting about dental irregularities that day, and about1-20,000 people are troubled by land parcels every day.

From this perspective, dental problems are still a lot of people's troubles. The cost of correcting plots for adults is much more expensive than that for children. The older you get, the more difficult it is to correct, and the effect is different.

Therefore, in order to prevent children from suffering such troubles in the future, parents have the obligation to intervene when their children are young. It should be noted that children are actually afraid and resistant to doctors. Before taking the child to correct, we should also do a good job in the child's psychological work and let the child accept treatment willingly. Fear of pain can also be carried out through parents' distraction. For children's malocclusion, the suggestions are: early detection-early intervention-early solution.
