Hello! Orthodontics in children is under the age of 15, and malocclusion is treated by orthodontics or surgery. Malocclusion refers to the deformity of teeth, jaw and craniofacial caused by congenital or acquired factors during the growth and development of children (the common maxillofacial deformities of children can be divided into: tooth deformity and skeletal deformity. Tooth deformities are divided into general tooth deformities and functional deformities. Different types of deformities have different optimal correction opportunities.

Method of correction:

Movable appliance: it is generally used to correct simple mistakes and deformities of deciduous teeth and dentition, or to correct them with fixed appliances. The patient can take it down by himself.

Fixed chair orthosis: the most commonly used orthosis. The patient can't take it off himself.

Functional chair appliance: it is mainly used for children who are still at the peak of growth and development during or just after tooth replacement. The functional appliance can correct skeletal malocclusion and deformity.

Orthognathic surgery: Serious dentofacial deformities, such as maxillary protrusion, maxillary retraction, mandibular protrusion and mandibular retraction, need to be corrected by surgery and orthodontics if simple correction cannot be solved.
