Experts from the Shanghai Armed Police Corps Hospital pointed out that buck teeth will not only cause certain psychological harm to children, but will also affect their pronunciation and chewing functions. The harm caused to children's growth and development cannot be underestimated. The best age for children’s orthodontic treatment is generally between 11 and 14 years old. Children with buck teeth can be corrected with braces.
1. Removable orthodontic treatment: It is generally used to correct relatively simple malocclusions in deciduous teeth and replacement teeth, or it can be corrected with fixed appliances, which can be removed and worn by the patient himself.
2. Functional orthodontics: It is mainly used for children who are in the period of tooth replacement or who have just had their teeth replaced and are still in the peak period of growth and development. Functional appliances can be used to correct skeletal malocclusions. For children with malocclusions such as mandibular retrusion and anterior crossbite who have poor profile during the deciduous and replacement teeth stages, functional appliances can achieve good results.
