What should I do if my child's teeth are irregular? 1, more attention should be paid to observation at the initial stage of tooth replacement.
Some children will have temporary malocclusion during tooth replacement, such as anterior tooth space, mild congestion and deep occlusion. There is no need to worry about this situation. Just pay more attention to the growth and development of children's teeth and correct the bad habit of using teeth immediately. With the increase of age and the growth and development of teeth, this problem will gradually disappear or be alleviated.
2. The application of theme activity appliances should be correct.
If the child has the problem of uneven single teeth in the deciduous period, it is only necessary to correct the child's bad tooth habits immediately, and it can gradually improve with the child's growth and development, and even everything will return to normal. Because children's new teeth grow and develop rapidly, in addition to making full use of correction, they can also wear themed removable appliances for correction.
3, the role of home appliances should be correct.
The function of functional appliance is basically similar to that of thematic activity appliance, which can temporarily correct children's teeth and make them more and more tidy. The multifunctional appliance is suitable for children who have just changed their teeth and children who have changed their teeth. At this stage, children's teeth are in the golden period of development, and immediate application of functional appliances can correct skeletal malocclusion.
4, fixed appliance correction
When you find that your child's new teeth are crooked, you should wear a fixed appliance immediately. As long as you find a problem with your child's teeth after changing teeth, you should immediately wear an appliance to correct it, and you must never take it off yourself. Generally, it can be worn for 2 years, which can alleviate the problem of long teeth.
5, the application of surgical correction
When children are found to have dentofacial deformities such as maxillary retraction, protrusion, mandibular protrusion and mandibular retraction after tooth replacement, it is impossible to deal with this problem simply by using correction. It is necessary to correct the teeth according to the method of orthodontics and surgery, so that the teeth can return to normal.
Warm reminder
During orthodontics, parents should let their children develop good dental habits, and they should not let their children breathe with their mouths open or suck their fingers. Immediately change the bad habit of children biting their lips with their teeth. Don't eat hard ingredients, such as dried fruits and their bones, which will do some harm to their teeth. Cultivate the good habit of brushing teeth and gargling in the morning and evening, and gargle with warm water or normal saline immediately after meals to prevent children from eating spicy and stimulating ingredients.
