What are the signs of crooked teeth

Misaligned teeth, also known as malocclusion, refers to the deformity of teeth, jaws and craniofacial caused by congenital genetic factors or acquired environmental factors, such as diseases, bad oral habits, and abnormal replacement teeth in the process of growth and development. The factors and mechanisms of malocclusion are complex.

What are the manifestations of irregular dentition? 1. Eruption of teeth - deep coverage, this type of malocclusion deformity is manifested as the upper anterior teeth protruding outward, and the obvious lips cannot be closed naturally. Severe lower anterior teeth bite on the gums inside the upper teeth, and a row of teeth marks from the lower anterior teeth can be seen here.

Some people also have a pronounced protrusion of the upper jaw, while others have a short mandible, which appears to be chin tucked behind the upper lip and looks like a "bird-shaped face" when viewed from the side. 2. Bimaxillary protrusion, which refers to the protrusion of the upper and lower dental arches and anterior teeth, and in severe cases, the upper and lower lips cannot be closed naturally, forming a "lip opening and toothing". Smiling often leaves the gums too exposed, which is very unsightly.

3. Lower Pocket-Reverse (Occlusion) In medicine, the "lower Pocket" is called reverse (occlusion). In mild anti-occlusion, where only one or two upper anterior teeth are located inside the lower anterior teeth, it is called individual anti-occlusion. More severe forms of crossbite (occlusion) are caused by the mandible being too long or the maxilla underdeveloped.

Most of the anterior teeth are reversed (occlusion), the chin is prominent, and the face appears sunken "crescent" when viewed from the side of the human body. Fourth, the bite is too deep and the bite is not too deep, which is called deep overbite (occlusion) in medicine, which is manifested as too many upper front teeth covering the lower front teeth, and in severe cases, the lower teeth are completely covered by the upper teeth, and the lower front teeth cannot be seen from the front. Occlusion is medically known as open occlusion, which is manifested when the back teeth bite together, the front teeth still do not touch, and a gap appears between the upper and lower teeth.

People with significant deformities may feel unable to bite food with their front teeth. 5. Gap between the teeth in normal dentition is close to each other, and there is no gap between them. But some people have gaps in their dentition.

Most of these deformities are caused by the small size of the tooth and the large arch that houses the tooth. There are also people who suffer from periodontal disease for a long time, and the gap between the front teeth will also appear in the abnormal bite state, and this gap will become larger and larger, so that the four front teeth will spread out. 6. Irregular dentition is mainly manifested as the misalignment of teeth, inside and out.

The reason for this is that there are not enough "places" in the dental arch that can accommodate the alignment of teeth, and some teeth have to be crowded together. Less severe cases include twisting or crooked individual teeth, heavier cases in a small area where two or more teeth overlap each other, and in the most severe cases, some teeth are completely squeezed out of the arch and break out of the group.

Misaligned teeth, most notably crowded teeth or gaps in teeth. When the patient's teeth are crowded, the main manifestation is that the upper and lower teeth are not aligned properly, or there is a front-to-back arrangement, in this case, Xiamen Mei-Lai Dentist said that it is necessary to reduce individual teeth, and then perform orthodontics**. However, it is found that the gap between the teeth is relatively large, and the gap between the teeth can also be closed through orthodontics during restoration.

When the teeth are not aligned, most patients are prone to crowded teeth or gaps between teeth. If there is a gap between the patient's teeth, commonly known as cracked and loose teeth, such a situation can be done at the hospital dental clinic to close the gap between the teeth through orthodontics. The anterior-posterior alignment caused by crowded teeth can be done by reducing the number of teeth and then performing orthodontics. Consultation.

Having a mouthful of straight and white teeth will make your image better, many people are troubled by crooked teeth, but now that medicine is developed, the phenomenon of crooked teeth can be changed through orthodontics, so what is the best age for orthodontics? What are the causes of misaligned teeth? Let's take a look.

The best age for orthodontic treatment].

The best age for orthodontics is generally 12 to 18 years old, children at this stage are in the period of puberty, both the body and the teeth are in the peak development period, the orthodontic alveolar bone reconstruction is more active, and the effect of orthodontic treatment will be very good.

However, missing the best age for orthodontics does not mean that it cannot be corrected, age is not an absolute taboo in orthodontics, as long as your orthodontic conditions are met, very adults can do orthodontics**.

What causes misaligned teeth?

There are many reasons why teeth are not aligned, as follows:

1. It is related to extra teeth and ambush teeth. It is known that about 3% of people have extra teeth or dormant teeth, which are caused by the number of teeth that are not aligned.

2. Children's newborn permanent teeth are often very large, and at this time, children's jaws are still developing, so it is easy to appear "small sofa sitting on adults", resulting in irregular tooth arrangement.

3. Use your tongue against your new teeth. Many children are not used to changing their teeth, especially new teeth, and love to use their tongues to resist them.

4. It is related to the lack of bone mass in children's development, which is often manifested as the misalignment of lower teeth, which needs to be corrected after the child's teeth are basically aligned.

Orthodontics are necessary for some people, and it will affect you for the rest of your life, and a good tooth will not only bring you a good smile, but also good "luck".
