Is the best time for treatment of children s teeth?

As children age, their tiny baby teeth are no longer able to adapt to the growing jaws and their growing chewing power. Baby teeth fall out physiologically from around the age of 6 and are replaced by permanent teeth around the age of 12. Due to the growth and development of the germ of the permanent tooth in the jaw bone and the transfer of work to the occlusal surface of the tooth, the root tissue of the deciduous tooth is absorbed, and the deciduous tooth gradually loosens, and finally causes loss.

Lost baby teeth have no roots, and the lost surface is encroached. When a child's baby tooth is lost, it should be observed so that it can be distinguished from the broken root of the baby tooth.

It is worth mentioning that during the alternation of primary and permanent teeth, the arrangement of the teeth is often intricate and sometimes even chaotic, which is medically called temporary malocclusion. Some parents are very worried about this and ask the doctor to give correction as soon as possible. In fact, the human teeth have a potential tendency to align neatly, when the primary permanent teeth alternate, the tooth alignment has the possibility of self-adjustment, before the replacement of the primary permanent teeth is not completed, there is no need to rush to correct the treatment, should be observed and followed-up, some children's permanent teeth will be slowly aligned.

Even if correction is required, it should be done after the alternation of the primary permanent teeth has been completed. Usually at the age of 13 to 15 years, when the eruption of permanent teeth has reached a certain height, the production and wearing of each appliance can be accurate and effective. The dentist pointed out that if the child has old and new teeth when changing teeth, the baby teeth should be extracted.

When a baby tooth is removed, the permanent tooth will slowly move to the original position of the baby tooth due to the force of the tongue pushing, and if there is enough space, the permanent tooth will grow straight. If the juxtaposition of old and new teeth is ignored, it may cause irregular tooth alignment, malmeshing, and tooth decay due to incomplete cleaning. Therefore, parents should pay special attention to the overlap of old and new teeth during the child's tooth replacement period and deal with it correctly.

By the age of 12, most of the permanent teeth in the mouth have erupted, and the crooked teeth have basically been formed. During this period, the child's maxillofacial development is still in a period of rapid growth and development, so that the efficiency of tooth movement and alveolar reconstruction can reach the best level. In addition, the child's psychological development has become more and more mature at this time, so dentists generally believe that the age of 12 is the best time for orthodontics.

The sooner orthodontic correction is performed in children, the better, and the effect is most obvious during the child's growth and development (girls are 10-12 years old).

It is recommended to go to a regular hospital and listen to the advice of a professional doctor.

The sooner the hereditary crossbite correction is, the better, but it also has to be corrected at the peak of the development of the jaw to get twice the result with half the effort, and you can make your own chin pocket. Wear it at night when you go to bed to control the growth and development of the mandible. It is best to be more scientific under the guidance of a doctor and be able to correct it.

Let's start again at the age of six.

The child is too young.

If it is hereditary, to be honest, it is difficult to change, and it is not as effective as surgery in the future.

Occlusion inductionOcclusal induction refers to the method of guiding the growth and development of teeth along the normal physiological position of occlusion during the period of tooth development. This method can enable children to get rid of many drawbacks caused by traditional bracket orthodontics, and can better achieve the effect of correction.

Traditional orthodontic methodsThat is, the common steel wire braces orthodontics, the orthodontic device is cemented to the teeth with adhesives, and the patient cannot take them off by himself, but can only be assembled and disassembled by the orthodontist and adjust the afterburner. Follow-up appointments are required once a month, and the doctor gradually presses the teeth to move. After removing the braces, it is necessary to wear the retainer for a period of time to consolidate the orthodontic results and prevent **.

Surgical correction modalitySome of the infragnathic malformations cannot be solved by simple orthodontics, and some corresponding surgical operations must be done, and ordinary orthodontics must be carried out at the same time to achieve satisfactory orthodontic results.

Principles1. Eliminate ** as soon as possible.

2. Early orthodontic treatment can receive good orthodontic effect and prevent the deformity from developing severely.

3. Symptomatic correction.

4. For those who need surgery, they can be used for routine anti-susceptibility drugs before and after surgery.

**Precautions

1. There are two main points to pay attention to after orthodontic correction. That.

1. Orthodontics is the installation of brackets and archwire devices on the teeth. During the correction process, you should avoid eating candy, chewing gum and other foods, which will make the process of ** prolonged on the food adhesion device. The second is that after the correction is completed, the retainer needs to be worn for a certain period of time every day after the device is removed.

If you don't wear it consistently. will greatly increase the probability of **.

2. Surgical orthodontics are surgical correction of in-earth teeth. The first thing to pay attention to in the early postoperative period is to eat a liquid diet and slowly follow the doctor's advice. Returning to a normal diet, followed by oral hygiene Because of the surgery, the wound will be exposed in the oral cavity, and the infection caused by bacteria should be avoided to destroy the surgery, and the mouth can generally be rinsed with tea after meals.

3. For orthodontics and surgical orthodontics, it is necessary to change the previous bad oral habits after orthodontic correction, such as incorrect brushing methods, regular dental check-ups, etc. There is also the habit of paying attention to the habit of using teeth, do not do the habit of gnawing bones casually, and protect your teeth in order to have long-term stability.

The best age for orthodontics for children is around 3 to 5 years old. Children need to be in time after the appearance of the earth, so as not to have a certain impact on the child's later life, about 3-5 years old is the growth stage of baby teeth, at this time the correction effect is better, and the child's tooth growth base filial piety will not be affected by the skillful Bu Duancheng. If the child is too young, he or she may not cooperate with the doctor, and if he is too old, it may lead to a longer correction time, and it may also affect the development of the upper jaw.
