Will a bad bite of the teeth cause the face to be bigger and smaller?

Hello. Yes.

This condition is medically known as "relative facial asymmetry deformity due to poor hemi-chewing habits".

Hemichewing is more common in children and is more common in adults, which is mostly related to oral diseases. If there is a tooth lesion on one side, it is not timely** and dare not use it to chew food; Some teeth are missing and cannot be chewed in time after they are not restored in time; Some can only be chewed on one side for other reasons, such as tumors, trauma, local mucosal ulceration, etc. Therefore, timely prevention, dental and oral diseases are very important to correct hemichewing.

We often see patients who do not have a tooth disease in time due to fear of seeing a tooth, even if there are only a few in the mouth.

Good teeth, and still barely used. In fact, this kind of harm is very great, in addition to the aforementioned can form a bad side chewing habit, the most important thing is to increase the burden of the remaining healthy teeth, shorten the service life of these teeth; Long-term recurrent dental diseases and oral mucosal ulcers can also lead to systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, etc., and some can even become malignant. Statistical data show that many malignant tumors of the oral mucosa or gingiva are due to localized long-term ulceration and inflammation.

People with hemichewing habits should go to the hospital to find a dentist in time to understand the reasons for hemichewing habits and carry out them under the guidance of doctors. Individuals with severe deformities may be considered for plastic surgery. It is necessary to have a sense of oral preventive health care, early treatment of diseases, prevention of diseases, and regular examinations should be carried out in the hospital regardless of whether there is a dental disease, and it is best to fix the hospital and doctor by yourself.

Because teeth accompany a person's life, if there is a fixed dentist, you can better prevent, care and ** your teeth, and sometimes you may give your own dentist a ** can solve your problems. Try to save your teeth through scientific **, if you really can't keep it and must be extracted, you should be inlaid in time within a certain period of time, and fixed denture restoration is generally preferred.

Poor occlusion of the teeth will lead to a decrease in the efficiency of chewing on one side, and you will habitually use it to eat at the same time, and unilateral chewing will cause hypertrophy of the muscles on the multi-used side, and it will be asymmetrical. If you can chew and eat on both sides, you will generally have no problem.

Bad bite is affected, it will be big and small, and it will be jawless, but your current acquaintance dentist said that you don't need to correct it, then you will take it for a while, finish the medicine, and see if it will be, if it will, and then consider correcting it through surgery.

As long as the development of the upper and lower jaws is normal, it will not have much impact on the face shape, but if the teeth are misaligned and malformed and there is abnormal development of the upper and lower jaws, it will make the face shape uncoordinated and even have aesthetic defects. If a malocclusion is found, orthodontics should be corrected in time, specifically in the following three situations:

1. Malocclusion caused by the anterior protrusion of the upper and lower jaws or the anterior protrusion of the alveolar bone: it will be difficult to close the lips, or the muscles around the lips will be tightened when the lips are closed; When you open your mouth to smile, your teeth and gums may be exposed excessively.

2. Abnormal occlusion with too long maxillary development or too short mandibular development: the patient's maxilla has obvious protrusion of the maxilla, or the face shape of the mandible is retracted, and in severe cases, it will be difficult to close the lips and the upper front teeth will be exposed too much.

3. Improper occlusion of maxillary underdevelopment or mandibular underdevelopment: the appearance of the maxilla will be retracted, or the face shape with the mandible protrusion will be combined, commonly known as the earth baotian.

Not every patient with crooked teeth will affect the shape of the face, but if the teeth are maloccluded and malformed combined with abnormal development of the upper and lower jaws, this situation will affect the face shape, and we must also know that when the above three situations occur, people need to correct them as soon as possible to avoid harmful effects.
