Orthodontic surgery

Generally, the most common oral deformity is tooth deformity. Tooth deformity not only affects the appearance but also the facial development. If children are laughed at, it will also affect their mental health. Therefore, when tooth deformity is discovered, it is best to correct it as soon as possible. As long as you go to a regular dental hospital, there will be no side effects. Be sure not to go to a small private dental hospital, as it may cause infection if it is not disinfected properly.

Affects facial beauty

Dental deformities have the most direct impact on facial beauty. Malformations such as overbite, open lips and exposed teeth, and mandibular deviation will greatly reduce a person's overall image.

Affects overall health

The reduction in chewing function caused by malocclusion will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, which may cause indigestion or gastrointestinal diseases over time. Oral diseases such as caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, etc. caused by malocclusion may induce systemic diseases such as myocarditis and nephritis when the body's immunity is low.

Affects oral and facial development

If dental and jaw deformities are not corrected in time during children's growth and development, it will affect the development of soft and hard tissues in the oral cavity and face, causing obvious facial deformities. Such as overbite, parted lips and showing teeth.

Affects oral health

Malocclusion of teeth and other dental deformities, poor self-cleaning of teeth, and ineffective brushing make it difficult to remove food debris and plaque. Over time, it is easy to suffer from oral diseases such as caries (cavities), tartar (tartar), gingivitis (bleeding gums), etc. Severe cases can develop into periodontal disease, causing loose and falling teeth.

Affects oral function

Some dental deformities may affect oral function. For example, if the front teeth are open-bite, pronunciation is unclear; if the patient has an overbite or a lockbite, the contact area when biting is smaller than that of normal people, and the chewing efficiency is greatly reduced; a deep overbite will affect the movement of the mandible, causing abnormal movement of the temporomandibular joint, the moving joint of the mandible, causing pain and easily fatigued facial muscles.

Impact on mental health

Some children and teenagers are laughed at by their classmates or friends because of their ugly teeth, which causes them to feel inferior and seriously affects their mental health.
