What to do if teeth protrude

Teeth are very important chewing organs in our body, and dental health is also related to our image. The problem of tooth deformity is very easy to occur. The most typical one is protruding teeth. For some people, it is caused by genetics, while for others, it is caused by environmental factors. In addition to affecting normal function, it looks very ugly. So, what should we do if teeth protrude? Let’s look at the solution below.

reason

The main reasons include genetic factors and environmental factors.

Environmental factors include congenital factors and acquired factors.

Congenital factors refer to the various influences that the fetus is exposed to during its growth and development in the mother's womb.

Acquired factors refer to the influences on the growth and development process after birth.

(1) Disease: Certain acute infectious diseases and certain chronic wasting diseases may affect the development of teeth and jaws. Endocrine dysfunction or malnutrition, especially vitamin deficiency, may affect the development of teeth and jaws.

(2) Abnormal breathing and swallowing functions may affect the development of teeth and jaws.

(3) Bad habits such as biting fingers, biting upper lip or lower lip, sticking out tongue or tongue out.

(4) Problems that arise during the period of primary teeth or replacement teeth. The causes of uneven teeth include premature loss of deciduous teeth, delayed loss of deciduous teeth, premature loss of permanent teeth, and disordered eruption order of permanent teeth.

Correction method

Removable braces: They are generally used to correct relatively simple malocclusions and deformities during the deciduous and replacement dentition periods, or can be used in conjunction with fixed braces. Patients can put it on and take it off by themselves.

Fixed braces: the most commonly used braces. Patients cannot take it off by themselves.

Functional appliances: They are mainly used for children who are in the period of tooth replacement or have just replaced their teeth and are still in the peak period of growth and development. Functional appliances can correct bone malocclusions and deformities.

Orthognathic surgery: When severe dentofacial deformities, such as maxillary protrusion, maxillary retrognathic, mandibular protrusion, and mandibular retrognathic, cannot be solved by simple correction, a combined correction method of surgery and orthodontics is required.
