Self-correction of maxillary protrusion

Many people do not know the location of the maxillary bone. The maxillary bone is located in the middle of the face. There is one on the left and one on the right, connecting the midface. Maxillary protrusion is caused by bacteria. If maxillary protrusion can cause facial deformation and make eating and swallowing difficult, how can it be treated? Self-correction of maxillary protrusion is a good solution.

Maxillary protrusion is generally caused by bacteria and is divided into two types: chronic pharyngitis and acute pharyngitis. It can be treated with anti-inflammatory tablets under the guidance of a doctor. You can usually drink monk fruit tea. In terms of diet, you must pay attention to avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of water, and you can take an appropriate amount of vitamin C for treatment.

Self-correction methods for maxillary protrusion: maxillary protrusion, deep overbite or open bite, lips are open in normal resting state, and more than 2/3 of the incisors are exposed. The gums are more exposed when smiling. In order to make the protruding maxilla retract to its normal position, the teeth were extracted 2 weeks before the operation, followed by osteotomy.

1) An incision can be made above the maxillary vestibule groove parallel to the long axis of the tooth, and an incision of the same length can be made in the anterior midline along the direction of the labial frenulum.

2) Incise the mucoperiosteum and use a dissipator to dissect upward and to both sides under the periosteum to expose the anterior nasal spine, the lower edge of the piriform aperture, and both sides of the nasal floor to the outer edge of the maxilla.

3) Use methylene blue to mark the mandibular osteotomy line, and then go up along the apical direction to the plane 5 to 10 mm below the lower edge of the piriform foramen, and then go inward and upward obliquely to the piriform foramen to mark the width of the resected bone, which is generally 5 to 8 mm.

4) Use a melon-shaped drill bit to cut the anterior wall of the maxillary bone along the marked osteotomy line. When approaching the palatal mucoperiosteum, first insert a dissipator along the inner side of the osteotomy plane close to the palatine bone, dissect the mucoperiosteum to create a small tunnel, and place the dissipator in it to protect the palatal mucoperiosteum. After cutting off both sides, use a small bone chisel to cut off the unbroken parts of the vomer of the nasal septum and the anterior part of the maxilla. Note that when breaking the vomer, the operator's right index finger should be extended into the palate for protection.

5) After the maxillary bone is completely severed and the bite relationship is adjusted to normal, it is fixed with a micro steel plate screw or a simple wire ligature dental arch plate.
