How to correct bony overbite

Overbite is a more serious type of dental deformity, mainly caused by improper posture during lactation, and overbite is also hereditary. After the appearance of overbite, it is best to correct it in time, otherwise as you age, the tooth deformity will become more and more serious, and it will also increase the difficulty of treatment. In addition, the choice of time to correct children's overbite is also very important. So, how to correct bony overbite?

Correction method

1. Ordinary orthodontics: The commonly seen "iron teeth and steel teeth" correction method uses adhesives to stick the correction device to the teeth. Patients cannot take it off or put it on by themselves, and it can only be installed and adjusted by the orthodontist. It usually takes about 2 to 3 years, with monthly follow-up visits. The doctor gradually increases the force to move the teeth to the ideal designed state, and the orthodontic work is basically completed. After removing the braces, you will need to wear a retainer for a period of time to consolidate the orthodontic results and prevent recurrence.

2. Invisible orthodontics: Traditional orthodontic appliances are small iron pieces called brackets that are bonded to the teeth. Corrective arch wires are tied to them to move the teeth and achieve the purpose of correction. Invisible transparent orthodontics is a 3D computer technology that customizes a series of nearly imperceptible transparent trays to complete the entire correction treatment. Correction takes about 2 years.

3. Porcelain correction: First, a metal base is made of alloy, and then its surface is covered with low-melting porcelain powder similar to natural teeth, and then sintered and fused in a vacuum high-temperature porcelain furnace. Therefore, it has the strength of metal and the beauty of a porcelain crown. Its characteristics are that it can restore the morphology and function of the tooth, has strong fracture resistance and realistic color and appearance, a smooth surface, strong wear resistance and will not deform, and stable color. A successful porcelain restoration should have a realistic shape. It is a destructive treatment that causes damage to the teeth. According to clinical observation, the service life of porcelain teeth is eight years.

4. Bionic cosmetic crown correction: A new technology in dental beauty, it uses 3D digital positioning technology to comprehensively analyze the natural shape and color of the teeth, and develops the most suitable dental beauty plan based on the shape of the crown, root, and neck, combined with the examination of professional dental cosmetic physicians.

5. Micro-orthodontic correction: It adopts the joint correction method of plastic surgery and dental experts. Only part of the greenstick fracture is corrected. It only takes one hour, with minimal bleeding, low risk and fast recovery. The cycle is shortened from several months to two weeks, which is more natural than the traditional full-disconnection procedure. It can completely restore the normal jaw state and give you a perfect lower face.

Precautions

Do not eat sticky food; keep the mouth clean; children who are having their teeth straightened should eat less snacks; rinse your mouth with water or tea after meals; do not eat bones or hard-shelled foods.

During orthodontic treatment, in addition to following your doctor's instructions, you must also take good care of the braces on your teeth. First of all, you should avoid eating foods with hard texture, such as bone foods, crabs, nuts, etc. Also avoid eating large pieces of food, such as cutting apples into small pieces before eating. This can prevent the accessories of the corrector from loosening due to improper diet, so that the entire correction process can be completed smoothly.

Best time

Depending on the severity of the tooth deformity, the specific situation needs to be analyzed specifically. The correct age is not the same for childhood and adolescence. The medical principle of correcting overbite is to eliminate the cause as early as possible. Early correction can achieve good correction results and prevent the deformity from developing into a serious condition. Generally, mild crossbite of individual teeth can be treated by parents themselves under the guidance of a doctor. However, when multiple teeth are crossbite or the deformity is severe, braces or surgical orthodontic correction is required. Many cases of anterior crossbite can be corrected by a dentist to restore normal jaw function and facial beauty.

Generally speaking, mild cases of underbite of deciduous teeth do not need to be corrected temporarily. When the deciduous teeth fall out and are replaced by permanent teeth, some underbite deformities can be corrected by themselves. For severe and significant crossbite of deciduous teeth, it is best to treat it at the age of 4 years. During the tooth replacement period and the early stage of permanent teeth, the maxillofacial region grows and develops vigorously. If the crossbite is corrected in time, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort and can block the abnormal growth and development of the jaw in time. It is the critical period for correcting crossbite. The average age is 8 to 12 years old. Otherwise, only surgical orthodontic treatment can achieve good results.
