What are the dangers of deformed incisors

Incisor deformity is also a relatively common dental disease. It has many causes and is related to poor diet and improper tooth replacement care. Deformed incisors seriously affect the appearance of the face and cause certain psychological problems. In addition, they often lead to problems with oral hygiene and health, affecting the chewing function, which is quite harmful to patients.

1. Affect facial beauty

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

2. 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, and periodontal disease caused by malocclusion may induce systemic diseases such as myocarditis and nephritis when the body's immunity is low.

3. Affects oral and facial development

If dental and jaw deformities during children's growth and development are not corrected in time and at an early stage, 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.

4. Affect oral hygiene and 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.

5. Affect 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.

6. Affecting 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.

Tooth deformity is a very common dental phenomenon in life, which is mainly caused by some bad habits. The occurrence of tooth deformity will not only damage our personal image, but also increase the probability of patients suffering from oral diseases. Therefore, patients with tooth deformity must take appropriate treatment measures to solve the problem as soon as possible, otherwise it will only become more and more disadvantageous to us.
