Do protruding teeth need correction?

Dental problems not only make people feel annoyed, but also affect people's appearance. They also make eating unnatural, which has a great impact on our lives. When people have protruding teeth, they should consider the problem of protruding alveolar bones. Usually, the treatment effect can be achieved mainly through the use of correctors or medical oral surgery. These are relatively effective and can reduce damage to the surrounding areas of the teeth. Early correction is recommended.

Solution to alveolar bone protrusion

Methods/Steps

Corrected by functional correction device. Functional orthodontic appliances are usually used for children who are in the period of replacing teeth or who have just replaced their teeth and are still in the peak period of growth and development. Medically, it is believed that the application of functional orthodontic appliances can also correct slight alveolar bone protrusion.

Use removable braces for correction. This type of braces is generally used to correct milder malocclusions and alveolar bone protrusions during the deciduous and replacement dentition periods, or in conjunction with fixed braces for correction. This type of braces can be removed and put on by yourself.

Use a fixed correction device. Fixed orthodontic appliances are the most commonly used orthodontic appliances in dentistry. Under normal circumstances, patients wearing fixed braces are usually unable to take them off by themselves.

Surgical orthodontic treatment. Usually, severe dentofacial deformities, such as severe alveolar bone protrusion, maxillary retrusion or mandibular retrusion, etc., cannot be solved by simple correction. At this time, they must be solved through surgical orthodontic surgery and orthodontic combined correction.
