Introduction to the sequelae of overbite correction

In life, especially many young friends are in the period of changing teeth, some of them will have overbite, which is very harmful to teenagers. Some friends can choose corrective surgery for overbite. But everyone should know that there will be sequelae after the operation. So how to prevent sequelae? Let me introduce it to you below.

1. Infection: Any surgery has the possibility of infection, especially the intraoral incision. Eating and other factors will increase the possibility of infection. After the operation, you should take antibiotics for 5-7 days as prescribed by the doctor.

2. Maxillary and mandibular fractures: When using an osteotome to strike the osteotome to remove harder bone tissue, excessive force may cause fractures.

3. Bleeding and postoperative hematoma: Bleeding is more during osteotomy and congestion is easy to form.

4. Nerve damage: Nerve damage may occur during the layer-by-layer peeling process.

5. Bilateral asymmetry: When removing bone tissue, it is possible to cause asymmetric removal of bones on both sides.

6. Unsatisfactory results: Too much bone tissue may be removed during the operation, resulting in other types of deformities, or too little may be removed and fail to achieve the desired results.

7. At the same time, after the maxilla is moved forward, the mid-face depression is also significantly improved. For some patients who have a low nose after underbite correction, rhinoplasty can be performed to further increase the three-dimensional effect of the mid-face.

As for the sequelae of overbite correction, everyone has read and understood it. In daily life, we suggest that children who are in the period of tooth replacement should not eat hard food and protect their teeth. To prevent the occurrence of overbite caused by the period of tooth replacement.
