What to do if teeth grow backwards

During the process of tooth growth, we often encounter tooth deformities. However, it is relatively rare for some teeth to grow backwards. In order not to affect the normal growth of other teeth, we usually extract the inverted teeth. If the extracted teeth will not grow again, then we can consider using dentures to replace the missing teeth.

Causes

①Genetic factors: come from racial evolution and parental inheritance. During human evolution, as food changed from raw to cooked and soft, the chewing function gradually weakened, causing the oral and jaw organs to gradually degenerate. Among them, the jawbone degenerates faster than the teeth, resulting in the amount of teeth being greater than the amount of bones, resulting in dental crowding. Dental deformities of parents can be passed on to their children.

② Acquired factors: During the fetal period, the mother's illness, excessive radiation exposure and trauma can lead to congenital maxillofacial deformities in the fetus, such as cleft lip and palate combined with tooth deformities; pediatric diseases such as rickets, chronic rhinitis and palatine tonsillitis, incorrect bottle position and feeding posture during artificial breastfeeding, children's food is too soft, such as sticking out the tongue, sucking fingers, biting the lower lip, mouth breathing and unilateral chewing, early loss of deciduous teeth, retention, interproximal caries, supernumerary teeth and congenitally missing teeth during the tooth replacement period can all cause it.

Affects facial beauty

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

Affects overall health

The reduced chewing function caused by malocclusion will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and over time will cause indigestion or gastrointestinal diseases; oral diseases such as caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, etc. caused by malocclusion will induce systemic diseases such as myocarditis and nephritis when the body's immunity is low.

Affects oral and facial development

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

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.

Affects 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.

Impact on 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.
