Should babies' overbite be corrected?

Overbite is a type of dental deformity. Patients with overbite often develop it in childhood, especially many infants who will develop it when their first deciduous teeth appear. However, the time to correct overbite should be determined based on the patient's physical condition. Because children will change their teeth once when they are six or seven years old, there is no need to worry about overbite at this time, and correction can be carried out if necessary.

Recovery time for underbite correction surgery .

Overbite is a type of dental deformity that seriously affects the appearance of the face. Moreover, malocclusion of the teeth will affect the pronunciation of language, causing certain distress and even lack of confidence. Therefore, many patients with overbite will choose to undergo overbite correction surgery. Let’s take a look at the recovery time of overbite correction surgery.

The recovery time for overbite correction surgery is related to the correction method.

Traditional overbite correction requires patients to wear braces for treatment, and part of the hair has to be removed, which takes a relatively long time. Generally, orthodontic treatment only takes about 2 years, but the degree of deformity varies from patient to patient, so the time required for overbite correction surgery also varies. Some patients must first undergo bone reconstruction and then undergo overbite correction surgery, which will inevitably take longer.

The more advanced orthodontic cosmetic surgery only takes one hour to complete, your appearance can be changed in one day, and you can return to normal life in three days. The cosmetic crown method is also a newer method, and it only takes 7 days to return to normal life.

It is important to mention here that the recovery time from overbite correction surgery is linked to a series of factors including the degree of disorder and design. It usually takes about one and a half to two years. It is faster for minors than for adults. The treatment time of tooth extraction is longer than that of non-extraction treatment. The treatment time of complex malocclusions and deformities is longer than that of simple malocclusions and deformities. The correction time of skeletal deformities is longer than that of simple dental deformities.

In fact, although the operation to correct overbite is complicated, the recovery time after the operation is not very long, so it will not have a big impact on our lives. As long as you keep in good contact with the doctor, go for follow-up visits on time, maintain oral hygiene and protect the braces from damage, the problem of overbite can be solved quickly.
