What should I do if my child's front teeth grow crooked?

Most children will grow teeth around the age of seven, but during the tooth replacement process, if you do not pay attention to maintenance, the newly grown teeth will grow crooked. If a child's front teeth grow crooked, you must go to the hospital for correction in time, otherwise the teeth will continue to grow crooked along the previous trend, which will greatly affect the beauty and appearance. During the period when children are replacing their teeth, parents can let their children eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins. It has certain benefits for the growth of teeth.

Generally speaking, as children's teeth grow slowly, crooked teeth may improve, but it does not mean that the teeth can grow to the ideal degree. If a child's teeth do not grow to the ideal length, parents may consider taking their children to a regular hospital to correct crooked teeth when they are around 14 years old. Many parents are very anxious when they see their children’s front teeth growing crooked, worrying that it will affect their children’s future work and life. In fact, pushing teeth with hands is also a better choice. Parents are advised to encourage their children to push their teeth with hands after meals. Children will feel slight pain at first, but the feeling will ease after adapting for a period of time. Generally speaking, you should push hard at least three times a day, each time for about an hour (the longer the time, the better the effect).

1. Generally, when the incisors grow crooked in childhood, it is mostly related to improper care during the period of deciduous teeth. It is possible that the bottom of the deciduous teeth did not fall off cleanly, or the damage of the deciduous teeth caused different problems in the alveolar sockets. You can observe whether the crooked phenomenon will be alleviated by itself as the incisors grow. After the incisors have fully grown out, go to the dental clinic for examination and treatment.

2. Because the shedding and regrowth of deciduous teeth will be accompanied by varying degrees of pain and itching in the gums, this phenomenon will cause some children to develop the habit of biting their fingers, lips, and sticking out their tongues, causing the front teeth to become crooked when they grow. Parents should pay attention to remind their children not to make actions that cause their teeth to not grow correctly.

3. After the child's permanent teeth have grown, if the front teeth have grown crooked due to various reasons and have not changed at all, they need to be corrected through orthodontic treatment. You can go to a regular dental clinic and discuss solutions with the dentist based on the specific conditions of the different front teeth.
