What are the correctors for children's overbite?

As people's aesthetic requirements in modern society continue to increase, dental plastic surgery has emerged. Therefore, when some parents see their children have overbite, they all hope to use some corrective devices to better treat the symptoms of overbite. So what are the correctors for children's overbite? In response to this question raised by everyone, please discuss it with me in the next period of time.

The correction of "underbite" depends on the type of dental deformity and the growth and development of the individual. Severe and significant underbite should be treated at the age of four. If it is not corrected in time at around four years old, there is still a critical period, namely the replacement tooth period and the early eruption of permanent teeth, generally from 8 to 12 years old. During this period, the maxillofacial region grows and develops vigorously (the growth type of the human face during the permanent tooth period has been basically determined, especially the early stage of permanent dentition is often the peak period of growth and development). If the deformity is corrected in time, it can also achieve twice the result with half the effort. If it is not treated during this period, good results can only be achieved through tooth extraction or orthodontic surgery.

Under normal circumstances, when the upper and lower teeth of humans bite, the upper front teeth should bite the outside of the lower front teeth. If the opposite is true, that is, the lower front teeth bite the outside of the upper front teeth, this is called "anterior crossbite" or "crossbite" in medicine, commonly known as "underbite" or "underbite".

"Overbite" is a relatively common tooth and jaw deformity in children. In addition to genetic factors, many of them are caused by bad habits, such as incorrect breastfeeding posture - letting the baby lie on his back in bed, holding the bottle in hand to suck milk. In order to hold the nipple for easier sucking, the baby will try to stretch the lower jaw down, and over time the lower jaw will protrude forward. Other habits such as biting the upper lip and sucking fingers can also cause "overbite".

Experts say that children with mild crossbite on some of their teeth during the deciduous and replacement tooth periods can be treated with removable or functional appliances under the guidance of a doctor. When multiple teeth are crossbite or the deformity is severe, an orthodontist needs to use fixed braces to correct it. Especially during the period of replacement teeth and early permanent teeth (generally between 8 and 12 years old), the maxillofacial region grows and develops vigorously. If it can be corrected in time at this time, abnormal growth and development of the jaw can be avoided. After the crossbite of deciduous teeth (underbite) of some children is corrected, the crossbite may occur again after the permanent teeth (after 12 years old) erupt, and it needs to be corrected again. However, the crossbite at this time is basically dental crossbite, which is easier to correct.

The above paragraphs have given us a good introduction to children's overbite correctors. I sincerely hope that friends who have this need can read the above content carefully, so that they will have a deeper understanding and more proficient mastery of this question. Of course, what I want to tell you is that because children’s gums are not fully developed, you must be particularly careful when correcting overbite.
