What should I do if my child has new teeth growing behind his front teeth?

Many children are in the stage of growing teeth when they are a few years old. During this period, it is often found that their teeth grow crooked. This is a very common phenomenon. The parents are the most anxious when their children's teeth grow crooked. Many parents think that this is not good for the future and it looks unsightly, so they don’t know what to do. Today, the editor will tell you what to do if the child’s teeth grow crooked because another tooth grows behind the front teeth.

When children are in the period of deciduous teeth, simple problems of malocclusion during this period are likely to gradually improve or even recover due to the child's own development. At this time, the growth and development of new teeth are in a relatively rapid period, and removable braces can be used. Parents should pay attention to their children's dental habits during this period and avoid eating hard bones and nuts.

Like removable braces, functional braces also play a temporary role. Their purpose is to help children's teeth grow into a normal position. They are mainly used for children who are in the period of tooth replacement or have just replaced their teeth and are still in the peak period of growth and development. Functional braces can correct bone malocclusions and deformities.

Fixed braces are more suitable for children in the permanent teeth period. If you find that the child's teeth are not aligned properly or the child's teeth are sparse, these problems can be treated better. Fixed braces cannot be removed by themselves and the wearing time is about 1-2 years. The best age for correction is 12-15 years old. At this time, the jaw bone is very plastic, the teeth move quickly, and recover quickly. It is different for adults. The jawbone is denser, so the teeth move more slowly. If the corrective force is not properly controlled or is too strong, it will cause root resorption, making it difficult for the teeth to grow strong. Some teeth may need to be maintained for life.

The editor has also told you above that it is a very common phenomenon for children to have crooked teeth. It does not only happen to your child. So when this happens, parents don’t need to be too anxious. Just find a dentist to take a look. This is not a very serious situation and can be easily solved.
