What should I do if my child has buck teeth?

If children do not pay attention to oral hygiene when their teeth are changing, or if they lick their teeth with their tongue when their deciduous teeth are growing, this can easily cause the child to have buck teeth. Buck teeth in children will seriously affect their normal appearance and will reduce their self-confidence in life. So how should buck teeth be corrected? Let’s take a look with the editor below!

1. Fixed appliance

Brackets, bands and other devices are bonded to the tooth surface with adhesives. Patients cannot take them off by themselves and can only be removed by doctors using professional instruments. It is the most commonly used orthodontic appliance in clinical practice with the highest correction efficiency. There are labial braces and lingual braces.

2. Removable appliance

Attached to teeth or mucous membranes, patients can take them off and put them on at will. It is generally used to correct relatively simple malocclusions in deciduous teeth and replacement teeth.

3. Invisible braces

It is a personalized design based on the patient's dental morphology, which simulates tooth movement through computer three-dimensional imaging technology and uses digital molding technology to produce multiple pairs of braces made of elastic transparent polymer materials. Patients can take them off and put them on by themselves, and the correction is completed almost without anyone noticing, without affecting their daily life and social life. However, it is expensive and has limited indications, and cannot correct complex malocclusions.

4. Functional car controller

It is 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. It uses the functional force of the masticatory muscles or perioral muscles to guide the growth of the jaw and correct mild to moderate functional and skeletal malocclusion.

5. Orthognathic surgery

Severe bone deformities, such as maxillary protrusion, maxillary underdevelopment, mandibular protrusion, mandibular retrognathia, etc., require combined orthodontic and orthognathic treatment. Orthodontic treatment alone cannot effectively improve the patient's facial shape.

If the teeth are deformed, the editor reminds parents to take their children to the hospital for correction while they are still young. Otherwise, it will have a great impact on Antong's appearance, because children's teeth not only affect the beauty of the teeth, but may also cause children's physical and mental development to be imperfect.
