Why do children have deformed teeth?

People grow and develop throughout their lives, and development begins to slow down in old age. Development during childhood is the fastest stage in a person's life. During this stage, the organs in the body begin to develop slowly and healthily, but not all developments are normal. Some people will have developmental abnormalities. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of tooth deformities in children and what causes them.

Dental deformity refers to the deformity of teeth, jaw, and craniofacial structure caused by congenital genetic factors or acquired environmental factors during the growth and development of children. Such as uneven tooth arrangement, protruding upper teeth, protruding chin, crooked mouth, etc. With the continuous deepening of clinical research, the concept of modern dental deformity is far more than just referring to the misalignment and uneven arrangement of teeth, but refers to a variety of deformities caused by the imbalance between teeth and craniofacial region.

①Individual teeth are misaligned.

② Abnormal dental arch morphology and tooth arrangement.

③ Abnormal occlusion between the upper and lower dental arches.

reason:

①Genetic factors: come from racial evolution and parental inheritance. During human evolution, as food changed from raw to cooked and soft, the chewing function gradually weakened, causing the oral and jaw organs to gradually degenerate. Among them, the jawbone degenerates faster than the teeth, resulting in the amount of teeth being greater than the amount of bones, resulting in dental crowding. Dental deformities of parents can be passed on to their children.

② Acquired factors: During the fetal period, the mother's illness, excessive radiation exposure and trauma can lead to congenital maxillofacial deformities in the fetus, such as cleft lip and palate combined with tooth deformities; pediatric diseases such as rickets, chronic rhinitis and palatine tonsillitis, incorrect bottle position and feeding posture during artificial breastfeeding, children's food is too soft, such as sticking out the tongue, sucking fingers, biting the lower lip, mouth breathing and unilateral chewing, early loss of deciduous teeth, retention, interproximal caries, supernumerary teeth and congenitally missing teeth during the tooth replacement period can all cause it.

The development in childhood may be a state that will accompany you throughout your life, so you should pay special attention to your child's development during childhood. Bad habits are the main cause of developmental abnormalities, and everything must be started from childhood. If children exhibit bad behavior, mothers should be able to help them correct it in time.
