What causes children's front teeth to turn outward?

The pursuit of beauty is believed to be the goal of everyone, including people of all ages, and young children are no exception. Some children have protruding front teeth, which is very detrimental to the child's own image. Due to the child's young age, this situation may also cause some psychological impact on the child. So, what is the reason why children's front teeth turn outward?

First, what is the reason why children's front teeth turn outward? Generally, buck teeth are a very serious deformity, the upper jaw is too high, and the clinical manifestation is often a gummy smile. This deformity is more difficult to correct than ordinary buck teeth and everted teeth. It is also more likely to make children feel inferior, afraid to communicate with others, afraid to laugh, and even seriously affect their academic performance. During the tooth replacement period, mild crowding can be observed and not treated for the time being. In severe cases, it manifests as misalignment of individual or multiple teeth in various directions. Crowded teeth also hinder the cleaning of local teeth and are prone to tooth decay, gingivitis, etc.

Second, the lower teeth cover the upper teeth, which seriously affects the appearance of the face, causes a decrease in eating and chewing function, increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and thus affects physical health. Sometimes it will affect pronunciation, lead to ridicule, and affect mental health. That is, if individual front teeth or two teeth are cross-bite, it is extremely harmful. It will affect the normal development of the upper face and cause the upper lip to become sunken. Moreover, its potential harm is that it is most likely to cause temporomandibular joint disorder in children when they grow to 30 to 40 years old. Due to decayed or missing teeth on one side, eating with the other side for a long time or other reasons, the facial asymmetry may occur, which seriously affects the child's mental health and self-esteem.

What is the reason why children's front teeth turn outward? It is because the jaw is underdeveloped and has a small chin, commonly known as a bird's beak. It affects the appearance of the face. At the same time, because the lower teeth are too narrow, the development of the upper teeth is restricted, which also affects the function. If deciduous teeth fall out prematurely before they are replaced, the local jaw bone will be underdeveloped. The position of the missing teeth may be partially or even completely occupied due to the displacement of adjacent teeth, resulting in misplaced eruption or impaction of permanent teeth, forming jaw deformity. When the deciduous teeth have not fallen out by the time of replacement, the eruption of the permanent teeth will be blocked, resulting in abnormal eruption order, misplaced eruption, or impaction, causing malocclusion and improper tooth arrangement. Mouth breathing during sleep is mostly caused by nasal obstruction or adenoids hypertrophy, which leads to poor nasal breathing, eversion of the lips, short and thick lips, high and arched upper palate, narrow face, protrusion, long face, retracted chin and inability to close the back teeth.
