What to do if your child has uneven teeth

Children are the hope of the family, the flowers and future of the motherland. If a child's teeth are deformed and have problems, then the child may not like to smile in the future, and even be affected psychologically. Parents of children with crooked teeth need to correct them in time, because early correction can prevent the child's teeth from recovering slowly.

Children are the hope of a family and the flowers and future of the motherland. If your child has dental deformities, it will have an adverse effect on the child's future growth and development. If parents do not correct it in time, it may cause irreparable harm to the child.

First, it may affect the normal function of children's oral function. If children's teeth are not straight, it may affect the occlusion relationship between the maxillary and mandibular teeth, resulting in a reduction in the occlusal area of ​​the dental arch and a decrease in the chewing efficiency of the teeth. In addition, severe malocclusion may affect the normal pronunciation and language expression of children.

Third, long-term uneven teeth will affect children’s facial growth and appearance. Teeth play the role of "brackets" in the entire facial growth. Malaligned teeth may affect the child's future maxillofacial development. That is to say, the child's face will become uglier and uglier, and there will be obvious local asymmetry, which may have a serious impact on the psychology of adolescent patients.

Generally speaking, the best age for correction of deciduous teeth is 3-4 years old. For correction of permanent teeth, girls should be around 12-13 years old, and boys should be around 13-15 years old. In other words, it is better to have dental correction during adolescence. After the age of 18, the correction effect will not be so ideal. Usually, children's dental correction should last at least one year.
