Missing teeth, orthodontic treatment of children

Tooth crowding, protruding front teeth, protruding front teeth under the impact of oral function such as the dentition and facial appearance should be to correct. On the extent of dentition only need correction, parents or patients themselves for facial aesthetic requirements vary, it is difficult to determine a uniform standard, in fact, I think if the parents or patients with missing dentition affect oral function or facial appearance, since you can consult our department, and make a decision based on medical advice.

Generally, 12-year-old is the child the right age for orthodontics, mainly because 1. At this point most of the oral cavity has been the eruption of permanent teeth (but may be erupting second molar, and the third molar has not erupted), dental arch development has been completed, so the development of missing teeth has the basic shape; 2. This age child is still in the development dental equipment of maxillofacial growth and development of the fast phase, and depends largely on the use of orthodontics and maxillofacial growth and development potential so that the tooth movement and alveolar optimize the conversion efficiency; 3. At this point a child's psychological development has matured and began to focus on their facial appearance, to a certain extent, with the initiative to call for orthodontic motivation. Thus, this stage is basically when a child with the correct medical treatment. As the mouth and jaw growth and development of dental development is not Qi Fishing complexity, the best correction of the age is not an absolute concept, such as some seriously affect the normal growth and development of maxillofacial dental deformities, such as teeth, bite, severe dental crowding, etc. need to be started before the age of 12 observation or treatment. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the child's tooth development, if any are found, it is timely to our department for consultation.

Fixed orthodontic correction of technical and functional activities, technology is the correct missing teeth, the two main treatment. Fixed orthodontic technique is affixed to each tooth surface of the bracket and arch wire fixed on it, to move the teeth or displacement control, to achieve the Produce bad breath causes and prevention purpose of re-arrangement of the teeth; activities of functional correction technology is corrected by detachable devices , using a patient's maxillofacial growth and development potential, between the abnormal position of the jaw adjustment.
