The hazards of missing teeth in children

Recently, our dental laboratory (Wanmei dental lab) was received so many cases about children’s dental restoration from domestic and overseas. Orthodontics for children is the treatment of malocclusion deformity through orthodontics or surgery when children are under 15 years of age. Malocclusion deformity refers to the deformities of teeth, jaws and craniofacial caused by congenital or acquired factors during the growth and development of children (The common maxillofacial deformities in children can be divided into: dental deformities and skeletal deformities. Dental deformities are divided into general dental deformities and functional deformities. Different types of deformities, the best correction time is also different).

The reasons for orthodontics mainly include genetic factors and environmental factors, and environmental factors include congenital and acquired factors.

Congenital factors refer to the various effects that the fetus receives during the growth and development of the mother's womb. It may be the nutritional and metabolic disorders of the mother or the fetus, the mother suffering from rubella or infection with the virus, the mother receiving trauma during pregnancy or birth injuries caused by childbirth.

Acquired factors refer to the effects of growth and development after birth.

So, what are the hazards of children with missing teeth?

First, affect the beauty of the face, such as irregular teeth, crowded, overlapping, tiger teeth, etc., will affect the beauty of the face.

Second, it is prone to dental disease. The teeth are not neat and overlapped. The gap between the teeth is not easy to be cleaned. The teeth are prone to caries and the gums are also prone to inflammation.

Third, because the upper and lower bite relationship is not good, it will affect eating, reduce the chewing function, increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, and affect health.

Fourth, sometimes it will affect the pronunciation. Various types of teeth are not aligned, such as the teeth are not neatly arranged or have larger interdental gaps, opening and closing, etc., which will restrict the patient's speech and pronunciation.

Fifth, some teenagers become inferior and affect their mental health because of their unsightly teeth. They are ridiculed by classmates or friends.

Sixth, it affects the development of the jaws, such as the ground and big teeth, which seriously affect the normal development of the jaws.

Many parents are prepared to take their children for orthodontics, but they are worried about the harm of children's orthodontics, whether orthodontics will hurt, whether orthodontics will affect daily study and life, the length of orthodontic treatment, and whether it is convenient for orthodontic treatment at any time. The problem has become the most concerned issue for parents.

High skilled technicians from WM China dental lab, processing so many cases from China and all over the world(our outsourcing dental lab partner), say that the golden age of orthodontics is the period of children and adolescents. The sooner the phenomenon occurs, the better. Generally, the best correction is between 3 and 5 years old. Except for the special case of the ground cover, the correction age of other malocclusion deformities is about 12 years old. At this time, the maxillofacial development of children is still in the rapid period of growth and development, and orthodontics also need to use the potential of maxillofacial growth and development. , In order to ensure that the efficiency of tooth movement and alveolar bone reconstruction reaches the best condition, so as to achieve perfect correction results.

Therefore, as long as you choose a regular hospital, follow the doctor's instructions to pay attention to post-correction care, and review regularly, parents should not worry too much about the harm of their children's orthodontics.
