What to do with the land package?

If the child's teeth are changed before he comes for treatment, it will be a bit late. There are four rapid growth periods in the development of a child: the first is 3 weeks to 7 months after birth, which is mainly the increase in the depth and width of the face; the second is 4 to 7 years old, which is mainly due to the depth of the face; The third is between 11 and 15 years old, and the width and height of the face are mainly increased. The fourth period of rapid growth is between 16 and 19 years old. After the age of 11, the child's facial development is basically based on length, width, and height. The mandible has basically been developed. At this time, if the mandible is too long, it will be difficult to correct it.

Generally speaking, most children's tooth deformities have to be corrected after the replacement of the teeth, that is, the permanent teeth are fully grown. However, the "covered sky" cannot be treated after the replacement of the teeth, but needs to be treated as soon as possible. If the upper teeth are not arranged neatly, the best time for orthodontics is for girls before menarche, and for boys around 12 years old. However, if there is a "heterosphere", it should be earlier, because the growth of the jaws, that is, the bones around the teeth, is earlier than the development of the body. Because the jaws develop earlier, the "dibaotian" will affect the growth and development of the entire oral cavity, face, and jaws. If you wait until the permanent teeth period for treatment, some children will have to wear complicated orthoses such as "head caps" for orthopedics, which is not only time-consuming, but also expensive. If it is bigger, it will develop into bony cross-jaw deformity, and orthognathic surgery with more "engineering" is needed to change this bone deformity.

1. Deciduous teeth stage (4-5 years old): This period is mainly suitable for deciduous teeth inverted jaws (earth-covered sky). Early correction is conducive to maxillary development and prevents permanent teeth from inverted jaws. If the child has bad habits such as tongue sticking and lip biting, it can be corrected at this stage to prevent the occurrence of wrong jaws.

2. Tooth replacement stage (girls: 8-10 years old, boys: 9-12 years old): In the tooth replacement stage, if it is found that the child has bad habits such as lip biting, tongue extension, and jaw extension, as well as facial abnormalities and tooth arrangement For abnormal conditions, you should go to the hospital to check with a professional orthodontist in time to determine whether it is dental, functional or skeletal malocclusion, and clarify the treatment plan. Generally speaking, it can be treated with movable appliances and fixed appliances.

3. The stage of permanent teeth (girls: 11-14 years old, boys: 13-15 years old): At this time, the child's teeth have been replaced, and the bones have developed to a certain degree. The common malocclusion can be at this stage. Get a good treatment. The movable appliance cooperates with the fixed appliance for correction. At this time, the treatment can be coordinated with movable appliances, fixed appliances, and functional appliances.

4. Adolescence (girls: 13-18 years old, boys: 14-18 years old): At this time, although human bones are immature, they are basically stereotyped, and children are already familiar with their dental problems. With more active awareness, it is easier to cooperate with treatment. If it is dental or slight bony occlusion, it can still be corrected with braces.

5. Adulthood (18 years of age or older): Human bones are relatively mature (not absolute). At this time, in addition to the above-mentioned dentines, most of them are bony patients. Situations like this can be corrected by surgical orthodontics.

Matters needing attention Parents should pay attention to observe their children's oral habits. If you find that your child has bad habits such as biting pencils, sucking fingers, biting lips, and sticking out tongues, they should be corrected in time. Because some simple treatments are adopted in the early stage, the occurrence and development of the deformity can be blocked in a short time, and the effect can be doubled with half the effort. Orthodontic treatment not only allows children to have a charming smile, but also prevents the occurrence of diseases such as gum recession and loose teeth .
