What are the reasons for children's irregular teeth?

Etiology basically includes: genetic factors, bad oral habits, environmental factors, local obstacles in tooth replacement, etc.

① Genetic factors: The variety of human chewing food changed from coarse grains to flour and rice, which eventually led to the degradation of human chewing organs. The degree of degradation between jaw and teeth is inconsistent, which leads to the disharmony of the number of teeth and bones, crowded teeth and malocclusion. The offspring of parents with different occlusion shapes are usually more prone to malocclusion.

② Developmental factors: Malnutrition or illness of the mother during pregnancy will lead to fetal dentofacial dysplasia or abnormal development. Some acute and chronic inflammation in childhood can affect the growth and development of teeth, jaw, face and whole body.

③ Bad oral habits: Long-term bottle feeding may lead to malocclusion; The habit of sucking the thumb can cause the front teeth to open and the dental arch to narrow; Children have the bad habit of licking their teeth with their tongues when they spit out their tongues or erupt their teeth, which can lead to the opening of front teeth; The bad habit of biting the lower lip can make the upper anterior teeth lip-oriented, forming deep coverage of the anterior teeth and mandibular retraction; The bad habit of biting the upper lip can make the mandible protrude and the front teeth turn upside down; The habit of unilateral chewing can make the posterior teeth on the chewing side show an anti-jaw shape, the midline of the upper and lower dental arches tilt to the chewing side, and bilateral asymmetric deformity appears on the face.

The influence of children's irregular teeth?

1: Causes facial asymmetry, tooth space, crowded dentition, abnormal number and shape of teeth, eruption time, mandibular protrusion, maxillary protrusion, mandibular retraction, deep overlap, etc.

2. Vitamin D deficiency causes calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorder, which leads to jaw and dental arch deformity. Clinically, it often presents malocclusion such as mandibular protrusion, large mandibular angle, open front teeth and crowded dentition. Another example is endocrine diseases such as hypothyroidism and giant pituitary gland, which can also cause malocclusion.

3. Severe malocclusion will affect the normal oral function, such as abnormal swallowing, abnormal pronunciation, dysphagia, and dental caries or periodontal disease caused by crowded dislocation. Abnormal occlusion will lead to decreased chewing function and gastrointestinal diseases.

4. Causes the child's inner inferiority, introversion, unwillingness to talk with others, and unwillingness to laugh, which affects the child's physical and mental health development and future study and life.

When is the best time for orthodontics?

The dentition replacement period of 5- 12 years old is the key period of jaw development, and early prevention and intervention measures should be taken for children's malocclusion. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.
