Dibaotian is medically called crossbite (bite), which is a very harmful malocclusion. In medicine, the principle of correcting crossbite (bite) is early correction to prevent deformity.
At present, there is a common misconception about it in the society: deciduous teeth cross (bite) does not need treatment, and it is not too late to do it after the child has changed his teeth.
In fact, the cross-bite (occlusal) in the deciduous stage is very harmful. If it is not treated in time, in the permanent tooth stage, the cross-bite (occlusal) will change from a cross-bite (occlusal) to a bony deformity, and the entire facial shape will change. It can’t be straightened by moving the teeth, or even straightened.
Children under the age of 4 are too young to cooperate with doctors in making and wearing braces. And children over 4 years old already have a certain ability of self-control, so doctors generally advocate treatment of cross-bite (occlusal) from the age of 4 years.
In the deciduous stage or the alternation of deciduous and permanent teeth, individual teeth are slightly crossed (occlusal), which can be treated with movable appliances under the guidance of a doctor. Correction with fixed aligners.
At the same time, due to the hereditary and recurrent characteristics of most cross-bites (bites), some children may experience cross-bites (bites) again after the eruption of permanent teeth after deciduous teeth (bites) are corrected. Correction to adulthood is an effective way to consolidate the curative effect and completely cure crossbite (bite).
