Know what are the hazards of misaligned teeth. Straight teeth are the coordination of a person’s facial features. The beauty of the face will bring a lot of luck. However, misaligned teeth are very harmful to a person. The following cosmetic dentistry experts What are the dangers of misaligned teeth?
Causes of irregular dentition: Congenital factors: including genetics, dysfunction of the mother or the fetus itself, and problems in embryonic differentiation.
Acquired factors: It is the most common factor that causes misaligned teeth. There are the following aspects:
1. Children suffering from rickets, tuberculosis, indigestion, gastroenteritis, acute infectious diseases, and maxillofacial trauma, etc., or malnutrition due to nutritional disorders, or jaw deformity due to changes in the shape and structure of the jaw, resulting in uneven dentition.
2. Premature loss or retention of deciduous teeth. Children often lose their deciduous teeth prematurely due to untreated dental caries, or because of trauma. After the deciduous teeth fall out prematurely, a gap will appear. At this time, the permanent teeth have not yet erupted, and the teeth on both sides will move to the gap, making the gap smaller, and the permanent teeth that grow in the future will not have enough space, causing the permanent teeth to move towards the gap. Grows in the other direction, and the teeth are not aligned properly. The deciduous teeth have not yet fallen out when they should be replaced, resulting in retention of the deciduous teeth. The newly-grown permanent teeth overlap with the deciduous teeth because they have no place, causing misalignment. Therefore, early and late loss of deciduous teeth can cause the teeth to erupt out of alignment.
3. Bad habits of children. The most common ones are finger biting, thumb sucking, pencil biting, lip biting, lying down for breastfeeding, mouth breathing and unilateral chewing. These bad habits can cause individual teeth to be displaced by lateral forces or to deform the jaw so that the teeth are not aligned properly.
What is the harm of uneven dentition: It affects the development of the collar bone: Some teeth are not aligned properly, which can hinder the normal development of the upper and lower dental arches and jaws, making the deformity more and more serious.
Affect physical health: due to irregular teeth, or abnormal occlusal relationship, chewing things is not good, can not chew things finely. Swallowing large pieces of food will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, which can easily lead to gastrointestinal diseases and affect the growth and development of children over a long period of time.
Susceptible to dental disease: It is not easy to keep the mouth clean if the teeth are not neat. Because it is not easy to clean the teeth, tartar often accumulates in the gaps between the teeth, providing a place for bacteria to breed and multiply, making the teeth prone to caries, and the gums are also prone to inflammation. For some teeth with bad occlusal relationship, when chewing food, individual teeth collide with each other up and down, and the teeth are often subjected to abnormal pressure, which causes the periodontal supporting tissue to be subjected to excessive impact force, which can cause periodontal disease over time.
Interfering with correct pronunciation: When teeth are not aligned or there are gaps, speech and pronunciation will be affected.
Obstructing the appearance: For example, the dislocation of the tiger teeth and the protrusion of the upper front teeth make the face appear as open lips and teeth; crossbite makes the facial mandible protrude, and the lower lip protrudes in front of the upper lip, forming a small slumped mouth and so on.
Affects mental health: Children are often ridiculed by children due to their unsightly arrangement of teeth and incorrect pronunciation. Over time, some children will be stimulated mentally and ideologically, and gradually form an abnormal character of loneliness and inferiority. and mental retardation.
