“Bucked teeth” is the most common type of dental and maxillofacial deformity in the eastern race. Although it is not accompanied by serious functional impairment, it affects the appearance very much and can cause some diseases, which should be paid attention to.
Buck teeth affect the development of the craniofacial and maxillofacial areas: in the process of children’s growth and development, the teeth will affect the normal development of the soft and hard tissues of the maxillofacial region. If the anterior crossbite is not treated in time, the lower dental arch restricts the development of the premaxilla, and the mandible develops excessively forward without the coordination between the upper and lower dental arches, which results in the depression of 1/3 of the face and the mandibular protrusion deformity. With the severe malocclusion, the face presents a crescent shape.
Crooked teeth affect the health of the oral cavity: Too many teeth are prone to caries and periodontal inflammation due to the difficulty of self-cleaning. At the same time, periodontal damage is often caused by tooth dislocation. Crooked teeth affect oral function: Severe crooked teeth can affect the normal function of the oral cavity, such as abnormal pronunciation caused by the opening of the front teeth; severe mandibular retraction affects normal breathing. Crooked teeth affect the appearance: malocclusion such as broken teeth can affect the appearance, and may present deformities such as open lips and teeth, bimaxillary protrusion, upper and lower jaws or short chins.
