What to do if your teeth are uneven

Uneven teeth are quite common in our daily life. The medical term is malocclusion. It is mainly caused by congenital or acquired reasons during the child's growth and development, which is a dental symptom. In addition, oral hygiene problems, disease problems, etc. may also cause such symptoms. When uneven teeth occur, invisible orthodontics can be used to treat them. In addition, orthognathic surgery and dental correction are also common treatment methods.

What to do if your teeth are uneven

1. Invisible orthodontic treatment is a wire-free and bracket-free invisible correction technology that does not require brackets and wires. It uses a series of invisible appliances to gradually shift the teeth by applying appropriate and controllable force on the teeth, ultimately achieving the desired correction effect. Its transparent and self-removable features allow the correction process to be completed almost without being noticed by others, without affecting daily life and social interaction. 2. Orthognathic dental correction: This method improves tooth deformities by moving teeth over a larger distance. It is more suitable for patients with severe maxillofacial deformities, such as maxillary retrusion, mandibular protrusion, etc., who cannot be cured by general dental correction methods.

Not only does uneven teeth have a great negative impact on the physical and mental health of teenagers, but even adults with uneven teeth can have an impact on their social life. The main effects of uneven teeth: 1. It affects the health of the oral cavity. Crowded and uneven teeth make the teeth unable to clean themselves, and plaque and calculus accumulate, causing caries and inflammation of the gums and periodontium. At the same time, misaligned teeth and abnormal bite can also cause periodontal damage. Sparse teeth can easily cause food to get stuck and damage the health of the gums and periodontium. 2. Affects facial appearance. Various types of malocclusion affect facial appearance to varying degrees, which is also the direct reason why many patients request correction. Such as open lips and exposed teeth, bimaxillary protrusion, long face or short face deformity, etc. 3. Impact on maxillofacial development: During the growth and development of children, many dental and maxillofacial deformities caused by bad habits will affect the normal development of the soft and hard tissues of the maxillofacial region. For example, anterior crossbite, commonly known as "underbite", refers to the deformity of the lower front teeth being located on the lip side of the upper front teeth, which will restrict the development of the maxillary bone. The mandible develops excessively forward due to the lack of normal coordination, thus forming a mid-face depression and excessive protrusion of the mandible. Therefore, the anterior crossbite that affects the development of the upper and lower jaws should be corrected as early as possible to avoid further aggravation of the jaw deformity.
