What to do if your teeth are crooked

Crooked teeth are uneven teeth, which is called malocclusion. It is mainly caused by some congenital or acquired factors during the growth and development of children, such as poor oral cavity, frequent sucking of fingers in childhood, etc. When the teeth are crooked, they must be treated in time. The most common treatment is orthodontic treatment. Through good correction, the teeth can gradually become straight.

What to do if your teeth are crooked

1. Invisible orthodontic treatment

The wire-free and bracket-free invisible orthodontic technology does not require brackets and wires. It uses a series of invisible orthodontic 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 surgery

This method is to improve tooth deformities by moving teeth over a larger distance. It is more suitable for those with severe maxillofacial deformities, such as maxillary retrusion, mandibular protrusion, etc., who cannot be improved by general orthodontic methods.

3. Digital Crown Treatment

Digital crown technology is an emerging dental beauty method popular in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea that can quickly correct crooked teeth. It uses the latest digital positioning technology, American painless technology and other internationally advanced dental technologies and concepts, with the advantages of beautifying teeth without tooth extraction, no pain, short time, strong teeth, and no black lines on teeth after many years, thus achieving a long-lasting and guaranteed beautiful teeth effect.

harm

1. Affects oral health. Crowded and uneven teeth make it impossible for teeth 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 occlusion can also cause periodontal damage. Sparse teeth can easily cause food impaction 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.
