Children's overbite correction

Overbite in children is a relatively common dental deformity. If children have overbite, timely correction can be carried out to ensure that the child will have a beautiful set of teeth when he grows up. There are many methods to correct overbite in children, such as removable braces and fixed braces, etc. Through certain corrections, the overbite phenomenon can be significantly improved. Let’s take a look at this aspect.

Children's overbite correction

Removable braces: They are generally used to correct relatively simple malocclusions and deformities during the deciduous and replacement dentition periods, or can be used in conjunction with fixed braces. Patients can put it on and take it off by themselves. Fixed braces: the most commonly used braces. Patients cannot take it off by themselves. Functional appliances: They are mainly used for children who are in the period of tooth replacement or have just replaced their teeth and are still in the peak period of growth and development. Functional appliances can correct bone malocclusions and deformities. Orthognathic surgery: When severe dentofacial deformities, such as maxillary protrusion, maxillary retrognathic, mandibular protrusion, and mandibular retrognathic, cannot be solved by simple correction, a combined correction method of surgery and orthodontics is required.

Check steps

The following examinations are generally required before correction: 1. Tooth impression: (i.e. taking a model) is used by the doctor to diagnose and plan the situation, and to make comparative examinations during subsequent treatment. 2. Photography: Before treatment, the doctor should take regular photos of the patient's face and occlusion, which will be used for comparison at the end of treatment.
