Is running teeth hereditary?

Buck teeth are also called protruding teeth. This is a manifestation of tooth deformity. It has little effect on people's physical health, but it can cause very serious damage to the image and greatly reduce people's facial charm. The symptom of buck teeth is mostly caused by people's unreasonable living habits or oral habits, and is influenced by certain acquired factors. Is buck teeth hereditary? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

Buck teeth are a common dental deformity in life. Buck teeth are often manifested as open lips and exposed teeth. The lips cannot close naturally, and the gums are too exposed when smiling. It is often accompanied by chin retraction. When the mouth is forced to close, there is an obvious soft tissue bulge between the lower lip and the chin.

The formation of buck teeth is genetic. Whether buck teeth are inherited depends on the reasons why the parents developed buck teeth.

If the parents' buck teeth are congenital and hereditary, for example, the grandmother has buck teeth and the mother also has buck teeth (or the mother does not, but the aunt or uncle does), then the possibility of buck teeth being passed on to the child is particularly high. If the parents' buck teeth are acquired, such as thumb sucking, mouth breathing, cleft lip, etc., it can also cause buck teeth. This type of buck teeth is less hereditary.

It can be seen that whether buck teeth are hereditary depends on the reasons why the parents have buck teeth. In life, we can see that patients with buck teeth are generally not confident enough and dare not communicate with others. Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, buck teeth can be corrected with braces or cosmetic dental crowns.

Traditional braces correction for buck teeth: Traditional braces correction is mainly suitable for underage patients with buck teeth. Since minors are still in the growth and development period, if braces are used to apply external force at the right time, the protruding teeth can be put back in place. Generally speaking, after wearing braces for 2 years, you will see relatively good results.

Cosmetic crown to repair buck teeth: This method is mainly suitable for adults. Since the alveolar bone of adults has reached a stable state, using external force to correct it may cause the teeth to loosen. Therefore, it is most appropriate to use cosmetic crowns that do not require tooth extraction to repair protruding teeth. By using cosmetic crown restoration, you can completely get rid of the problem of buck teeth and have a set of healthy and white teeth in just 7 days.
