Malocclusion deformity of the dangers and correction methods

One. Malocclusion of the dangers of

(A). Local hazardous 

1. The impact together maxillofacial development: in the process of children's growth, due to the malocclusion will affect the normal development of co-maxillofacial hard and soft tissues. Such as the former cross bite timely treatment under the arch to limit the development of the premaxillary, and the lower jaw there is no coordination between the upper and lower dental arch and over-forward development, so that the formation of the 1/3 of the face of depression and jaw protrusion deformity. With the malocclusion serious face showing the crescent-shaped face. Side of the cross bite or malocclusion causing facial asymmetry.

2. Affect the health of the oral cavity: malocclusion of the teeth crowded dislocation due to less self-cleaning of dental caries and gum periodontal disease, often due to tooth dislocation caused by periodontal damage.

3. Oral function: a severe malocclusion can affect the normal oral function, such as anterior open co pronunciation exception; posterior teeth lock together can affect chewing function; severe mandibular protrusion causing dysphagia; severe mandibular retrusion affect the normal breathing. Severe malocclusion can affect the function of the stomatognathic system, such as opening and closing of the anterior or posterior teeth can be reduced masticatory efficiency. Research, class Ⅲ bony deformity of the masticatory efficiency of 40% smaller than the normal co- Malocclusion can cause abnormal tongue position, so that change in swallowing activities each of the relationship between the position of the tongue and tooth, leaving swallowing dysfunction. Anterior opening and closing, can affect the pronunciation of mandibular prognathism, mainly as unusual pronunciation consonant frequency lower limit down. The frequency range wider, low-frequency component increased. Again malocclusion deformity co interference, early contact, for jaw opening and closing, protrusion, the limits of lateral movement and trajectory will be dental equipment abnormal. Will further affect the temporomandibular joint function and control of matter lesions.

4. Affect the facial appearance: the various types of malocclusion can affect facial appearance, can present open-lip grin, bimaxillary protrusion, long face, short face deformity.

(B). Systemic harm 

Malocclusion not only on the edentulous craniofacial the local cause harm and harm on the body, caused by indigestion and gastrointestinal diseases as a result of chewing function was reduced, In addition, the face of the deformity for patients can cause serious psychological and mental disorders .

Two. What are the methods of correction of malocclusion?

Treatment methods can be divided into preventive correction and after the onset of clinical correction, which includes blocking correction, general orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery treatment.

(1). Preventive correction: preventive correction of malocclusion means to take some precautions before malocclusion occurred, remove all possible cause malocclusion factors, to avoid malocclusion occurrence of attention to nutrition, such as the mother during pregnancy to prevent excessive radiation exposure and attention to drug use in order to prevent adverse affect embryonic development.

(2). Blocking correction: When malocclusion occurred early, by a simple method for early correction, blocking malocclusion to the serious development, the development orientation of the occlusal and maxillofacial normal referred to as the blocking correction. Appliance, such as oral bad habits; the early detection of the dentition serious crowded with sequential extraction treatment; deciduous prevention and treatment of early loss and retention; early crossbite correction.

(3). General orthodontic treatment: according to the different dent facial deformity selection of various types of appliance, major appliance object for young people, generally the more complex treatment methods. Common appliances: removable appliance, fixed appliance, functional appliance.

(4). surgical correction: refers to severe skeletal growth and development after the completion of maxillofacial deformities, surgery to correct.
