Adenoid hypertrophy can lead to adenoid facies, and the clinical manifestations of adenoid facies are high arched palate and large gaps between incisors, etc., so there is a certain causal relationship between the two. The treatment needs to reduce the size of adenoids through medication or surgical treatment to relieve the blockage of upper airway to alleviate the state of open-mouth breathing; at the same time, it needs to go to the stomatology department for orthodontic treatment, and consult the clinic for large gaps between the teeth.
1. Medication: If accompanied by bacterial virus and other microbial infections, you need to receive anti-infective drugs, such as penicillin, roxithromycin and so on. Local inhalation of hormonal drugs such as mometasone furoate nasal spray can also be used to relieve inflammation and reduce edema.
2. Surgical treatment: for adenoids too hypertrophy with sexual secretory otitis media, sinusitis, as well as induced adenoid face, adenoidectomy should be carried out as soon as possible. If accompanied by tonsil hypertrophy, can also be carried out with tonsillectomy.
3. Orthodontic treatment: after lifting the upper airway blockage, the patient’s open-mouth breathing symptoms improve, and then go to the stomatology department for orthodontic treatment to correct the large gap between the incisors.
Adenoid hypertrophy leads to large gaps in the incisors, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor to choose the appropriate treatment options.
