Children with severe upper gum exposure may be caused by malocclusion, low attachment of upper lip tie, etc. Orthodontic and surgical treatments are needed according to the situation.
1. Malocclusion: its onset may be related to congenital development, bad oral habits, obstacles in tooth replacement, and some systemic diseases. Orthodontic treatment is usually needed to correct the growth pattern of teeth and jaws, and maintenance is also needed after treatment to prevent recurrence.
2. Upper lip tie attachment is too low: If the upper lip tie attachment position is too low, it may cause the symptom of exposed gums, and it may affect the development of teeth for a long time, resulting in deformity, and generally need to be treated with lip tie lengthening surgery.
Parents are advised to take their children to the hospital for examination and early treatment.
