Diastemas can affect the growth and development of the entire mouth, face and jaws, and can have a significant impact on the child’s body and mind. What is a kyphosis? How to prevent it? 1.What is “Diastema”? The normal front teeth bite relationship is that the upper front teeth cover the front of the lower front teeth. If the opposite phenomenon, that is, the lower front teeth are located in front of the upper front teeth, is often referred to as the “integumentary”, medically known as anterior teeth jaw. The “envelope”, a disease of oral malocclusion, is a common malocclusion in children in China, the oral function, facial aesthetics and mental health has a more serious impact, and with the growth of patients age symptoms gradually aggravated. 2.Why does “Geodontia” appear? (1) Genetic factors If one of the parents is anti-jaw, the baby has the possibility of heredity, and this possibility accounts for 1/3; (2) incorrect breastfeeding posture or the baby likes to sleep with the bottle are prone to the formation of geodesic; (3) improper parenting, such as let the baby develop a lot of finger sucking, lip biting, biting objects, tongue, jaw forward and other bad habits. 3 What are the hazards of “Diastasis”? The “geoduck” will cause abnormal oral function, including chewing efficiency, bite trauma and so on. In addition, serious patients often lead to facial depression, chin protrusion, “crescent face”, the patient’s aesthetic impact, and then can lead to the corresponding psychological problems, affecting the normal work and study life of patients. 4 How to prevent and treat “Diastemas”? (1) Help children to correct bad oral habits. (2) encourage breastfeeding. Children who can only be fed artificially should lie on their side and not develop the habit of breastfeeding on their back. (3) Go to a professional dentist for examination as early as possible, once the problem is found, early orthodontic treatment is needed. (4) In early childhood, orthodontic treatment requires simple braces; in adulthood, surgery is the only way to correct the problem. If you find the condition of “geodesic”, you should go to the hospital in time to get a clear diagnosis of the cause. The treatment differs for different causes. 5What is the best time to treat a child with a “geodesic” condition? If your child has ingrown teeth, you should not wait until after the teeth have been replaced, but treat them as soon as possible. As a parent, you must always pay attention to the growth of your baby’s teeth, do not think that your child’s teeth will fall out sooner or later and ignore it, improper treatment is likely to leave a lifelong shadow on your child. (1) The best period of correction is during the age of 2-5 years for the baby’s teeth, which can be completed in 3-6 months. If the teeth are replaced, the second orthodontic treatment is usually required at the age of 6-12 years, when it is easier to correct. (2) If the replacement period jaw is not corrected in a timely manner, the permanent period correction is generally after the age of 12 years, requiring more complex orthodontic appliances, when the correction is difficult and less effective. The “groundedness” in children is often caused by bad habits, and generally after the bad habits are changed, the jaw can return to its original position and eliminate the jaw. If it is not eliminated, then treatment is needed. Generally, anterior jaws can be treated around the age of 4. If the child is cooperative, treatment should be done as early as possible to prevent the jaw from developing further. The early period of the teeth replacement and permanent teeth (8-10 years old) is the appropriate period for treatment of “enameled teeth”, as children of this age are relatively cooperative and should be treated promptly and as soon as possible for patients who have already suffered from maxillary hypoplasia and facial depression. This is the time to wear a special orthopedic appliance to pull the developmentally restricted upper jaw forward to promote the growth and development of the upper jaw, which can achieve twice the effect with half the effort. For adult patients who have completed development, the less severe skeletal causes can be masked by fixed orthodontic treatment, while if the skeletal factors are more severe, surgical methods are needed to correct the wrong skeletal relationship
