Anterior depressions are an orthodontic treatment that involves forcefully squeezing the anterior teeth toward the gums, allowing the teeth to move in the direction of the alveolar bone in order to reduce the height of their alveolar ridges and achieve the goal of inhibiting the faster growth of the anterior teeth.
Anterior teeth depressions are now mainly realized by using the installation of rocking chair arches, depressing auxiliary arches, implanting supportive nails, etc., and can also be combined with orthodontic appliances, and this method is mainly suitable for treating the symptoms of deepening of maxillary and mandibular overdentures. For patients with 1 degree of deep overdenture, depression of the anterior teeth can be achieved by pushing the upper and lower anterior teeth in the labial direction at the same time with an orthodontic appliance;
For patients with 2 degrees of deep overdenture, the upper front teeth can be depressed by installing a rocking chair arch and depressing the auxiliary arch to open up the occlusion of the teeth and realize the depression of the anterior teeth;
For patients with 3 degrees of deep overlay, the upper front teeth are usually depressed by implanting supporting nails to achieve anterior tooth depression.
If there is any abnormality in the teeth, you should seek medical attention to identify the cause and then go to the dental clinic for treatment. During the process of anterior teeth depression treatment, you should pay attention to ensure that your mouth is clean and brush your teeth more often. Avoid eating raw, cold, stimulating and spicy food, and you can exercise properly. You can eat more food with high content of B vitamins as appropriate, such as milk, egg yolk and so on.
