How to correct bony buck teeth

Bony buck teeth can usually be corrected through orthodontic treatment and surgery. Usually, bony buck teeth are caused by overdevelopment of jaws. Children under 9 years old can wear extra-oral functional orthodontic appliances and intra-oral orthodontic appliances to correct jaw deformity. At this time, children’s jaws are in the growth and development stage, in good shape and not easy to rebound, which is the best time for treatment; the above methods can also be used on patients aged 9 to 18, but the treatment time is usually extended. Generally for more severe bony buck teeth, it may not be possible to fully correct them and surgical treatment is required; if an adult patient’s jawbone is fully formed, it is difficult to correct it with one appliance alone, and it needs to be evaluated in combination with orthognathic surgery; it is generally more complicated and the treatment period is longer. Patients with bony buck teeth are advised to seek timely medical attention and standardized treatment under the guidance of professional doctors.
