The causes of bony buck teeth are congenital anomalies of maxillofacial development, bad chewing habits, upper respiratory tract obstruction and so on.
1. Congenital anomalies of maxillofacial development: patients with bony buck teeth have maxillary protrusion deformity, which leads to the inability to close the lips naturally. Mild bony buck teeth can be observed first, while severe bony buck teeth can be treated with orthodontic surgery first and then orthognathic surgery when it seriously affects the aesthetics.
2. Bad chewing habits: Bad chewing habits can lead to tooth damage, which in turn leads to crowding and deep overlaying of teeth, which can lead to the emergence of bony buck teeth.
3. Upper respiratory tract obstruction: such as adenoid hypertrophy in childhood, and other factors lead to open-mouth breathing, so that the facial development is abnormal, leading to narrowing of the maxilla, protruding forward and so on, which can lead to bony buck teeth.
Patients with bony buck teeth can be relieved by orthodontic and maxillofacial treatment and changing chewing habits, and they should go to the hospital on time for follow-up after orthodontic and maxillofacial treatment.
