The cause of upper teeth encasing lower teeth may be purely dental or bony. Most of them can be corrected by orthodontic treatment or by combined orthodontic and maxillofacial treatment.
1. Orthodontic treatment: Upper teeth wrapped around lower teeth caused by purely dental factors can be corrected by wearing braces, i.e. orthodontic treatment, including traditional wire braces as well as invisible orthodontics, both of which have the same efficacy. Wire braces are relatively cheaper but less aesthetic; invisible braces are a little more expensive and more aesthetic, which can be chosen according to the economic situation.
2. Orthodontic orthognathic joint treatment: Orthodontic orthognathic joint treatment is suitable for deep overjet of teeth caused by bony problems, and it achieves the purpose of correction by surgically opening the molar teeth to occlude and changing the position of the jawbone, etc. It is recommended that children’s teeth development should be corrected.
It is recommended that children with malformed teeth should go to the stomatology department of regular hospitals as early as possible for examination, to clarify the cause of the disease and diagnosis, and then choose the applicable methods of treatment under the guidance of professional physicians.
