Whether or not the bite can bite back on its own depends on the condition of the teeth. In childhood, it is possible to improve the bite to alleviate the pericoronitis; in adulthood, it is not possible to bite back when all the permanent teeth have erupted and the alveolar bone is basically set.
1. Childhood: In childhood, because the teeth are in the active period, the fusion with the alveolar bone may be movable, you can first take a full mouth film to see whether it is a dental or bony pericoronitis. If it is dental, it can be improved by occlusion; if it is bony, it cannot be improved and should be treated by surgery.
2. Adulthood: When all the permanent teeth have erupted, the alveolar bone is closely fused with the roots of the teeth, and there is not much room for movement, so it is not possible to improve the phenomenon of periosteum through occlusion. If it is dental, it can be improved by orthodontics, if it is bony, it needs to be improved by surgery.
It is recommended to go to a regular dental hospital for consultation and treatment.
