Nowadays, many parents and friends are paying more and more attention to the health and health of their children, and many parents hope to start correction for their children as early as possible, so that children can win at the starting line. I often hear people say, "It's still early, you can wait for all the teeth to be replaced, and then it's too late." "In fact, this is not right, there are many dental problems, if you wait until all the teeth are replaced, you may miss the best time, fail to achieve the best results, and even cause irreversible losses.
Early correction can effectively solve the problem of wrong dentition in many children's tooth replacement process, provide necessary guidance for tooth eruption, help children form more beautiful dentition, greatly reduce the difficulty of full mouth correction, and allow some children to avoid tooth extraction in orthodontics, and can also let some children directly form dentition without sitting on full mouth correction.
So, what kind of children need early intervention?
First of all, it is an emergency in correction, which requires early detection and early intervention, and it is also a type of condition that needs to be started early in early correction. Generally, 3-4 years old is a more suitable time to correct baby teeth, and when children can cooperate, the restrictions on jaw development can be lifted as early as possible, so as to reduce the impact of ground on the face shape and avoid the formation of a sunken and flat "moon face".
Secondly, small chin also needs early intervention, which is generally accompanied by children's rhinitis, and it is found that breathing through the mouth will form an "adenoid face" for children; In severe cases, snoring during sleep can cause sleep apnea.
In addition, tooth eruption problems also need to be monitored and intervened at an early stage. Some children delay changing their teeth, some teeth erupt prematurely, some baby teeth fall out early, and some teeth have been hitting each other after eruption, these problems may not be easy for parents to pay attention to and find, but in the clinic, because of these conditions, it will affect the eruption of permanent teeth, resulting in crooked permanent teeth, no place to grow, or it may be possible to loosen permanent teeth due to occlusal trauma, and even unable to retain the possibility that permanent teeth need to be extracted later.
There are various types of early childhood correction in clinical practice, and it is recommended that parents go to the pediatric occlusion department or a professional orthodontic institution for regular examination every six months after the child is three years old, so that the doctor can evaluate and give advice.
