Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, too, often result from an incorrect bite, because when the jaws are not properly closed, the child can not chew the food well. Of course, it will not be easy to articulate and clearly pronounce the words of the baby. And there is also the aesthetic side of the problem! What conclusion does one suggest? Be sure to show the expert! Correction of a complex occlusion in a child is an actual problem.
What affects the bite?
Since infancy, the child has an intensive formation of jaws. It will be right or not, in many respects depends on you, Mummy. Do you really choose the nipples for the bottles of your artificially crumb? Do you buy silicone, orthodontic? Excellent! Do you only breastfeed? Well done! Breastfeeding is one of the important components of healthy bite formation. Little does not sleep with a pacifier in his mouth? Perfectly! And how are you with bad habits (sucking your fingers, laying your tongue between your teeth)? If everything is in order here, there is a chance to avoid trouble with the bite. Provided that the crumb does not have genetic diseases, ailments associated with endocrine disorders, adenoid vegetations (they can become both a cause and a consequence of an incorrect bite), a short frenum. Diseases have not bypassed you? Do not worry! You will cure them (most likely, it is necessary to address to ENT, the endocrinologist) and with the help of the competent orthodontist you will understand all nuances concerning the occlusion.
About the norm and pathology
Even the right bite has a lot of subspecies, because each person is individual. However, the doctor learns that everything is good, on the basis of the main feature. Orthodontic norm is the position of the jaws when, when closing, the upper front teeth overlap the lower ones by one third, and the lateral chewing teeth are in contact with each other. Accordingly, the main symptom of the pathological occlusion is any violation when the dentition is closed. It also tells the appearance of the wrong bite.
• Distal - when the upper jaw is excessively developed or the lower jaw is not sufficiently developed.
• Mesial - the lower jaw is pushed forward with respect to the upper jaw.
• Deep - the lower teeth rest against the upper jaw, and the upper ones - in the lower jaw.
• Open - a group of teeth partially or completely do not close. Is the exact diagnosis already made? It's time to learn about the methods of treatment.
Traders, plates, and not only ...
The first step in the fight against the wrong bite is the elimination of bad habits and the treatment of chronic diseases. Then everything is individual. Depending on the age of the child and pathology, the doctor chooses methods of therapy. They will work better if you combine them with certain exercises. Myogymnia, together with orthodontic devices, works wonders! Here only a medical complex for each patient needs its own. One is advised to push the lower jaw forward or to the side, others - to claw the tongue over the palate or get the tip of the nose, the third - to fold the lips into the tube ... Such repeatedly repeated, systematic exercises stimulate muscle function, promote the growth of the underdeveloped parts of the jaws. Especially persistent children after prolonged performance of such charging, even orthodontic devices can not be worn! But it also happens in another way. True, here, the smaller the age, the more loyal the approach of orthodontists to treatment. For example, to bracket systems, which permanently attach to the teeth and create a slight discomfort, usually resorted only when the milk teeth have already been replaced by permanent teeth. But plastic plates and silicone trainers (often called "kapy") will suit younger children. Usually they do not require around the clock application. However, long-term therapy can not be avoided. Sometimes treatment is delayed for a year, or even more.
