Many people experience the phenomenon of crooked teeth, some with misaligned teeth causing them to lean towards the lips, cheeks, or tongue, while others experience crowded and overlapping teeth. These issues greatly affect aesthetics. So, how can we prevent the occurrence of crooked teeth?
Preventing the phenomenon of crooked teeth requires attention from infancy, particularly when feeding human milk. If only cow's milk is available, ensure that the nipple opening is not too large. It’s important not to let the bottle press on the jawbone, nor allow the infant to suck on an empty bottle. Around the age of one, bottle-feeding should be stopped.
It's also important to frequently change the sleeping position of infants, making sure they don't always sleep on one side. During childhood, eating habits should be monitored as well. Regular consumption of foods like sugarcane, which are tough yet easy to digest, can help clean the teeth, enhance chewing functions, and stimulate normal growth of teeth, jawbones, and muscles.
If any conditions such as nasal diseases, enlarged tonsils, cavities, extra or delayed shedding of teeth are discovered, they should be treated promptly. Now you know how to prevent the phenomenon of crooked teeth! Attention must be paid from infancy, developing good habits to achieve more perfect teeth.
