Misaligned teeth can cause a lot of harm: first, it affects facial aesthetics; second, it is prone to cavities and tartar buildup, affecting dental and periodontal health; third, due to poor occlusal relationship, the Department of Stomatology at Suzhou Dongwu Hospital notes that it can also affect eating, reduce chewing function, increase gastrointestinal burden, and thus impact physical health; fourth, sometimes it can affect pronunciation. Fifth, some teenagers may be teased by classmates or peers because their teeth don't look good, leading to feelings of inferiority and impacting mental health. Therefore, we hope parents will pay attention to their children's teeth, have regular check-ups, give them a set of neat, beautiful, and healthy teeth, and also give them confidence.
Orthodontics is a discipline, called orthodontics, which already has more than 100 years of history. Adults can undergo orthodontic treatment just like young children. Generally speaking, girls aged 10-12 and boys aged 11-13 are the best time for correction, as baby teeth have just been replaced at this time. However, for children with "underbite", doctors recommend early correction during the mixed dentition stage. Early correction helps to use the peak growth and development period in children to stop abnormal growth and development trends and guide them back to normal.
