Children's teeth are also exquisite in terms of age

Under normal circumstances, if you want to help your child straighten your teeth, you also have a certain degree of attention in terms of age, it is best to carry out from puberty to puberty, the best age of correction for girls is 11 to 12 years old, and boys are 12 to 13 years old.

Q: My daughter is 8 years old, and her deciduous teeth have lost 10, but the teeth that have recently grown are not very neat, and I want to ask if I want to give the baby teeth or straightened? When is correction appropriate?

A: Many factors will cause the baby's permanent teeth to be misaligned, whether to correct it or not, depending on the reasons for the uneven arrangement of the child's teeth and oral development.

Often, the causes of misalignment of teeth are as follows:

First, the lip ties are low, highlighted by a significant gap between the upper front teeth, which will be improved with subsequent teeth eruption one by one, and generally do not require special correction;

Second, the permanent teeth of children's newborns are often very large, and the children's jaws are still developing, which is prone to the situation of "small sofa sitting adults", so it leads to the uneven arrangement of the new permanent teeth, which does not need to be rushed to correct, most of the children's teeth can be slowly arranged with the development of children's upper and lower jaws;

Third, the reason is related to multiple teeth, ambush teeth, about 3% of people have multiple teeth or ambush teeth, due to the number of teeth caused by uneven tooth alignment, in this case, you can judge which tooth belongs to the deformed tooth by taking a tooth piece, you need to pull out the excess teeth and then correct it;

Fourth, it is related to the lack of bone mass in children's development, which is mostly manifested by the uneven arrangement of the lower teeth, which also needs to be corrected after the child's teeth are basically aligned.

Under normal circumstances, if teeth are to be straightened, it is best to do it from prepuberty to puberty, and the optimal age of correction is 11 to 12 years for girls and 12 to 13 years for boys.

At this time, on the one hand, there can be enough permanent tooth auxiliary orthosis to fix, on the other hand, because the jaw development is still in progress, it is easier to correct, and it will not cause too much psychological impact on the child.
