The incorrect position of the teeth in people is quite common, but not everyone is able to recognize the disease and not everyone understands how dangerous it is. The correct bite is called “orthognathic bite”, in which the lower teeth are overlapped by the upper ones (chewing in this case will be effective).
In the process of teeth germination or at a different age, detrimental changes in the oral cavity can occur, so a number of physical bite disorders are possible:
- Weak development of the lower jaw, providing for the position of the upper jaw slightly in front of the lower;
- Incorrect arrangement of teeth in the upper row (the formation of an extra row, falling out of it);
- The lower jaw moves forward or backward.
For many parents, bite problems are not a cause for concern. Unfortunately, the negative manifestations of the disease begin to manifest themselves much later. In the process of growing up of children, their facial features will only be distorted over the years – the smile becomes ugly, the arrangement of the teeth is bent, and there is a risk of periodontal disease. Most often, these negative impacts occur during adolescence. Therefore, it is better to identify and eliminate the development of the problem in early childhood.
The condition of the bite can only be determined by a competent orthodontist.
But there are a number of easily identifiable signs by which visually noticeable changes can be identified:
- Enlarged lower jaw or at least slightly protruding
- Crookedly growing set of teeth
- Deformed upper lip
- Incorrectly adjoining rows.
If you have identified at least one of these factors in yourself or your child, make an appointment with a dentist.
With the right bite, they live 20% longer!
Dentists take bite problems responsibly, as an imbalance in the oral cavity can lead to general problems with the body. According to recent studies, those with a correct bite live 20% longer than those who have problems with the oral cavity. People often die due to cardiovascular problems, and the basis for their appearance is the displacement of the lower jaw. Such a deficiency narrows the lumen of the respiratory tract, resulting in a decrease in the amount of oxygen entering the body. And this increases the load on the heart muscle.
Take care of the condition of the oral cavity in a timely manner, and in case of unpleasant symptoms, call the doctors. Often “tooth” problems can manifest themselves in an unnatural way – ringing in the ears, numbness of the fingertips or headaches in the temples. Respond correctly to the hints of the body, and you will live longer!
