Malocclusion and orthodontic prevention
Overlapping teeth (tooth crowding) and treatment methods
In most children, the teeth overlap (causing dental crowding), which is a symptom, as well as a warning sign, that the child’s jaw and face are not developing properly. Such symptoms may be visible as early as the age of three.
Can overlapped teeth (dental crowding) be prevented?
Dental crowding causes dysfunctions in the oral cavity, such as mouth breathing and abnormal swallowing. To prevent serious problems later in life, these dysfunctions can, and should be treated as quickly as possible. Early intervention also produces results that cannot be achieved once the face and jaw have fully developed.
Are there any corrective methods for overlapped teeth?
At Medicover Stomatologia we solve such orthodontic problems using innovative appliances as well as braces, and we encourage early treatment.
