treated without surgery?
Rose of the upper front teeth "fog" can be treated by straightening, but in some cases it is accompanied by the emergence of the upper jaw, i.e. the jaw bones themselves and not only the teeth, which causes aesthetic and health problems for those who suffer from this problem .. Is it possible to treat the emergence of the jaw? Upper without surgical intervention?
Multiple problems
The emergence of the upper jaw reflects negatively on the appearance of the affected person and affects the patient''s psyche, according to Dr. Alaa Al-Husseini, a fellow of the Royal College of England, adding that it causes health problems as well:
The ease of the front upper teeth being broken in the event of a shock, due to their visibility.
Breathing from the mouth instead of the nose, and its associated negative health effects.
Increased build-up of tartar on the lower front teeth and an increased possibility of infections in the upper front teeth.
Therapeutic means
Treatment of protrusion of the upper jaw varies according to the age of the affected person. Dr. Alaa Al-Husseini explains the treatment methods that are used, namely:
From the age of 8 years to 12 years: At this age stage the jawbones are still in the growth stage, so the emergence of the upper jaw can be treated without surgical intervention, through a straightening device called "Head Gear", where it helps direct the jawbones to the correct direction and avoid The wrong direction.
The child uses it for two years, after which another resort called "Retainer" is used, to preserve the results, and the child uses it until the age of 18, but it is installed only at bedtime.
From the age of 12 to 18 years: In this age group, the jaw bones themselves are not straightened, but for the teeth in the upper jaw, by removing two of the upper posterior teeth and then installing a regular orthodontic device for the upper front teeth, to take them back, suggesting It is the jaw bones themselves that have retracted, not just the teeth.
The emergence of the upper jaw to a large degree: In the case of the emergence of the upper jaw to a great degree compared to the lower one, and if the injured person is over the age of 18 years, the surgical intervention is the best solution in this case, where the maxillofacial surgeon cuts about 4 mm of the upper jaw on the side Right, 4 mm left, to take the jaw back.
