Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and I have recently been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. I was wondering if it's possible to correct crooked teeth that come out during a child's teething.Doctor's answer:
Teeth become misaligned during the mixed dentition period, from 6 to 12 years of age, when both deciduous and permanent teeth coexist in the dental arch. This plays a decisive role in the future formation of normal occlusion. In some cases, the teeth can adjust themselves during growth and development without orthodontic treatment. However, if they remain misaligned, orthodontic treatment can be considered between the ages of 13-14, as this is the optimal time for treatment. Children have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment. Regular check-ups should also be conducted for the child, and symptomatic treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
