Patient's question:
Does the child's two-year-old habit of biting the lower lip indicate a disease?Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment
What kind of help do you want: Break this bad habit
Doctor's answer:
Biting the lips is indeed an unhealthy habit. If done for a long time, it can cause the upper jaw teeth to grow forward and downward, while the lower jaw retreats backward. Since your child is still quite young, it's best for the parents to correct this habit, as it is usually addressed under family care. It's important to correct this unhealthy habit as soon as possible. If the child is older, it is recommended to wear proper orthodontic appliances.
