What is the cause of labial adhesion in babies?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have 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. Could you please explain what labial adhesion in babies is?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, you might consider undergoing plastic surgery, which tends to be quite effective. The cost of plastic surgery generally depends on the surgical area and the complexity of the procedure, but it is usually not very high. If you have the means, you can undergo treatment.
During the mixed dentition period, when teeth are uneven, from 6 to 12 years of age, there is a coexistence of deciduous and permanent teeth in the dental arch. This plays a decisive role in the future formation of normal occlusion. In some cases, the teeth may adjust on their own during growth and development without the need for orthodontic treatment. If they remain uneven, you can wait until the age of 13-14 for correction. Orthodontic treatment during this period is most effective.
