Patient's question:
Is it a symptom of a disease that a two-year-old child has a habit of biting their lower lip?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 a bad 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. This is because it is usually under family supervision, so correcting the bad habit as soon as possible is important. If the child gets older, it is recommended to wear proper orthodontic appliances.
