Patient's question:
Baby's milk teeth are crooked. The child has been in this condition for a while. As parents, we are very worried and hope the doctor can give some advice.Doctor's answer:
If the milk teeth are positioned one in front of the other, it is an isolated issue, possibly due to an overbite, which manifests as an overbite condition. In such cases of misalignment, treatment is required. Additionally, some children may develop habits, such as biting their fingers or lips, which can also cause the corresponding teeth to become misaligned, necessitating orthodontic treatment. First, it is essential to break the child's habits, and then gradually adjust the teeth, allowing them to naturally grow into their correct positions.Furthermore, other oral habits may also lead to misaligned milk teeth. Therefore, if the misalignment is severe, it is crucial to have the child examined by a dentist to determine whether further treatment is necessary.
