| Mis sized tooth | |
| Mis
sized teeth are one of the commonly found dental ailments
found these days all over the world. Lots of people have teeth that
are too small for the space they occupy, resulting in unsightly spaces
and gaps between their teeth. This condition usually occurs
in the upper teeth, and of course is most noticeable when the front
6 or 8 teeth are involved. There are different ways to correct
the situation, though. Spaces can be closed using porcelain
crowns, veneers, dental
bonding or orthodontics. All teeth are aligned, straight, and spaced proportionally. The upper teeth keep the cheeks and lips from being bitten and the lower teeth protect the tongue. Mis sized teeth is also refferred as malocclusion or improper bites. It is the most common problem that comes to an orthondonist. This problem is so common that there is hardly any one to find these days who has perfect occlusion. Mostly, this problem is so minor that the people don’t find it fruitful to visit a specialist. The minor Mis sized teeth do hardly give any problem to any individual. It has been found out that many dental problems can be avoided if malocclusion is cured. The problems like tooth decay, oral hygiene problems, civilities etc almost all of the major dental problems can be avoided to a larger extent as this would let a person have a better approach to cleaning his teeth regularly. Mis sized teeth can be caused by hereditary. There may be a disproportion between the size of the upper and lower jaws or between jaw and tooth size resulting in overcrowding of teeth or in abnormal bite patterns. Extra teeth, malformed teeth, impacted or lost teeth, and teeth that erupt in an abnormal direction may contribute to malocclusion. Variations in size or malformation of either jaw may affect its shape, as can birth defects such as cleft lip and palate. One of the other ruling cause is stated to be the thum sucking habit, tongue twisting habit, pacifier use beyong the age of three years, prolonged use of bottle of age all can be regarded as several factors to get improper teeth among young children. Among adults or grown up the improper fit of dental fillings, crowns, appliances, retainers or braces may contribute to malocclusion. Common symptoms include abnormal alignment of teeth that are visible, abnormal appearance of the face, difficulty in chewing the food or especially while biting and speech difficulties (this is very rare to find) or mouth breathing. For treatment mostly Braces or other appliances may be used. Metal bands are placed around some teeth or metal, ceramic, or plastic bonds are attached to the surface of the teeth. Wires or springs apply force to the teeth. The main thing to be kept in mind is that as soon as some problem is faced one must go and visit his/her cosmetic dentist so that the problem can be rightly diagnosed at time and further best treatment can be provided for the ailment. |
