How to correct dystopian canines?
The doctor's answer
Based on the data provided, we can note that you are characterized by the following characteristics:
- Distal bite.
- Severe crowding of teeth in the upper and lower jaws.
- The displacement of the center of the upper dentition to the right.
Bite correction and teeth alignment is possible using several methods:
- Moving the lower teeth forward – increasing the inclination of the incisors.
Limitation: In this case, we are limited to the bone volume in the area of the anterior teeth. This can only be assessed on a 3D image. - Moving the upper teeth back - this requires the space in the tooth row that we can get as a result:
- tooth extraction;
- distalization – when the entire dentition is moved backwards (up to 2 mm on each side): micro-implant support is required;
- Separation – grinding the teeth to a safe extent, as a result of which they are reduced in size and free up the necessary space (up to 2-3 mm on each side);
- a combination of the above methods.
Restriction: inclination of the upper anterior teeth – it is necessary to evaluate the initial inclination on a 3D X-ray; also part of the freed up space should be spent on flattening the crowding
- Combination of 1 and 2 methods.
- The alignment of crowding on the lower jaw may require tooth extraction or distalization and separation.
