The function of tiger teeth

Canine teeth are actually a type of dental deformity. Generally speaking, our teeth are arranged in two neat rows, but the canine is a tooth that grows on the upper teeth, closer to the gums. Generally speaking, although canine teeth are a type of dental deformity, they do not have much impact. Many people are even called cute because of their canine teeth. But tiger teeth have no extra functions.

Dental deformity refers to the deformity of teeth, jaw, and craniofacial structure caused by congenital genetic factors or acquired environmental factors during the growth and development of children. Such as uneven tooth arrangement, protruding upper teeth, protruding chin, crooked mouth, etc. With the continuous deepening of clinical research, the concept of modern dental deformity is far more than just referring to the misalignment and uneven arrangement of teeth, but refers to a variety of deformities caused by the imbalance between teeth and craniofacial region.

Affects facial beauty

Dental deformities have the most direct impact on facial beauty. Malformations such as overbite, open lips and exposed teeth, and mandibular deviation will greatly reduce a person's overall image.

Affects overall health

The reduced chewing function caused by malocclusion will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and over time will cause indigestion or gastrointestinal diseases; oral diseases such as caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, etc. caused by malocclusion will induce systemic diseases such as myocarditis and nephritis when the body's immunity is low.

Affects oral and facial development

If dental and jaw deformities are not corrected in time during children's growth and development, it will affect the development of soft and hard tissues in the oral cavity and face, causing obvious facial deformities. Such as overbite, parted lips and showing teeth.

Affects oral health

Malocclusion of teeth and other dental deformities, poor self-cleaning of teeth, and ineffective brushing make it difficult to remove food debris and plaque. Over time, it is easy to suffer from oral diseases such as caries (cavities), tartar (tartar), gingivitis (bleeding gums), etc. Severe cases can develop into periodontal disease, causing loose and falling teeth.

Affects oral function

Some dental deformities may affect oral function. For example, if the front teeth are open-bite, pronunciation is unclear; if the patient has an overbite or a lockbite, the contact area when biting is smaller than that of normal people, and the chewing efficiency is greatly reduced; a deep overbite will affect the movement of the mandible, causing abnormal movement of the temporomandibular joint, the moving joint of the mandible, causing pain and easily fatigued facial muscles.
