What to do if upper teeth protrude

If your upper teeth are protruding, you can go to the dental department of the hospital for treatment and choose the appropriate correction method based on the health of your teeth, such as fixed braces and invisible braces. During the correction period, the oral area should be kept clean and cared for.

1. Fixed orthodontic appliances: Protruding upper teeth may be caused by genetic and acquired factors. Abnormal breathing and swallowing functions may easily affect tooth development. Bad habits, such as biting fingers and upper lips, or premature loss of deciduous teeth may cause protruding upper teeth, resulting in uneven teeth, which will affect appearance. If the upper and lower bites are not in good shape, it will easily affect pronunciation, normal eating and chewing functions, increase the gastrointestinal burden, and affect physical and mental health. If the symptoms are mild, you can choose a fixed appliance, which requires the use of steel wires to generate tension, which can restore the teeth to their normal position, making them neat and tidy. The price is relatively low. Fixed orthodontic appliances are relatively cheap, but they are not very aesthetically pleasing and can cause wear and tear on the oral mucosa when used for the first time, which can easily increase the risk of oral ulcers.

2. Invisible braces: If you have high requirements for aesthetics and comfort, you can choose invisible braces. There are no obvious signs of correction from the appearance, and they are more comfortable to wear. They can move the position of teeth and restore them to a neat and healthy state, but the price is relatively high.
