Son has dental problem(his bite?)?  

answers 0:The other week I received a letter saying that my son has to visit the school dental van to get his bite checked out.He's 7 years old, going on 8 and some of his adult teeth have come through but are crooked, so I know there's a good chance that he'll need braces later on.But if he has a problem with his bite, what can a dentist do about that?answers 1:Bite is another name for the way your teeth meet when your jaws bite together.you say your sons teath are crooked so really you new this so why have you not had him sorted.If your teeth don’t fit together properly, you can have problems not only in your teeth themselves, but also the gums, the temporo-mandibular joint or the muscles that move your jaw. These problems are called ‘occlusal’ problems. TeethTeeth that are out of line, heavily worn or co! nstantly breaking, fillings that fracture or crowns that work loose may all be signs of occlusal problems. Your teeth may also be tender to bite on or may ache constantly. GumsLoose teeth or receding gums can be made worse by an incorrect bite. See your dentist. He or she may be able to help you or may refer you to a specialist who deals with occlusal problems. Will straightening the teeth help? If your teeth are too far out of line or in a totally incorrect bite position, it may be necessary to fit an orthodontic appliance to move them into a better position.Take him just think if they where your teeth....answers 2:seedon't be petrifiedtake him to dentisthe will cure it...answers 3:The orthodontist who puts his braces on will take care of that. Usually they can correct it with tiny rubber bands and in some severe cases he might have to wear head gear for a while. Hope this helps you.answers 4:Yes, my son has an overbite, but I didn't think it was that bad, but his upper! teeth(new adult teeth) are coming in crooked. One adult toot! h is actually partially sitting behind another adult tooth and it looks like it would push out the tooth in front(would probably end up with a buck tooth).answers 5:I personally had a really bad overbite growing up too!. Maybe the dentist can see if there is anything he can do now , while his teeth are still shifting. Maybe they can pull a tooth etc to make more room for adult teeth that might come in later down the road...
