1-Is it possible to treat hare teeth without braces?
Since cleft teeth occur due to the protrusion of the patient’s teeth or the protrusion of the front part of the patient’s upper jaw, it is necessary to treat this deformity by using fixed and removable orthodontics. The filing of the teeth and the use of restoration methods not only eliminates the deformity of the rabbit teeth, but also causes serious damage to the teeth and tooth enamel. It is recommended to use dental restoration methods only to cover broken teeth, correct tooth color, and also to enlarge small and worn teeth.
2- Do bunny teeth need surgery?
Patients who have reached puberty and suffer from jaw deformities in addition to orthodontics may need surgery. These patients undergo orthopedic surgical treatment. An orthodontist can move the jaws of adult patients using removable braces without surgery. However, after the growing age, if the patient’s deformity is severe, this problem is corrected with orthodontics along with surgery.
3- What happens if the rabbit teeth are not treated?
If cleft teeth are not treated, the front teeth are more susceptible to decay, damage and fracture. In addition, it can affect the shape of the lips and create an unnatural and unattractive (ugly) appearance.
4-How long do rabbit teeth continue to grow?
As long as the patient is in the age of growth and puberty, it is possible for the rabbit’s tooth to grow and grow. For example, a patient with a deformity due to the forward protrusion of the upper jaw, with excessive growth of the upper jaw and the absence of treatment, his teeth also move forward and this deformity increases until the end of adulthood.
5-Is it possible to trim (shorten) rabbit teeth?
It is necessary to consult an orthodontist for the treatment of hare teeth and shortened teeth in restorative ways. In many cases, there is no need to shorten and file the patient’s natural teeth, as the orthodontist is able to move the patient’s teeth during a period of orthodontic treatment without causing any damage to the standard position of the teeth.
6- What is the method of orthodontic treatment to correct hare teeth?
Complications of cleft teeth are usually caused by a malformation of the jaw or malformation of the teeth, or both. An orthodontist treats and corrects jaw deformities using removable braces, and treats dental deformities using fixed braces.
7- How long does it take to straighten rabbit teeth?
Patients with maxillary teeth usually have an overjet, an overbite, or an open bite. It takes about one and a half to two years to treat dental abnormalities using braces. If the patient also has jaw problems, it will take longer.
8-Is braces the only way to treat hare teeth?
The correct way to treat hare teeth is determined by the orthodontist. In most cases, orthodontics is the only treatment for cleft teeth. When the patient’s teeth are in their correct position with no jaw deformity, orthodontics has no role in correcting hare teeth, but this is very rare because the cause of these complications is usually deformation of the jaw and teeth.
