1- If the parents of the child have deformities in the mouth, what are the risks of developing oral diseases?
These children are more likely to develop oral diseases, but there is nothing to worry about. It is better to do the first examination of the patient at the age of seven, then if you undergo an examination by an orthodontist every six months, any disease is quickly diagnosed and orthodontic treatment is easier and more effective.
- What are the symptoms of genetic abnormalities?
The elevation of the jaw and face, as well as the advancement of the lower jaw, are the most common signs of hereditary maxillofacial anomalies. These abnormalities are usually not acquired, and in some cases, if they do not have genetic roots, are caused by the use of hormonal drugs such as growth hormone; somatropin.
3-Is small jaw and mouth a hereditary defect?
Yes. Many patients inherit their appearance from their parents, including a small jaw and mouth.
4- What are the consequences of not diagnosing genetic abnormalities?
Most of these patients have problems such as the advancement or recession of the upper or lower jaw, as well as the lack of sufficient space for permanent teeth (such as canines and wisdom teeth) to grow. You can prevent these complications by taking timely measures and seeing an orthodontist at the right time.
5- How can genetic deformities of the mouth and teeth be overcome?
It is enough to observe oral hygiene and consult an orthodontist so that the orthodontist can rely on the appropriate treatment method.
6- What is the effect of genetics on orthodontic treatment in adulthood?
Of course, as the patient gets older, orthodontic treatment will become more difficult and more time consuming. As a result, we recommend that you prioritize your oral hygiene from now on. We also recommend that you make an appointment with an orthodontist from the age of 7 to treat and evaluate oral and dental abnormalities in children.
