Non Surgical Treatment Class III malocclusion: (UNDERBITE) TREATED BY DR.GEORGE BARDAWIL

NON SURGICAL TREATMENT OF CLASS 3 (UNDERBITE) MALOCCLUSION TREATED BY DR.GEORGE BARDAWIL                   
,Class III:Class III is where the lower first molar is anterior (or more towards the front of the mouth) than the upper first molar. In this abnormal relationship, the lower teeth and jaw project further forward than the upper teeth and jaws. There is a concave appearance in profile with a prominent chin. Class III problems are usually due to an overgrowth in the lower jaw, undergrowth of the upper jaw or a combination of the two.

Edward Angle, who is considered the father of modern orthodontics, was the first to classify malocclusion.

  • Class III: Mesiocclusion (prognathism,negative overjet) is when the lower front teeth are more prominent than the upper front teeth. In this case the patient very often has a large mandible or a short maxillary bone.UNDERBITEIn this type of bite (or a Class III problem), the lower teeth and jaw extend out over the upper jaw structure. This, too, is generally attributed to inherited characteristics. In most cases, the lack of development in the upper jaw is the cause of a Class III problem.www.drgeorgebardawil.com
  • Underbite should be corrected because it can:

    • prevent proper functioning of the front teeth or molars which can lead to premature wear of the teeth
    • cause chewing or eating problems
    • cause jaw or joint problemsmake your smile less attractive

The Right Time for an Orthodontic Evaluation: No Later Than Age 7

The Right Time for an Orthodontic Evaluation: No Later Than Age 7

Even though most people think of pre-teens and teens when they think of orthodontics, there are good reasons your child should have an orthodontic evaluation much sooner. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), recommends a checkup with an orthodontist no later than age 7. At our office, we typically tell our parents: Third Grade. At this time, the incisors and molars are erupting and the orthodontist can evaluate your child's occlusion .www.drgeorgebardawil.com
 


Early treatment may give your orthodontist the chance to: 1) guide proper jaw growth, (2) lower the risk of trauma to protruded teeth, (3) correct harmful habits or crossbite, (4) improve appearance, self-esteem, and speech, (5) eliminate crowding and avoid extractions. In essence, Phase I treatment lays down the proper foundation.

If you are considering Phase I treatment for your child, consider looking for an orthodontist in your area who participates with your insurance plan and provides convenient hours. Most orthodontists offer complimentary consultations.
