One of the common problems with teeth is the incorrect development of the upper jaw. If it is narrowed (relative to normal anatomical dimensions), this causes:

  • Misalignment of the position of the upper and lower dentition.
  • A significant bite violation, which can make it difficult to chew food.
  • Curvature of the jaw bones and the formation of an incorrect facial oval.
  • Reduction of the nasal sinuses and impaired breathing through the nose.
  • Disturbance of diction, unattractive smile and the psychological discomfort caused by this.

To solve such a problem, a jaw-expanding appliance is used. It is made individually for each patient based on a cast of teeth. The design may vary depending on the defects of the jaw and the specific goals of its correction.

In the basic version, the design is a plate that is installed under the sky. Metal “legs” and orthodontic rings extend from it on the sides. The adjusting element is a screw located in the center of the plate. By screwing it in, the “legs” and rings create moderate pressure on the teeth from the inside. Since the load is constantly exerted, the upper dentition and jawbone gradually expand.

When is it relevant to use a jaw expansion device?

 
The use of an orthodontic device to expand the jaw is advisable in cases where abnormal development of the upper jaw and a significant narrowing of the dentition have been diagnosed. In the vast majority of cases, this problem is detected in early childhood during a visit to the dentist. The doctor recommends addressing it as early as possible. However, if the anomaly is left unattended, it can be corrected in adulthood. However, it is better not to ignore the advice of a dentist and start treating the child at an early age. This provides:
  • Correcting the shape of the jaw bones at an age when they are easily corrected.
  • Forming a correct bite on baby teeth, which creates the basis for the eruption of permanent teeth.
  • Solving (or preventing) problems with diction.
  • Expanding the nasal sinuses, improving breathing through the nose.
  • Forming the correct oval of the face and an attractive smile.
Jaw expansion has not only an aesthetic purpose. Correcting its shape ensures the correspondence of the upper and lower dentition. This plays an important role in pronouncing sounds and chewing food. In addition, jaw abnormalities can lead to a lack of space for the eruption of all teeth, which causes the curvature of the dentition. If correction is carried out at an early age, permanent teeth erupt evenly and correctly positioned. Do you or your child have an anomaly of the upper jaw? Visit an orthodontist for an appointment. The specialist will conduct a medical diagnosis and suggest the optimal correction methods that are suitable for your situation. After planning and approving the treatment, we will make a personal jaw expander – and the doctor will install it, performing the necessary accompanying procedures. Then you will only have to periodically come for check-ups for control checks and correction. Do you have any questions and need a specialist’s consultation?
