The difference between the emergence of the jaw and the emergence of teeth

We begin the article on jaw protrusion by identifying the difference between jaw protrusion and tooth protrusion:

• When the teeth are protruding forward instead of straight across the face, the orthodontist can diagnose this condition with the problem of protruding teeth.
• In this case, the orthodontist can treat the problem by putting the teeth back.
• Even if the x-ray proves that the teeth are prominent on the imaging, and in the diagnosis, the orthodontist finds that they are not prominent on the face, this case is not considered protruding teeth.
• When the teeth are positioned straight, but the jaw area is prominent forward.
• In this case, the problem is located in the jawbone with the teeth remaining straight.
• To come here the role of the maxillofacial surgeon along with the orthodontist.
• To cooperate in developing a treatment plan that will bring the patient to the best aesthetic and functional form of the jaws and teeth together.

Jaw protrusion causes

Speaking of the problem of jaw protrusion, let us now learn about the causes of jaw protrusion:

• Natural causes, for example, people of African descent have this problem more than others.
• There are also genetic causes that lead to the problem of jaw protrusion , for example, when one of the parents has a problem with jaw protrusion, the son may also suffer from the problem of upper jaw protrusion.
• Wrong habits that are followed, the most important of which are sucking fingers, breathing through the mouth, and pushing the teeth with the tongue forward.
• The progression or regression of the bones or teeth of the upper or lower jaw, and here we find the point of similarity between the causes of the emergence of the lower jaw and the causes of the emergence of the jaw.
• Small jaw or large size of the teeth, and this leads to crowding and the occurrence of the problem of jaw protrusion, known as “lizard”.

upper jaw protrusion process

In light of our talk about the problem of jaw protrusion, we will now shed light on the process of jaw protrusion:

• Jaw protrusion surgery or other upper jaw operations are considered safe operations and have a very high success rate.
• In other words, maxillary presentation or maxillary elevation for the treatment of a gummy smile.
• They are all very stable processes and the rate of relapse in them is almost non-existent.
• However, the possibility of a relapse for those who have a protrusion in the upper jaw is slightly higher.
• But medical progress has provided doctors with many techniques and strategies that can be followed in the jaw protrusion process to increase the success rate of the operation.

Simple jaw protrusion treatment

In the context of our talk about the treatment of jaw protrusion, we will now learn about the treatment of simple jaw protrusion:

• When the patient suffers from a slight protrusion in the upper jaw, the dentist can re-install the lower section of the teeth and use veneers to beautify the upper section of the teeth.
• Knowing that this treatment is no more than a cosmetic treatment so that its role in getting rid of the unfamiliar appearance caused by the problem of jaw protrusion emerges.
• The actual benefit of this treatment is that it plays a role in creating stability between the upper and lower sections of the teeth when the mouth is closed.

Jaw protrusion in infants

We continue to talk about the problem of the upper jaw, and now talk about the upper jaw in infants:

• First of all, it should be noted that the normal relationship between the upper and lower jaws is that the upper jaw is 2 to 3 millimeters ahead of the lower jaw.
• In the event that there is an increase or decrease in this amount, this indicates a defect in the placement of the jaws or a discrepancy in the jaw.
• At the young age, many parents notice a discrepancy between the jaws.
• At first, they may think that the problem is a protrusion in the child’s upper jaw, but this is not always the cause.
• The reason may be that the lower jaw is originally retracted, which led to this discrepancy between the jaws.
• Which made the parents believe that the problem is the protrusion of the jaw with the cause of the problem being the retraction of the lower jaw.
• Knowing that the orthodontist is the one who has the competence to determine whether the problem is a regression of the lower jaw, a progression (protrusion) of the upper jaw, or a problem in both jaws.
• As for the treatment of the problem, the orthodontist can, in the period of active growth or the pre-puberty period, intervene with special orthodontic devices called functional devices.
• These devices cause an increase in the growth of the lower jaw in the event that the problem is the regression of the lower jaw.
• When the problem is a protrusion in the upper jaw.
• In this case, the function of the devices is to curb the growth of the upper jaw and thus get rid of the discrepancy between the jaws.
• If the parents neglect these manifestations and take a long period of time to see the orthodontist and the child has reached puberty.
• In this case, the problem of disparities and protrusion in the jaws often needs classic treatment.
• In this case, it may be necessary to extract teeth to solve the problem of discrepancy, so that in the most difficult cases, the doctor may have to resort to orthodontic surgery.
• So we recommend parents to solve this problem early so that the treatment is easier and less harmful.

Treatment of the protrusion of the upper jaw without surgery

Our talk about treating the problem of jaw protrusion, we must talk about treating the upper jaw without surgery:

• Jaw protrusion can be treated without surgery through a device that performs two functions at the same time.
• The first function is to stop the growth of the upper jaw.
• While the second function of the device is to accelerate the growth of the lower jaw.
• In this case, the device creates a kind of equality between the jaws and gets rid of the problem of the jaw protruding from its lower counterpart.

The protrusion of the upper jaw, the shape of the face, before and after the orthodontic

After all we discussed regarding the problem of jaw protrusion, let us now know at the conclusion of the article about jaw protrusion in the face shape before and after upper jaw straightening:

• The shape of the face changes radically after fixing the problem of jaw protrusion, whether through orthodontics or other treatment methods.
• As the contrast between the upper jaw and its lower jaw has a total impact on the rest of the face with the asymmetry it causes.
• When the upper jaw bone protrusion is treated, the consistency caused by this procedure confirms that the result of the jaw protrusion before and after is very different.
