Early childhood correction is the treatment of the root cause of malocclusion. It is difficult to intervene in the growth of permanent dentition. The deciduous dentition and mixed dentition are ideal periods for early intervention.

The early correction of muscle function in children is a popular tool for children's "tooth".

To date, this technology has been used by orthodontists in more than 120 countries around the world. The effect of this kind of training that guides the child's natural growth is beyond the reach of traditional correction.

What is early childhood correction?

Early childhood correction is the abbreviation of Myofunctional Research Center. Early childhood corrective muscle function training system was designed in the early 1990s by Australian orthodontic surgeon Chris Farrel, who applied computer and combined with a large number of orthodontic clinical work. The system series has obtained international patents. It has been widely used in Australia and the Americas.  

Correction principle of early childhood correction

By training the correct position of the tongue, proper swallowing and nasal breathing, the early childhood correction trainers and appliances bring a neat arrangement of teeth to the child. At the same time, the trainer also applies a slight force to the dentition to help the alignment of the teeth and the expansion of the dental arch. What should I do if there is a problem with the tooth occlusion during the deciduous period and the dentition period? In fact, in response to these early oral problems, the early correction of the dental malformation system. As a good solution, few people know.   

Three functions of early correctional muscle function correction system in children

Correct bad oral habits:Adjust the position of the lips and tongue, correct breathing and swallowing habits

Correcting deformed dentition jaws:Prevent and correct dental malformations and ensure that the teeth are neatly arranged

Prevent facial deformity:Balance jaw and muscle development and prevent facial deformities

The material of the early childhood corrected muscle function appliance is soft silicone. The doctor will choose the size according to the child's oral condition, which will leave some space for the teeth and jaw bones, so the child will have enough space when wearing it. Will press on it, so there will be no strong discomfort, just wear it and gently wrap your mouth.  

Design features of early childhood correction

1. Hollow tongue top, tongue block and tongue pad, the training tongue is always in the correct position, and the habit of breaking the fingers is broken;

2, breathing holes to help transition to the correct nasal breathing;

3, the extended lip block, prevent the lip muscle function is too strong and transitional active;

4, the tooth track, you can line the front teeth.

About the wearing of early childhood correction

Easy to use: wear 1 hour + 1 night during the day, only 6 months, sleep out neatly and comfortable to wear: non-toxic, tasteless, no side effects, small size, light and fun treatment: parent-child treatment, with friends, play while learning Correction

The scope of application for early childhood correction

l Have bad oral habits, such as biting the tongue and biting the lip, etc. l have abnormal chewing action l auxiliary treatment for orthodontic treatment l preventive treatment of tooth irregularities l early childhood malocclusion (such as the development of the earth)

The best period for early correction of children

The deciduous period (3-5 years old): It is mainly suitable for the deciduous teeth, and the early correction is beneficial to the development of the maxilla and preventing the wrong jaw.     dentition period (8-12 years old): If you have a lip bite, a tongue extension, a forward mandible and other symptoms, parents should promptly take the child to check orthodontics. Constant tooth period (11-15 years old): Common malocclusion, dentition, and sacral teeth can be treated optimally.  

How long does it take to work?

In general, children between the ages of 6 and 10, as long as they have a higher degree of cooperation with the doctor, have enough time to wear them. In normal cases, it will take eight to ten months to be effective. From a clinical point of view, let the children have an adaptation process, plus our Chinese children may have more homework, then it is not particularly good at the beginning, so it is generally a wearing time of ten to twelve months. Basically the effect is better.  

Early childhood correction case

Case 1: The eight-year-old girl has hereditary deep jaw and has a very obvious improvement in the back type after 10 months of treatment.

Case 2: The fangs that originally flew outside were also obviously recovered after receiving treatment.

Case 3: A pair of twin sisters abroad used to breathe with their mouths. One of them had an early intervention and the other did not interfere. The facial contour development gap was very large!

To sum up 

Foreign doctors represented by Chris Farrel believe that the scientific management and intervention of the tooth uniformity in advance makes it possible for the teeth that are likely to grow or are growing up to be on the right track and reach the optimal state of growth and development of the child. Problems with irregular teeth and insufficient facial development. The difference between foreign medicine and domestic medicine in prevention and treatment is not a year or two. This low-cost and low-altitude oral correction is believed to be accepted and recognized by more and more people. PS: If the child is corrected after adulthood, the cost and time of investment are more than three times that of early childhood correction!
