What are the causes of the overjet?
There is usually not only one cause for the incisors to bulge but rather a combination of different factors that can contribute to this dental condition.
genes
In many cases, the eruption of the teeth is a genetic problem. If one of the patient’s parents has it, he may have one as well. This condition can also occur if the lower jaw bone is regressed and weak in the person. This leads to upper front teeth posture forward more than they should, and this is one of the most common reason.
bad oral habits
protrusion in the teeth can also occur when many bad habits are practiced, for example, that a person had a habit of thumb sucking in childhood, and allowing the child to put the pacifier inside his mouth for a long time can contribute to this condition, so parents should be careful .
It is important for the patient to work on treating the protruding teeth in a timely manner if he wants to have healthy, consistent teeth.

Overjet treating
The fact that teeth overjet can be treated is good news, especially for those whose confidence has been affected by the appearance of their teeth. The remaining thing is to choose the appropriate treatment method. Fortunately, there are different methods and devices for treating erupting teeth that differ according to the severity of the condition, which we will be mentioned below.
Conventional orthodontics
is consideredFor orthodontic treatment of jaws orthodontic treatment A very common procedure, the orthodontic appliance repairs all kinds of dental related problems including eruption treatment. Orthodontics are designed to straighten and correct the alignment and eruption of a patient's teeth by slowly moving them to a new location. This system requires routine adjustments by an orthodontist. .
Traditional metal brackets have evolved a lot over the past few decades and are now smaller, less visible, and available in a variety of colors.
Resin bonding materials
Usually Composite resin materials such as composites Changing the shape and size of the patient's teeth, making the incisor teeth less visible.
The resin is as strong as natural teeth and can last for a few years.
Invisible aligners
This treatment is used by dentists to treat occlusal problems in adolescents and adults. The doctor will make a series of Removable clear plastic aligners From a mold to patients' teeth and puts them on teeth to change their position slowly without pain.
Clear braces blend very well with the natural color of the teeth, but may not be suitable for severe cases caused by structural problems in the jawbones.
This device is similar to a traditional orthodontic but it is also more accurate and costs a little more than it and reduces the frequency of visits to the clinic.
Orthodontic with selective teeth extracting
usually selective extracting is part of a plan to correct protrusion and other occlusal problems.
When treating the overjet we can shorten the arch of the upper jaw by removing the first premolars of the upper jaw and then withdrawing the upper front teeth. This can be used when the patient has small lower jaw or when the patient has a short arch in the lower jaw as a result of missing some of its teeth.
This can be a good option for many patients, especially those whose facial appearance improves from the extraction of premolars.
Orthodontics and replacement of missing teeth
The overjet appears either due to a problem in the jaw bone, such as insufficiency of the bones of the lower jaw, or as a result of losing some lower teeth, making the arch shorter.
Instead of removing the upper teeth and retracting the front upper jaw teeth, this method uses orthodontics to open the spaces that were filled by the teeth after the loss, which secures the spacing of the teeth and lengthens the arch of the lower jaw to get rid of the protrusion of the teeth while leaving the upper jaw teeth in an ideal position.
It has become common today to replace missing teeth with dental implantsThe Bimaristan Center in Turkey has the latest Dental implant techniques in one day only, don't hesitate tocontact us,
Dental veneers
Some dentists tend to treat overjet using VeneersThe veneers are made to create the natural appearance of the patient's teeth.
Dental veneers are a good cosmetic option to hide minor dental misalginment from protrusion and other similar defects and modify their appearance. Porcelain veneers can last about 10 to 15 years. iy can be considered as an expensive method.
dental crowns
Dentists use treatment withDental crowning To cover the entire surface of the patient's teeth, this procedure requires removing fro these teeth structure, just like veneer Crowns are custom made and can help beautify teeth and make them look natural and straight.
Crowns can last about 5 to 15 years.
Retainers
The retainer is a piece of molded plastic that is placed on the roof of the patient's mouth, covering a thin wire attached to the front teeth and applying light pressure on them. It is used to correct minor cases only.
Specialists recommend that patients wear retainers for two to three months, and often only at night. One of the benefits of retainers is that they can be removed by a person when they want to eat or brush their teeth.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
It is usually a last solution in severe cases when people with orthopedic problems cannot simply straighten their teeth with braces or retainers, this procedure is preferred. Orthognathic surgery.
