Progeny is what? Progeny: causes, treatment

Progenesis is a disease that is associated with an abnormal and overly active development of the bones of the lower jaw, expressed by the fact that the lower row of teeth protrudes forward more than the upper one. All this forms an incorrect bite. Consider the main causes, symptoms and methods of treatment. And also the problems that may occur in connection with the lack of medical measures.

Anomalies of the jaw

The most common problems that are associated with the pathological development of the jaw bone system are the prognosis and prognathia. If prognosis is the pathology of the lower jaw, which is expressed in its excessive development, then prognathia is a disease that is expressed in its underdevelopment.

Basically, all the symptoms of the disease can be seen even during infancy, and it is better to start with this immediately, then overcoming this pathology will be most productive. After all, these diseases are among the most difficult in the treatment and recovery of the facial bone system.

Causes of Prognosis

Factors that contribute to improper positioning of teeth during prognosis can be both congenital and acquired.

Congenital should include:

• Transport during pregnancy of severe diseases or diseases in acute form.
• Admission during pregnancy, drugs that are unacceptable for expectant mothers.
• Genetic factor.
• Injuries of the child, received during passage through the birth tubes.
• Congenital pathology of the palate (cleft).
• Pathologies of alveolar processes.
• Teeth were misplaced and grew from the very beginning, that is anomalies of the location of the teeth and their growth.

The causes of acquired pathology:

• Distortion of the jaw due to bad habits, such as sucking fingers, tongue or upper lip. Such actions lead to a gradual deformation of the bone facial system.
• The baby sucked nipples, bottles for a long time, although it was already supposed to stop it for a long time. Usually manifested when using dummies and bottles more than a year and a half.
• Disease of the respiratory system, nasal congestion and, consequently, constant breathing through the mouth can also contribute to the development of pathology.
• Very late onset of a change of teeth.
• Probably the development of the anomaly and with love to lean against the chin with his hand.
• Incorrect position of the skull during rest and sleep.
• Consequences of medical errors (surgery).

All these aspects can cause prognosis of the lower jaw. But in time to have time to respond to the disease, you need to know its symptoms and signs.

Symptoms of Progeny

Progeny is a disease that deforms and outlines the face. Noticeably this is the profile as a whole, since the lower lip and chin steeply protrude forward. There are two types of symptoms, one refers to the facial, the other - to the internal. Consider the main symptoms and signs more closely.

Symptomatology from the face

• Prognosis of the lower jaw is characterized by its extended state.
• The indirect sign of an anomaly of jaws is its ingenious corner which at the given disease is increased.
• Dents and asymmetry of the face.
• The lower lip seems much larger than the upper lip, is pushed forward and is slightly turned out.
• The lower part of the face seems more voluminous and high.
• The chin often has a pointed or narrowed shape.
• Not always, but quite often there is no crease under the lower lip.
• Nasolabial folds are clearly pronounced and have indentations.

Internal pathologies and their symptoms

• The speech of the patient often has a lisp defect.
• Teeth are arranged so that the lower ones go beyond the upper teeth.
• Violation of internal symmetry.
• Teeth grow in different directions and can have different positions. That is, they form a wave-like series, and not an even line.
• Diseases of the oral cavity, gingivitis, caries, tartar and so on are different.
• The presence of teeth is very large. Most often these teeth are located on the upper jaw.
• The magnitude of alveolar arches and dental arches does not correspond to the proper.
• Impaired chewing function. And this symptom manifests itself in the first place.

Differences of the disease by type

The progeny has its own classification. Pathology is divided into two types, the first type is true progeny, and the second is false progeny. Consider each species separately.

True Prognosis

The form of this prognosis refers to the most complex pathologies in recovery. This disease is characterized by a violation of the bite of both the front row of teeth and the lateral parts. In the future, a gap may appear between the lower and upper rows of teeth. Of course, this is possible only with the progressive growth of the lower jaw.

The problem of such a disease is not only in aesthetics, but also in physiology. Man with pronounced prognosis is difficult to eat, chew on it and even bite it. This is especially true when using solid products.

False progeny, or senile

This form is typical for the most part for people aged. It is also called "senile progeny". Of course, this disease is found not only in the elderly, but also in people of other age categories. Namely, those who in their time suffered a surgical intervention, the consequence of which was the improper intergrowth of the sky.

The disease manifests itself in a similar way to the previous species. The only difference is that in the false form, the anomalous development extends only to the front teeth. Then the chewing teeth are in their normal state.

How to cure?

Treating prognosis is a long and tedious process. In some cases, correction is almost impossible or perhaps only a slight improvement. Therefore, the prognosis should begin to be treated as soon as possible.

Treatment of anomalies in preschool age:

• Stimulating, massage actions in relation to the alveolar process.
• If the bottom row is displaced by no more than two millimeters, then an occlusal patch can be used.
• If necessary, surgery can be performed on the bridle of the tongue.
• The plates are also used with correcting springs, these springs are adjacent to the sky zone.
• Naturally, we will have to wean from the bad habits that led to the current situation. That is, without eliminating the cause, it is impossible to produce adequate treatment. Therefore, if the child supports the chin with his hand, then you have to fight it. If the cause is in the pacifiers, then they also have to remove them.
• The use of specialized devices that are aimed at restoring speech abilities, chewing and swallowing function.
• The use of a variety of activators and correction plates.

For people who are in pubertal period, treatment is somewhat more difficult. And the result of this treatment largely depends on the situation and severity of the pathology. Therefore, removable correction plates, which are usually prescribed for younger children, can be used. If the situation is somewhat more complicated, then braces are installed.

What to say about the treatment of an adult, everything is much more complicated than in the previous cases. After all, the bone system has long been strengthened and formed, and it is not so easy to "force" to take the proper position. Therefore, the same bracket systems are used for the treatment of adults. However, this is not all limited, perhaps also the use of a specialized Brukle apparatus. Its principle of operation is based on the pull of the jaws. In addition to the above options for correction, there are others.

And what will happen if not treated?

At once it is possible to tell, that precisely will not be at those who refuses to eliminate a problem. This is the teeth! After all, the progeny affects not only aesthetics and the ability to eat normally, it also contributes to the development of diseases.

And especially often there are problems with loosening of the teeth, their rotting and, as a result, loss. Incorrect bite contributes to diseases of soft tissues, gums, as some individual teeth experience excessive stress. And this suggests the possibility of thinning of the jaw bone system. As a result, the root system of the tooth will climb out. Teeth will begin to "hang out." It is not difficult to guess that this is a periodontitis.

In addition to all the above, you need to understand that personal oral hygiene can be a problem. As a result, plaque will be deposited, and then there will be caries, dental stones.

Therefore, it is better to think carefully before giving up treatment.

Conclusion

If pathology is not innate, then it is relatively easy to cope with it. However, with congenital anomalies of the osseous system, one can also fight. All this is not easy, but it is necessary to do it. And it is even better to conduct annual preventive examinations and monitor your habits.

Be healthy!
