The doctor named a way to independently check the bite of a child.

On May 3, orthodontist Nadiya Ramazanova told how to check a child's bite on her own.

In conversation with aif.ru The specialist noted that problems with bite in children can be both congenital and form after — due to bad habits, dietary habits or late treatment by specialists. However, even with a genetic predisposition, early prevention helps to reduce risks.

According to her, nutrition plays an important role: prolonged consumption of only soft foods slows down the development of the jaws, so it is important to introduce harder foods from an early age. No less significant are bad habits such as sucking a finger, prolonged use of a pacifier and the pressure of foreign objects on the teeth. If you can't manage on your own, you should contact a specialist.

The expert advised parents to monitor the child's breathing and swallowing: breathing through the mouth during sleep, incorrect tongue position or facial muscle tension may indicate emerging disorders. It is also important to pay attention to the closure of teeth — deviations, asymmetry or crowding are a reason for consultation.

Ramazanova stressed that even in the absence of obvious problems, it is advisable to show the child to an orthodontist from the age of three or four. At this age, it is possible to identify risks and, if necessary, begin a gentle correction, since the jawbones are still plastic and well amenable to change. Early intervention, she says, often helps to avoid difficult treatment in the future.
