Malocclusion
Referring to teeth, when the bite does not line up properly
Question: What can I do for my rabbit's malocclusion? I just found out that my rabbit has malocclusion and his teeth were clipped. One of his teeth fell out. Will it affect how he eats? Is there a special food that I can feed him? I'm wondering if he needs to be on a soft food diet now. How often should his teeth be clipped? Will chewing on wood chews be helpful to him?
Answer: I have kept rabbits for many years and worked with a vet before. Sometimes rabbits teeth fall out when they are clipped, but they soon grow back. No special diet is required if this happens, but it might not eat as much for a few days. To slow the rate of growth of the teeth down, you should supplement with plenty hay. A wood chew will help if he will use one- mine never did. I had a rabbit will a malocclusion that I found abandoned in the street. A malocclusion will not improve. Your rabbit will need its teeth trimmed several times a year. This is something I learned to do myself and if you have a willing vet, they will show you how...if you are happy doing it.( I had a very patient bunny!) Another option that the vet mentioned to me was removal of the teeth involved. I did not go for this option as I was confident in being able trim them, but it might be something you could discuss with your vet. I hope this helps...
Question: I have untreated class 1 malocclusion. What's going to happen as the disease progresses and when? Presently, my only symptoms are occasional slightly loose front teeth which firm up when I stop using them and very very slight accompanying pain. If left untreated what could happen? And how long do I have until it does?
Answer: Most people have some degree of malocclusion, although it isn't usually serious enough to require treatment. Those who have more severe malocclusions may require orthodontic and sometimes surgical treatment to correct the problem. Correction of malocclusion may reduce risk of tooth decay and help relieve excessive pressure on the temporomandibular joint. Orthodontic treatment is also used to align for aesthetic reasons.
Malocclusions may be coupled with skeletal disharmony of the face, where the relations between the upper and lower jaws are not appropriate. In these cases the dental problem is, most of the time, derived from the skeletal disharmony.
Question: What are some health risks or health problems due to malocclusion? Breathing problems?
Anything?
Answer: Malocclusions may be coupled with skeletal disharmony of the face, where the relations between the upper and lower jaws are not appropriate. In these cases the dental problem is, most of the time, derived from the skeletal disharmony.
# Class I: Here the molar relationship of the occlusion is normal or as described for the maxillary first molar, but the other teeth have problems like spacing, crowding, over or under eruption, etc.
# Class II: ("overbite") In this situation, the upper molars are placed not in the mesiobuccal groove but anteriorly to it. Usually the mesiobuccal cusp rests in between the first mandibular molars and second premolars.
Crowding of the teeth is treated with orthodontics, often with, tooth extraction, dental braces, followed by growth modification in children or jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) in adults.
Question: Can a malocclusion cause poor nasal breathing? Does having an overjet and overbite cause you to have poor nasal breathing? Why?
Answer: Not likely.
It is the symptoms and not the cause.
A poor diet growing up caused the poor development of your face and nasal passageways.
Consider visiting a Cranial Osteopath or SOT trained chiropractor.
Question: Is there a non surgical way to fix class II mandibular malocclusion or names of Specialist? my son has this problem and they want to perform expensive surgery to correct it.
Answer: Depends on his age.
If he is about 6/7, then they can use his growth spur, use a headgear to arrest the growth of the maxilla and allow the mandible to grow.
Thus, the Class II malocclusion can be corrected.
However, if he is much older, he will need the surgery to correct the malocclusion.
Question: I there any way you can fix malocclusion problems on a rabbit besides having to trim it's teeth every month? Also I took my rabbit to the vet and they gave me some shampoo but I've heard it's not safe to bathe your rabbit? Is it? and if a vet says it is then why do so many peopl say it's not?
Answer: hi there! i had one of my rabbits have the same thing happen and other than giving it hard things to chew on even then theres not much you can do to stop the teeth from growing so having them trimmed is really the only thing you can do. as far as giving the rabbit a bath you have to make sure that you get it totaly dry every time you bath it and it can dry out the fur if you do it too much
Question: Can TMJ cause bite problems and malocclusion? My teeth clash in the day time. Could this be a result of TMJ? This is a recent thing and not something that I have suffered my entire life.
Answer: Absolutely.
Question: Is there any surgical/quick method for treating malocclusion of teeth? Braces take a very long time so any other method for anteriorly protruded teeth?
Answer: depends on if its indicated or not and on age of the patient, but yes there are a lot of surgical techniques to correct this, but if ur age is less than 20 i recommend braces
Question: my rabbit has malocclusion on one of his front incisor, and that tooth is also crooked. what to do? I think it would be best for the vet to remove the tooth.
Answer: yep i agree, vet.
Question: How long do you have to wear retainers if you have Bruxism or Malocclusion?
Answer: You don't really wear retainers for bruxism. Your dentist can make you an appliance to wear at night to keep you from wearing down your teeth, also a splint can be made for this problem too. Mainly these appliances for bruxism are worn mainly at night, so probably as long as you have the problem. Be sure to ask your dentist about the risks of wearing a splint, because it has been known to cause an open bite. Hope that helps
Question: Who can help me find an article about "malocclusion angle class II and mandibolari retrusion" and its history? I want to know how this treatment was made in the past (how it started) and how it is done now
Answer: try pubmed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ enter keywords and search
Question: Sinus issues related to TMJ and Class III Malocclusion? I have been having chronic sinus issues lately, along with headaches and tooth pain. I've been told I needed surgery to correct my bite, but it just hasn't happened yet. Do sinus problems arise from TMJ and mis-aligned bites?
Answer: I was having everything from headaches, sinus problems, ear infections and vision problems. All this due to having a bad bite. I've been wearing braces since March and elastics (rubber bands) for the past 4 months. I've been symptom free for months now and it's been wonderful!! Can't believe the dentist has not suggested this for you. It's cheaper and easier then having the jaw surgery, that's my opinion!!
Hope this information helps and GOOD LUCK with whatever treatment you choose!!
Question: If I have malocclusion can I get braces? The dentist told me I only need braces cosmetically, but I think I have malocclusion so if I did, would I NNEED braces?
Answer: Dentists can correct a malocclusion using braces, but they are also used simply for cosmetic reasons. Your orthodonist will be able to tell you if you have a malocclusion. Either way, you can get braces. If you have a malocclusion do you NEED braces? It depends on what's wrong with your bite. Perhaps you have an anterior open bite, meaning your anterior teeth don't touch. You may function better if such a problem were fixed, but that doesn't mean it has to be. All this is something you need to talk to a real orthodonist about. Your general dentist is not a bite specialist!!!
Question: How to relieve headache malocclusion class 3? i have a headache and i can't relieve
Answer: Over and underbite can definitely cause headache. Hopefully you are receiving treatment already.
My plan of attack is this:
First I take 600mg of Ibuprofen (any brand will do), along with 1000mg of Tylenol (generic is fine). This way you're hitting the headache in two ways: with an anti-inflammatory and a pain reducer. It will stop the inflammation in your head and raise your tolerance to what're called painful stimuli.
If that doesn't work after 2 doses (every 4-6 hours), I move on to my prescriptions. First I try 2 Midrins, which is a combination pain reducer, vein constrictor, and sedative. That usually does the trick. If it's a REALLY bad one, then I take a 10mg Maxalt melt with 50mg Indomethacin. Maxalt is what's called a triptan, which works on a certain part of your head where pain usually emulates, and indomethacin is a powerful anti-inflammatory.
Good luck, hope my "plan" works for you. Obviously you will need to get the prescription choices from a doctor. Don't worry - they're not narcotics so if you ask for them, you won't get yelled at.
Question: So apparently I have a Class II malocclusion? Whats the deal here? Is it not possible to live with it? Am I doomed? How did people deal with this when there were no such things as orthodontics .
Answer: Class II malocclusion means you have an "overbite". It just means your top and bottom teeth are not aligned. You can live with it, as it is not really a real problem, just cosmetic. You are not doomed, and many people prefer to not fix the problem because surgery may be too expensive or just unnecessary.
Question: What is the difference between TMJ and malocclusion?
Answer: I'm a dentist.
When you tear the anterior cruciate ligament in your knee, do you say, "I have ACL"? ACL stands for "anterior cruciate ligament", and "TMJ" stands for temporomandibular joint. The TMJ is simply an anatomical component of your body, i.e. the joint between your mandible and your head.
Malocclusion, on the other hand, is essentially "bad" occlusion, i.e. where one's maxillary teeth do not occlude with their mandibular teeth in the "proper" fashion. Some argue that this can lead to TMJ problems, but this relationship is debated among dental professionals.
Question: Does anyone know every dental malocclusion there is for teeth? I need it for this big project thats due in May
Answer: yeah. STOP USING BIG WORDS!!!!!
you know im not that smarttt!!!!
AHHHHH

Question: What type of malocclusion is this? It is my understanding that the upper front teeth should slightly overlap the bottom front teeth. I had bad teeth as a child and braces helped somewhat. To this day, my upper teeth align exactly on top of my lower front teeth. I believe this is causing me to mouth breathe, as I don't have allergies anymore. What type of bite is this called? Can invisalign fix something like this?
Thanks,
George
Answer: You are right, your upper teeth should overlap your bottom teeth . This bite is called 'end to end' bite. Invisalign could potentially fix something like this, but your best bet would be to see a dentist/orthodontist. They can assess your bite a lot better, and see where the problem lies.
