This problem usually appears in childhood.<\/p>\n<p>These protruding teeth can give the mouth a very unsightly appearance. However, this is not the most serious <strong>risk<\/strong>. <strong>Tooth protrusion<\/strong> can cause:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tooth decay<\/strong> and gum disease due to <strong>tartar<\/strong> and <strong>plaque build-up<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>If the <strong>protrusion<\/strong> is very pronounced, it can even deform the face and prevent the lips from joining.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These causes justify the need for a solution to this problem.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Most appropriate treatment<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/igbdental.com\/en\/orthodontics\/\"><strong>Orthodontics<\/strong><\/a> is the best way to put an end to this dental problem, either with <strong>classic<\/strong> or <strong>invisible orthodontics<\/strong>. In severe cases, however, <strong>orthognathic surgery<\/strong> may be necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Orthodontic treatment is a valid option for any age and perfectly compatible with <strong>daily oral hygiene<\/strong>. Moreover, it is very easy to wear if the dentist&#8217;s guidelines are strictly followed.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, <strong>braces<\/strong> are much more efficient thanks to technological developments. They are now smaller and more comfortable. They are also more aesthetically pleasing in appearance because they can be fitted with coloured elastic ligatures to suit the patient&#8217;s taste.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>invisible orthodontics<\/strong> are very effective because the aligners move the teeth until they are positioned in the correct place. To undergo this treatment, a mould of the patient&#8217;s mouth must first be taken and digitised in order to digitally place the teeth.<\/p>\n<p>At IGB Dental we will determine the best solution for you. For &#8220;<strong>buck teeth<\/strong>&#8220;? No. For <strong>dental protrusion<\/strong>, yes. We know it&#8217;s the same thing, but we must use the correct term.
