Prevention Of Malocclusion Of Teeth

Hello,

It is very important to protect deciduous teeth because deciduous teeth are the best space maintainers for the permanent teeth.

Early loss of deciduous teeth results in:
1-Lack of forward growth of the alveolar processes
2-Partial or complete loss of the space heeded for the eruption
of permanent teeth.
3-over eruption of the teeth opposite to the early lost deciduous
teeth.
4-Forward or lateral shift of the mandible resulting in anterior
or posterior crossbite
