Has anyone dealt with a narrow jaw in their child? How do doctors determine this? One tooth in the bottom row is a bit crooked, like it's not in line, it just grew in a bit off. We went to the dentist, and he says the upper jaw is narrow and needs to be widened. Because of this, the bottom tooth is growing crooked. I don't understand how the upper jaw affects a crooked lower tooth? And if we get a retainer, which one is better, removable or fixed? They say not all kids can eat with a fixed retainer; some have a gag reflex. So now I'm thinking. Please share if you've experienced this.
Девочки, я сейчас пью магний, и всё вокруг вдруг стало для меня просто прекрасным 😅 Подскажите, ско… Do you believe in fate? Like, how much is written for a person is how long they'll live. And neither…

Abramova Yuliya My son's isn't removable, it's more convenient with it, no need to constantly take it out and put it back in.

Abramova Yuliya Did they take a picture before they inserted it?

Abramova Yuliya We first went for a consultation with an orthodontist, who sent us for an X-ray. They saw that his upper jaw was narrow and his permanent teeth were crowded. So, we went back to the orthodontist with the X-ray, they took a digital impression, ordered a custom plate, and fitted it. They told us how often to adjust it and when to come for appointments. It's been in since last November, and we'll be taking it out this October.

Abramova Yuliya You don't have to wait for a retainer until some teeth come in, right?
My son only has two bottom teeth, and they're coming in crooked because there's no space.

Abramova Yuliya Everything is fine, she's eating normally. It was a bit uncomfortable to talk for a couple of days after getting it, but I got used to it quickly. Now it feels like it's not even there.

Abramova Yuliya By the way, you mentioned how the upper jaw affects the lower one, and it's really true. I didn't know until we experienced it ourselves... they expand the upper jaw, and the lower one starts to adapt to it. My son had an incorrect bite; by expanding the upper jaw, the lower one shifted to align with it, correcting the bite. Plus, two of his lower teeth, the molars, came in slightly overlapping, but it was barely noticeable. Now, everything has straightened out.

Abramova Yuliya We only paid for the plate itself; everything else was covered by insurance.
The plate cost 58,000 rubles, but ours had side loops because, due to his bite, there was a question of whether he'd need to wear a face mask at home. These loops are for that. But thankfully, everything normalized without it. Simply put, if we had gotten a plate without loops and his jaw hadn't positioned correctly, we would have had to get a new plate.

Abramova Yuliya And what's the name of the plate itself? They told us it was some kind of Marco Rosa.

Abramova Yuliya When we went to our appointment and they told us about it, I had so many doubts... What if something goes wrong? What if it gets worse? etc... But now, we're supposed to have it removed in October, and I know it was definitely the right decision! But you need to get an X-ray and see a good orthodontist.

Abramova Yuliya Has yours ever broken? I'm just worried about it during meals. They only offer removable ones for free here, but we got this one at a private clinic.

They do CT scans, several X-rays. They process the calculations through a computer program, looking at skull parameters among other things.

Your doctor is right.
First, they widen the top, then the bottom, then both.
It took us 5 years.

Our dentist said to wait until 7 years old, when the bite and the child's jaw are fully formed.

Alena Oh, really? They told us not to wait too long because the canines are coming in, and they might come in a second row if there's no space.

Don't you think doctors study for *** years for a reason? And what did your doctor say about the connection between your upper and lower jaw?
