Protrusion

Protrusion (from Latin protrudere - push forward) is a term used in dentistry to refer to the advancement of the lower jaw forward relative to the upper jaw.

Protrusion can be physiological or pathological. Physiological protrusion is the normal protrusion of the lower jaw when opening the mouth. Pathological protrusion is a malocclusion in which part of the teeth protrudes forward relative to the rest.

The causes of pathological protrusion can be congenital anomalies of jaw development, premature removal of baby teeth, dysfunction of chewing and swallowing. Clinically, protrusion manifests itself in the protrusion of the anterior teeth of the upper jaw forward relative to the lower ones, as well as in an increase in the anteroposterior size of the lower part of the face.

Treatment of protrusion depends on the degree of its severity and the age of the patient. It may include the use of removable and fixed orthodontic appliances, surgical correction of malocclusions, as well as a complex of myogymnastics to strengthen the masticatory muscles. The opposite of protrusion is retrusion - a backward displacement of the lower jaw.

Protrusion is a malocclusion in dentistry, in which some teeth move forward in relation to the rest. This can be caused by various factors such as improper jaw growth, underdeveloped teeth, or misaligned teeth.

One of the most common manifestations of protrusion is the advancement of the lower jaw forward. This can lead to problems with chewing and speaking, as well as problems with teeth and gums.

To treat protrusion, you need to contact an orthodontist. He will conduct diagnostics and determine the cause of the anomaly. After this, he may suggest various treatment methods such as braces, mouth guards or surgical procedures.

Some treatments can be quite complex and require time and patience. However, if you approach treatment correctly, you can achieve good results and return your teeth to their normal position.

Protrusion or protrusion of teeth is an abnormal arrangement of teeth in which they protrude forward relative to other teeth. This can be caused by various factors such as genetics, malocclusion, trauma and others.

In dentistry, protrusion can be diagnosed in both adults and children. It can lead to various problems, such as improper distribution of the load on the teeth, increased sensitivity of the teeth and gums, and impaired chewing function.

To treat tooth protrusion, bite correction and braces may be required. Physiotherapeutic procedures such as gum massage and muscle exercises may also be prescribed. In some cases, surgery may be required.

However, before starting treatment, it is necessary to diagnose and determine the cause of the protrusion. Only after this can effective treatment be prescribed.
