Correct speech of the child and an acceptable appearancedepends on the development of an inconspicuous formation, such as the bridle of the upper lip located in the gingival region. The future bite of the child depends on it.
Pathology in development can affect feedingbreast, cause nipple inflammation in the mother. From the correct determination of the cause of its appearance depends the future health of the child. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to independently identify problems, often a defect is detected much later.
The main inconvenience is the short bridle of the upper lip in the child, when the attachment is below 5-7 mm of the top of the incisors. The diagnosis is made if it is impossible to determine the location of the connection.
There are the following undesirable aspects that are formed when the frenum develops incorrectly:
Incorrect arrangement of teeth willcorrect the dentist. The surgeon will perform an operation on the tissues to cut the bridle of the upper lip in children. A constantly open mouth will lead to the entry of harmful microbes, which will reduce the protective function of the body. The mucous nose copes with cleaning the air entering the lungs not by 100%, but through the mouth penetrates much more bacteria.
The problem of disorders in the development of connective tissue is established by external examination of the patient. A broken bite indicates a problem. How is the displacement formed?
When the baby teeth have already fallen out and grown new,permanent, the bridle of the upper lip in the child pulls the upper jaw during its intensive work while eating. Constant pressure gradually affects the soft tissues, the jumper between the gum and lip is stretched. In most children, the condition is normalized with age, but the percentage of defective cases still exists.
The consequence of discomfort is sometimes such diseases of the oral cavity as:
Gingivitis, in turn, is able to causeexposure of the neck of the tooth. Gum loss provokes the development of other tooth diseases: bleeding, inflammation of the tissues around the tooth or leads to its final loss. External defects appear when smiling: a plaque is formed on the cervical space, suppuration, the roots are visible. Inflammatory processes affect the gum itself. The formation of the so-called pocket leads to loosening of the tooth.
A short bridle of the upper lip turns into an unpleasant symptom - an increase in the sensitivity of the teeth. Reception of hot tea or cold milk is accompanied by painful sensations.
Pathology in the development of the lips leads the child tospeech therapist, because there are problems in the pronunciation of some sounds. The bridle interferes with the free movement of the tongue, stretching when trying to produce a guttural tonality.
By analogy with the upper part, the lower part is also formed in the mirror image. All these pathologies, which form the frenum of the upper lip, also occur in this case.
An important place is the process of developing the nipplewhen breastfeeding in women. Cropping the bridle of the upper lip in children is carried out in the hospital. If there is a pathology, there will not be a proper vacuum between the mouth and the mother's nipple. This will lead to pain and complete refusal of the baby from milk.
In cases of developmental disorders, the lower incisors suffer,gums are gummed, gaps between teeth are enlarged, carious conditions appear. If the upper lip becomes a hare, the lower lip looks like an ass.
Comparison with animals will clearly tellparents, that it is required to visit the surgeon and conduct plastic - undercutting. In addition to the listed defects of the mouth, there are cases of violation of the length of the tongue bridle. Here there are significant problems in the pronunciation of all sounds, its movement is limited.
Приведем изображение, где показана уздечка upper lip. The photo below illustrates a problematic site and a cosmetic defect in the development of pathology. Sometimes it is necessary to prune it when performing dental treatment for a dentist.
Short bridle of the upper lip in the child is subject tocorrected in an operative way. Tissue plastic surgery is painless and takes little time. She has age restrictions: the child must be at least 7 years old. Milk teeth must fall and grow new, permanent.
The exception is the case when the mother suffers inconvenience while breastfeeding - then the operation is carried out in the hospital. In other cases, a natural correction of the frenum with age is possible.
Doctors choose the moment for the incision during the beginning of the growth of molars. In the process of forming the occlusion, the lumen between the adjacent incisors is closed.
Methods of treatment are applicable to conditions when the bridle of the upper and lower lip interferes, as well as to correct problems in the free movement of the tongue.
There are three types of adjustment of the length of the bridle:undercutting with a scalpel or laser, excision and rupture. The latter occurs randomly during active activities of the child. The disadvantage is the uneven formation of the seam. The growth can also be shifted and interfere with the normal functionality of the mouth.
This state can not be ignored.The first thing to do is handle the place of rupture with a disinfectant solution. After this, you should visit the surgeon and equalize the gaps - he will apply even seams.
An additional diagnosis of the child's jaw may be required if the bridle of the upper lip is torn due to an injury. The picture clearly shows whether the teeth were damaged.
В профессиональной медицине используют другие the names of operations on the bridle: frenuloplastika - displacement of the frenum by surgical method, frenotomy is defined as dissection and frenectomy means excision.
Before carrying out the incision, a survey is performeda patient with an orthodontist, a surgeon and a speech therapist. The dentist makes a less significant contribution to the formation of a referral to the surgical method of treating the bridle. The restriction is superimposed on the period until all 4 upper incisors are cut through.
When working with a scalpel, a localanesthesia. After the operation, a barely visible seam, resorbed for a month, can remain. The bridle of the upper lip is significantly injured by this method. Anesthesia can form a small edema.
If the bridle of the upper lip is wide enough for the longitudinal incision with a scalpel, then cut along. The surgeon applies seams perpendicular to the line of motion of the knife.
Cut across, if the child has a narrow frenum of the lip. The upper jaw is given a normal appearance due to the release of the facial part. The tissues between the teeth are removed with a scalpel by excision.
Зазор между зубами можно закрыть dental methods. After the operation, the bite is corrected by installing brackets for a long time. Another way is to close the channel with veneers - it is a seal made of ceramics or composite materials of white color.
Recently, the bridle of the upperlips with a laser. This method has a huge advantage over cutting with a scalpel or knife. As a local anesthetic, a special gel applied directly to the site of the cut is used.
Unlike the surgical method, suturing is not required, the wound is cauterized and immediately acquires a normal appearance. The process is similar to the process of adhesion of polymeric materials.
The seam is formed instantly, the whole procedure is spent no more than 15 minutes. Accordingly, the recovery period is reduced threefold.
If the operation is carried out by a small child, then after visiting the clinic, you should immediately start feeding. It is required to develop a bridle every day until full recovery.
The scalpel dissects the skin, damaging the bloodvessels. Bleeding is formed, inflammatory processes are possible during the recovery period. The bridle of the lower lip is healing for a long time, saliva, liquid and food are constantly accumulating there.
An adult can follow a diet andonce again do not irritate the receptors with delicious food, but what if the operation is carried out in infants? The medical device for correcting the frenum comes to the rescue - the laser.
An experienced specialist conducts the procedure in a dental clinic. A hospital for this method is not required. Let's highlight the main advantages of laser surgery before the usual surgical method:
Correct bridle operative waycosts within a few thousand rubles. The price for fixing the defect with the device varies within the limits of 10 thousand. Most people who have a lip defect choose the last method of getting rid of a short frenum.
To go through the procedure for adjusting the frenumupper lip, visit the speech therapist and orthopedist for consultation. A breastfeed is recommended to feed before the procedure to avoid problems during the operation.
Special training for operating is notit takes. The entire process is safe for tissues. The only recommendation is to clean the oral cavity, which should be provided before going to the doctor.
