La sobremordida es un problema de maloclusión dental muy común entre la sociedad. Su principal característica es que los dientes superiores frontales sobresalen excesivamente a los dientes inferiores y el maxilar se encuentra adelantado con respecto a la mordida.

Aunque este tipo de maloclusión habitualmente es hereditario, hay otros factores que pueden influir en tener la sobremordida.

Cuáles son los factores que pueden provocar la sobremordida

Tal y como hemos mencionado, la sobremordida puede transmitirse de generación en generación. Sin embargo, los siguientes factores pueden afectar:

Hábitos infantiles: la succión del pulgar, más conocido como comportamiento de succión no nutritiva, da lugar a la sobremordida. Cuando este hábito continúa más allá de los 2 o 4 años, es decir, cuando ya se tienen los dientes permanentes, provoca una presión creada por la succión y el dedo. Dicha succión da lugar a que los dientes permanentes no tengan un ángulo normal. Esto también puede ocurrir con los chupetes.

Empujar con la lengua: en un acto involuntario, la lengua empuja los dientes frontales hacia delante. Aunque este hecho normalmente da lugar a la mordida abierta, hay veces que puede provocar una sobremordida.

Problemas que genera la sobremordida

Dependiendo de la gravedad, la sobremordida puede generar distintos problemas de salud como los siguientes:

Apiñamiento en los dientes.

Debido al apiñamiento mencionado anteriormente, hay mayor probabilidad de caries provocada por la falta de higiene bucodental.

Impedimentos en el habla.

Problemas respiratorios.

Deficiencias al masticar.

Dolor al masticar y al morder.

Daños a otros dientes y a las encías.

Tensión excesiva en la mandíbula, lo cual da lugar a bruxismo.

Problemas estéticos.

¿Cuál es el tratamiento de la sobremordida?

Ortodoncia interceptiva

Este tipo de ortodoncia hace referencia a aparatos que se ponen a niños con edades entre los 6 y los 11 años para guiar el desarrollo de los huesos maxilares durante la fase de crecimiento.

Ortodoncia en adolescentes y adultos

A diferencia del caso anterior, ya únicamente podemos corregir la posición de los dientes. Por lo que tendremos que realizar uno de los tratamientos más comunes: la ortodoncia.

Gracias a la ortodoncia con brakets se consigue mover gradualmente los dientes y tener una sonrisa más armónica. En ocasiones, puede ocurrir que el maxilar superior es demasiado pequeño y es necesario expandir el paladar. Para realizar este procedimiento se necesita de un aparato especial que separa las piezas para ensanchar el paladar.

Ortodoncia invisible

Al igual que el caso anterior, se puede utilizar para tratar la sobremordida en adultos y en adolescentes. Durante este tratamiento se colocan alineadores de plástico transparente hechos a medida y que van cambiando gradualmente la posición de las piezas dentales.

Cirugía ortognática

Daily tooth care is essential to maintain a long-lasting good oral health. Over the years, cosmetic dentistry has become one of the main reasons for going to the dentist, some of its aesthetic treatments being veneers or dental crowns.

Nowadays, having yellowish or stained teeth is one of the aesthetic problems to which more and more people seek to find a quick and long lasting solution. For this reason, teeth whitening is one of the most performed treatments by cosmetic dentistry professionals for years.

In this way, you should take into account these 8 tips to have whiter teeth and, in turn, healthier.

1. Regular visits

to the dentist/ dental hygienist to remove tartar and polish stainings that you can’t remove yourself. Ultrasound and airflow are two efficient tools we use to remove stainings in short time.

2. A good tooth brushing.

Brushing your teeth 3 times a day for 2 or 3 minutes is vital so that your teeth are in good health and thus avoid possible infections.

3. New toothbrush.

It is important to change the toothbrush every 4 months due to the appearance of bacteria after continued use. Maintaining good hygiene on the tongue is essential to have proper oral hygiene.

4. Flossing or interdental brush/ water flow.

Although toothbrushing is a must, flossing is, too. In this way, you are able to eliminate the remains of food that remain between your teeth and thus avoid the appearance of bacteria.

5. Avoid tobacco, drink and food that can stain your teeth.

It is advisable not to consume acidic food or food with a high sugar content very often; or colored food or drinks that can stain teeth like wine, coffee, keptchup, blue berries, curry, balsamic vinegar etc. Tobacco has chemicals that are harmful to dental health.

6. Eat food. with bleaching and cleaning properties.

There are some food

that can whiten your teeth such as dairy products by providing calcium and balancing the pH (milk, cheese, yogurt), some fruits or vegetables because when consumed they help clean teeth (apple, green beans and crunchy vegetables in general).

7. Use mouthwashes

It is advisable to use a mouthwash after brushing your teeth in order to remove bacteria found in the mouth to prevent tooth discoloration.

Mouthwashes that contains Clorhexidine stains the teeth.

8. Drink and rinse with water after every meal to remove food rests.

If you have any further questions about your dental health and how to keep them whiter, please contact us.

We are more than happy to help you 🦋
