口腔臨床英語對(duì)話 第27期:錯(cuò)頜畸形(2)
通常是在病人十歲或十一歲乳牙脫落之后開始進(jìn)行治療的。
That reminds me, Doctor; It seems that mydaughter's adult teeth are very late. They take sucha long time to grow in.
醫(yī)生，您倒是提醒了我，看來我女兒的恒牙長的很遲，她的恒牙長得很慢。
Her baby teeth stay loose for a long time. They don'tseem to fall out fast enough. When they finally fall out, it still takes a long time for the newteeth to grow in.
她的乳牙松動(dòng)了很長時(shí)間，看來也不很快脫落，就是脫落了，新牙還要很久才長出來。
I wouldn't worry about it too much. There are many differences in the rate of normal toothgrowth. Some children get their permanent teeth much sooner than others, some children"cut" their teeth quickly. Be sure to bring your daughter in for an examination. I want to besure that everything is OK.
這點(diǎn)我倒不擔(dān)心，牙齒正常成長的速度差別很大，有些孩子比別的孩子恒牙長得早，有些孩子出牙出得早，可要把你女兒帶來檢查，先要把一切都弄清楚。
Is it true that this type of treatment should be taken care of at a young age?
在年輕時(shí)便要注意這種治療，是不是?
Yes, a malocclusion should be treated early in life for many reasons.
是的，錯(cuò)頜畸形應(yīng)在年輕時(shí)及早治療是有許多原因：
1) A malocclusion in an adult is much more difficult to treat. It's usually more expensive too.
一、到了年紀(jì)大了，錯(cuò)頜畸形就不好治了，而且也更加花錢。
2) Malocclusion may result in chewing difficulties and excessive strains on the teeth, jaws, andfacial muscles.
二、錯(cuò)頜畸形可能造成咬東西困難，以及牙齒、頜和面部肌肉過度緊張。
3) Crooked teeth are more difficult to keep clean. This usually results in a greater incidence oftooth decay and gum diseases.
三、阻生齒很難保持清潔，這往往造成蛀牙和牙齦病的發(fā)病率增加。
4) Severe malocclusion can cause oral and facial deformities that can result in seriousemotional problems too.
四、最重的錯(cuò)頜畸形能造成口腔和臉部變形，從而引起最重的感情上的問題。
