At the same time, 80 percent of children have problems with bite.
Many people think that braces are placed solely for the sake of even and beautiful teeth. Wrong bite is the last thing to think about. But in vain! It turns out that the bite affects the posture and speech of the child. With an incorrect bite, the functions of breathing, swallowing, and chewing are impaired.
“Well, this does not concern our child,” some parents will think and will be wrong.
– More than 80 percent of children today have malocclusion, which parents find out about too late, when expensive treatment with braces is already required, and sometimes the removal of healthy teeth. But the bite is only the visible part of the problem, the causes of which lie much deeper, says myofunctional therapist Yana Kostina, which will become one of the participants in the educational project “Healthy Children”.
As part of the project, leading Russian doctors will read a series of lectures on children’s health for parents. All lessons are free.
The lectures will tell about the features of feeding babies for the prevention of malocclusion. They will talk about habits that affect the bite, explain whether a pacifier is harmful, how to wean a child from sucking a thumb. Separate lectures will be devoted to the milk bite and preparation for the mixed bite. They will tell parents what to pay special attention to during this important period of development. There will be a lecture on bite and posture formation, as well as tips for correcting it, including exercises that you can do at home.
Lectures will be held weekly on Sundays. The first lesson will take place already March 11 and will be devoted to the topic “Malocclusion in a child. Causes and Prevention ”. Start in 12: 30.

The lectures will be held at VDNKh, in pavilion 70, the office of the League for the Health of the Nation.
