"A Little Bite Here and a
Little Bite There"
Many people, particularly children, habitually bite or suck their
upper or lower lips. As a chronic or constant problem, this
leaves lip biters with dry, chapped, swollen lips and often a
characteristic red ring around their mouths. This habit can also
result in the upper front teeth not making proper contact
with the lower teeth, creating a space between them. As a

consequence of biting or sucking the top lip, the front teeth
may even be pushed in. When the condition becomes
severe, orthodontic intervention May be called for.

First, however, as with thumb or finger sucking, the habit which led to the poor bite
must be corrected. The orthodontist may provide some helpful options for remedying
the habit. In the meantime, parents should keep a lookout for this (and other) prob-
lems in an effort to correct them early. Many times an inappropriate habit may be due
to an underlying occlusion problem, which is how the upper and lower teeth are relat-
ed together, or even possibly the relationship of the upper and lower jaw bones._.0ther
times it is possible that the habit can create mismatches between the jaws or exagger-
ate them.
The best time to begin orthodontic intervention or treatment will vary depending on
the type of severity of the problem. The orthodontist has the training and the experi-
ence to determine the best age and most effective treatment. It is best to allow an
orthodontist specialist to perform an exam to determine ideal timing of correction.
