Many people particularly children, habitually bite or suck thel upper or lower lips. As a chronic or constant problem, thi leaves lip biters with dry, chapped, swollen lips and often 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 conse quence of biting or sucking the top lip, the front teeth may even be pushed in. When the condition becomes severe, orthodonti intervention may be called for. Nelson Hersh DDS, MS Licensed Specialist If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Hersh at the newest state-of- the-art facility in West Bloomfield/ Commerce lWp., 2300 Haggerty Rd., Suite 1160, 248-926-4100. 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 mean-' time, parents should keep a lookout for this (and other) problems in an effort to correct them early. Many times an inappropriat habit may be due to an underlying occlusion problem, which is how the upper and lower teeth are related together, or even pos- sibly the relationship of the upper and lower jaw bones. Other times it is possible that the habit can create mismatches between the Jaws or exaggerate them. The best time to begin orthodontic intervention or treatment will: vary depending on the type or severity of the problem. The ortho- dontist has the training and the experience to determine the best age and most effective treatment. It is best to allow an ortho- , dontist specialist to perform an exam to determine ideal timing of correction. — - 248-926-4100 — - hershorthodontics. corn 1317960 — Beale-Regenbogen erome and Gail Beale of West Bloomfield are thrilled to announce ▪ the engagement of their son Ryan Gordon to Lauren Beth Regenbogen, daugh- ter of Howard and Gail Regenbogen of Northbrook, Ill.
