No ke aha he niho niho ko mākou?

• Ehia mau manawa e loaʻa ai i nā kānaka nā niho naʻauao?
• No ke aha e hemo ai nā niho naʻauao?

Ma kahi manawa ma waena o 17 a 21 mau makahiki, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mākua e hoʻomohala i kā lākou kolu o nā molara. Ua kapa ʻia kēia mau molara he niho akamai.

Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā niho e kā lākou hoʻonohonoho ʻana a me kā lākou hana. Hiki i nā niho ʻoi ke haehae i ka meaʻai i nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi a wili nā niho pālahalaha i ka meaʻai i lalo. ʻO nā niho naʻau ke ʻano pālahalaha o nā niho, i kapa ʻia ʻo nā molars. Aia nā molars āpau i ka hope o kou waha. Loaʻa i nā mākua ʻekolu mau seta o nā molara ma luna a ma lalo, a ma nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua o ka waha.

Mai ka wā kamaliʻi a hiki i ka wā ʻōpio, hoʻomohala nā kānaka i ko lākou mau niho mua, lilo iā lākou, a loaʻa hou kahi hoʻonohonoho hou. Aia kahi hoʻomaha iki a laila hou, i ka wā ʻōpio, hoʻomaka ke ʻano o nā niho.

Kāhea ʻia lākou he niho naʻauao no ka mea ʻo lākou nā niho hope loa e kupu. Kuhi paha ʻoe he "akeakamai" ke komo mai kēia mau niho.

Ehia mau manawa e loaʻa ai i nā kānaka nā niho naʻauao?

ʻO nā niho āpau e loaʻa i ke kanaka ma ka wā hānau, ʻoi aku i luna i ka iwi poʻo. ʻO ka mea mua, he 20 mau niho pēpē e hū a hāʻule i waho. A laila ulu nā niho mau he 32. ʻO ka papa mua o nā molars ʻike pinepine ʻia i ka makahiki 6, ka lua o ka hoʻonohonoho ma kahi o 12, a me ka set hope (nā niho naʻauao) i kekahi manawa ma mua o ka makahiki 21.

I ka manawa e pono ai no ka papaʻai kanaka mua o nā aʻa, lau, ʻiʻo, a me nā nati, ʻaʻole pono nā niho naʻauao. I kēia lā, kuke nā kānaka i ka meaʻai e palupalu iā ia, a hiki iā mākou ke ʻoki a ʻokiʻoki iā ia me nā mea hana.

Manaʻo nā Anthropologists ua ulu aʻe nā kānaka ma mua o ka pono o nā niho akamai, no laila ʻaʻole loa e loaʻa i kekahi poʻe. Hele paha nā niho naʻauao i ke ala o ka hoʻopili a lilo i mea ʻole loa. ʻAʻole ia he mea kupanaha i kekahi poʻe noiʻi inā i kekahi lā ʻaʻohe mea i loaʻa i ka niho ke akamai.

Eia nō naʻe, hana nā genetics i ka hapa nui o nā mākua e hoʻomohala i ko lākou mau niho akamai. ua loaʻa ma ka liʻiliʻi he 53 pākēneka o ka poʻe i loaʻa ma kahi o hoʻokahi ka naʻauao niho i komo mai. Ua ʻoi aku paha ka loaʻa o nā kāne iā lākou ma mua o nā wahine.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole wale ʻoe e ʻike i kāu mau niho noʻonoʻo āpau ʻaʻole lākou i manaʻo ma laila. I kekahi manawa ʻaʻole e hū nā niho naʻauao a ʻaʻole e ʻike ʻia. Hiki i kahi X-ray ke hōʻoia inā loaʻa iā ʻoe nā niho naʻauao ma lalo o kāu puʻupuʻu.

ʻIke ʻia paha ʻaʻole paha, hiki i nā niho akamai ke hoʻopilikia i ke olakino olakino waha. Kāhea ʻia nā niho akamai ʻaʻole i hū i loko o nā kāʻei. I kekahi manawa kumu kēia i nā pilikia hou aʻe ma mua o nā niho ʻike ʻike ʻia.

No ke aha e hemo ai nā niho naʻauao?

Ua emi ka liʻiliʻi o ke kanaka a me kā mākou iwi ā i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa. Aia paha kekahi mau kumu no kēia holomua o ka evolution. Manaʻo kekahi mau ʻepekema i ka ulu ʻana o ka lolo o ke kanaka ma mua o ka manawa, ua liʻiliʻi ka ʻāʻī e hoʻokomo i kahi ākea.

Ua loli nui hoʻi kā mākou papaʻai a me nā pono niho. ʻO ka manaʻo o nā ā liʻiliʻi, ʻaʻole lawa ka lumi i ka waha no nā niho āpau a mākou e manaʻo ai. ʻEhā mau niho naauao i ka huina, ʻelua ma luna a ʻelua ma lalo. Hiki i nā kānaka ke loaʻa i kekahi o nā niho akamai mai ka ʻole a i ka ʻehā.

Hoʻonui ʻia ka nui o nā iwi ā i ka manawa he 18 mau makahiki o ke kanaka, akā puka ka hapa nui o nā niho ʻike ke kokoke kahi kanaka i kahi o 19.5 mau makahiki. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā pilikia i hoʻokumu ʻia e nā niho naʻauao no ka mea ʻaʻole kūpono.

ʻO nā pilikia e pili ana i nā niho naʻauao:

• niho kekee
• lehulehu nā niho
• na niho naauao e ulu ana ma ka aoao
• mahuahua ka palaho niho
• ʻeha ka ʻāʻī
• nā cist ma lalo o ka gum a me nā hikoko

Kuhi ka American Dental Association e pono ana ka hemo ʻana inā ʻike ʻia kekahi o nā loli i luna.

Paipai ʻia e loiloi i nā ʻōpio no ka ʻoki ʻana o nā niho naʻauao. ʻO ka poʻe e hoʻoneʻe i ko lākou mau niho ʻiʻo i ka wā ʻōpio ʻōpio e mālama maikaʻi aʻe mai ke ʻoki ʻana, ma mua o ka hoʻokumu ʻana o nā aʻa a me ka iwi. Hiki i kēia ke kōkua i ka pale ʻana i nā pilikia e hiki mai ana ma mua o ka hoʻomaka.

Aia mau nā pōpilikia e pili pū ana me ke kahakaha no laila e noʻonoʻo e nīnau i nā nīnau he nui ke hoʻoholo ʻoe inā hemo paha kēia mau niho. Inā hoʻoholo ʻoe ʻaʻole e hemo i kou mau niho naʻauao, pono e nānā pono ʻia e kāu kauka niho. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā pilikia o ka niho o ka naʻauao ma mua o ka manawa.

I kekahi manawa e paipai nā kauka niho i ka hemo ʻana o ka niho ma mua o ka hana o ka orthodontic, e like me nā mea paʻa, e hōʻoia ʻaʻole e hū kēia mau niho ma hope a wehe i nā hana nui a pau i ka hana ʻana i kou iwi a me nā niho.

ʻO kahi kauka niho ʻoihana a waha paha a maxillofacial surgeon hiki ke hemo i kou mau niho akamai. Hāʻawi lākou iā ʻoe i nā kuhikuhi ākea e pili ana i ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana no ke kaha ʻana a me nā mea e hana ai i ka wā o ke ola.
