How many misunderstandings of orthodontic treatment have you hit?

Many people want to get straight teeth through orthodontic treatment, but in the process of contacting beauty seekers, Xiaomei found that many people have misunderstandings about orthodontic treatment. Here are 4 common misunderstandings sorted out, let's take a look.

1

Teeth become loose after orthodontic treatment

First, the teeth themselves do not stay in place all the time, but are in a balance of stability and movement. Correction is to temporarily break this balance through external force and "move" the teeth.

The bone remodeling caused by orthodontic treatment brings about the physiological movement of the teeth. It is normal for a certain degree of loosening temporarily during the movement, but when the teeth move to a new position, they naturally return to balance and stabilize again.

2

Correction must be extracted

Not all corrections require extractions. Tooth extraction is only a means of orthodontic treatment. If the problem of teeth can be improved without extraction, the doctor will not say to extract the tooth.

The purpose of tooth extraction is to provide sufficient space for protruding and crowded teeth, and also to adjust the occlusal relationship of the teeth. If there is not enough space between your teeth for orthodontic treatment to achieve good results, your doctor may recommend tooth extraction.

3

After tooth extraction, there will be gaps between the teeth

Orthodontics is actually "moving" the teeth from the original position to a new position, and extraction orthodontic treatment is to use the space created by the extraction to align the dentition or recover the protruding teeth.

As long as it is a standard orthodontic treatment, under normal circumstances, the teeth can be closely arranged, and the normal adjacent relationship between the teeth can be restored, and there will be basically no gaps between the teeth.

Correction of unsightly wearing steel teeth

Traditional metal aligners are not beautiful in appearance, low in comfort, and take a long time to correct. However, the current correction methods are flexible and diverse. In addition to metal correction, there are ceramic correction and invisible correction. Beauty seekers who care about aesthetics can consider ceramic correction or invisible correction.

Orthodontics is a complex process. Everyone has different orthodontic solutions and different results. Jimei who needs orthodontic treatment is advised to seek medical help as soon as possible.
