Orthodontists initially check whether orthodontic treatment is needed, and point out the existing problems and the final results. Then you need to communicate with your doctor to determine whether to have orthodontic treatment.
Clinical data were collected by orthodontists, and panoramic X-rays of oral cavity were taken, as well as photos of face, teeth and oral cavity from all angles. The doctor will also make a model of your teeth, apply quick gel on your teeth, bite 1~2 minutes and take it out.
Discuss in detail the existing problems and treatment plans with orthodontists, whether it is necessary to extract teeth, which teeth to extract, what materials to use, what the final curative effect will be, how long the course of treatment is, and whether the cost is appropriate, and finally reach a satisfactory treatment plan for both parties and sign it for filing. This is a very critical step in orthodontic treatment.
A comprehensive oral examination is conducted by a professional doctor. If you have dental caries, you should treat them first. If you have dental problems such as periodontitis, you need to be cured before you can have formal orthodontic treatment. If there are serious dental calculus, doctors will generally recommend washing teeth. To prevent dental problems from becoming serious after wearing braces, leading to stagnation of orthodontic treatment, but get twice the result with half the effort.
According to the doctor's plan, tooth extraction was carried out in batches. The purpose of tooth extraction is to make irregular space for crowded teeth. Don't worry, as for the gap in tooth extraction, it will be closed.
After a week of tooth separation, you can usually wear braces directly. This process is completed by orthodontists and their assistants. Clean the teeth first, and then stick brackets on the surface of the teeth. After the bracket is stable, tie the archwire to the bracket. Don't eat sticky food such as chewing gum, which is not conducive to oral cleaning.
