Orthodontic precautions (very important);

Orthodontics generally needs to wear braces (braces) for 2 years, during which it is more painful and the teeth are weak, so you can only eat soft things. If the teeth are not very ugly, it is recommended not to do it. If you must do it, you must be prepared for more than three and a half years of pain. Wear 1 year and a half to 2 years retainer after removing braces. It will eventually rebound a little. The face shape will be improved.

The best correction time is when the permanent teeth are completely aligned, that is, in adolescence. The older you get, the longer it takes you to do orthodontics and wear a retainer.

Because of the long time, we must go to the provincial and municipal stomatological hospitals or people's hospitals to find an expert with the title of deputy chief physician or above, so that he can do it from beginning to end without changing doctors. Never go to a small clinic. Some private oral advertisements are hype, but in fact, the turnover rate is very high, and doctors often change jobs, which is not insurance. It is recommended to go to a large public hospital, where doctors have stable jobs and generally do not change jobs or find new doctors.

Before orthodontics, it is recommended to wash your teeth thoroughly. Because it is easier to grow dental calculus during orthodontics.

It is inconvenient to wear braces to brush your teeth, and it is easy to leave a sanitary corner, which will lead to dental caries and dental calculus. Many people suffer from tooth decay during orthodontics. Therefore, special attention should be paid to oral hygiene during orthodontics. It is strongly recommended to use fluoride mouthwash after each meal during orthodontic treatment, which can effectively remove sanitary dead corners and dental calculus and enhance tooth texture. Do not use medicinal mouthwash. Use high-quality fluoride toothpaste.

After removing the braces, you should also wash your teeth thoroughly.

Note: It is very important to wear the retainer. After wearing braces, it is even more painful. After taking off the braces, people feel very comfortable and have the idea of getting rid of the bondage, but at this time, you must not be careless. You should put on the retainer immediately after you take off your braces. Wear the retainer all day for the first 8 ~ 10 months and take it off when brushing your teeth. Then you can wear it every night without wearing it during the day, and then stick to 12 months. If the retainer is strictly worn, the rebound degree is not large and acceptable. Note: it takes longer to wear the retainer than the doctor said. If the doctor says to wear it all day in the first half of the year, then you need to wear it all day in the first nine months. Some people even want to wear the retainer for life.

Orthodontics does not affect the taste of teeth, gums will not shrink and teeth will not loosen.

People with irregular front teeth can do orthodontics. The most suitable time for a child to have a complete permanent tooth is when he is a teenager. Adults can do it, but the older you get, the longer it takes. Strongly opposed to porcelain teeth. Porcelain teeth have to wear off more than half of their teeth before they can be fitted with artificial crowns, so they taste far less than real teeth. You are still young, and your teeth will accompany you for decades. The front teeth are not easy to use, which obviously affects your quality of life.

Protect teeth, share decades of life experience, and bid farewell to tooth decay completely (original by myself)

My valuable experience and painful lessons in decades of hard struggle against tooth decay prove that only fluoride toothpaste and fluoride mouthwash can prevent tooth decay. Fluorine-free toothpaste, such as various medicine toothpaste, xylitol toothpaste and calcium toothpaste, has no moth-proofing effect. Using fluoride-free toothpaste is of little use even if you brush your teeth carefully and correctly after every meal. Gum is even more useless.

Every word and sentence below is my personal experience, the condensation of decades of efforts, and is by no means copying other people's articles.

Whether a person's teeth are prone to tooth decay is doomed when permanent teeth grow out. Some people seldom brush their teeth, often eat sweets and have no tooth decay; Some people take care of it every day and never eat sweets, but they still eat it. This is because the former is hereditary and the body can easily absorb calcium. When permanent teeth are fixed, the teeth are well calcified and the texture is delicate, so tooth bacteria can't attach to the surface of teeth. The latter's teeth are not well calcified, and there are tiny cracks on the surface, and dental plaque is easy to attach, which is almost impossible to be brushed off by the friction agent in toothpaste. Even with braces, dental plaque sticks to the teeth shamelessly.

God is never fair. Born for the latter, born unlucky, you must work harder than ordinary people to protect your teeth. If you belong to the latter, brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, gargling after meals and not eating sweets and snacks are not enough. Because I am so strict and self-disciplined, my teeth are unusually clean every day, but I still eat, which is chilling! You must use fluoride toothpaste or mouthwash to get it

Fluoride moth-proofing principle (abstruse and negligible): Oral bacteria will release organic acids during carbohydrate metabolism. Bacteria form an attached plaque on the tooth surface, and the organic acids produced by bacteria can be in close contact with the tooth surface for a long time. The main component of teeth is hydroxyapatite, which is easily dissolved by organic acids to generate hydrogen phosphate ions and calcium ions, which spread out of teeth and are washed away by saliva. After fluoride ions are absorbed, they can replace the hydroxyl groups of hydroxyapatite in tissues and teeth by adsorption or ion exchange, so that they can be transformed into fluorapatite, forming a hard protective layer on the surface of teeth, increasing hardness, enhancing acid corrosion and inhibiting the activity of acidophilic bacteria.

Dedicated to my own tooth protection skills (personal secrets), which I have worked hard for decades. The dentist is 100% and will never tell you these secrets.

Mothproof tips, let you say goodbye to tooth decay completely;

1, after brushing your teeth with fluoride toothpaste, rinse your mouth with foam for two or three minutes, let the foam flow between your lips and teeth, and then spit it out. At this time, fluoride ions are dissolved in the foam and easily absorbed by teeth, especially in tiny cavities. Don't swallow by mistake. I rely on this method, which used to be full of dental plaque, but now it is gone, and it can also strengthen fragile teeth.

2, brushing method, for the chewing surface with a horizontal brush method, sawing back and forth. For the inner and outer surfaces of teeth (i.e., tongue surface and cheek surface), when brushing teeth, the bristles of the toothbrush are gently placed at the junction of gums and teeth, and then the bristles are brushed from gums along the teeth by moving the wrist up and down like a comb, and repeated several times at the same position; When brushing your teeth, brush from bottom to top in the same way, so that food residue and dental plaque can be cleaned up between your teeth.

3. Use fluoride mouthwash once every three days. Mouthwash can go deep into the teeth that toothpaste can't reach, and remove plaque and plaque. Don't use it any more.

4. Brush your teeth after meals. If you can't do this, rinse your mouth with warm water after meals. You can't just rinse it and spit it out. Instead, rinse your mouth with 100 times, which will be effective. Rinse your mouth after eating snacks.

5. Well-known brands can be selected for fluoride toothpaste, such as Zhonghua, Colgate and Crest. It has a frozen texture. Pay attention to the fluorine content. The national standard stipulates that the total fluorine content should be greater than or equal to 0.04% and less than or equal to 0. 15% of the total weight of toothpaste. Soluble fluorine or free fluorine must be greater than or equal to 0.04%. Generally, you can use 0. 1 1%. For many severe dental plaque, 0. 14% to 0. 15% can be used. After brushing your teeth for one month, the dental plaque will obviously disappear, and after three months, the dental plaque will be invisible. Don't use whitening toothpaste, it will make teeth brittle!

6. Experience in using toothpaste: I used Zhonghua, double-sided needle, black and Colgate before, but now I only use Crest. There used to be some black cavities in the teeth, but after using Crest, they were completely gone. There is an article on the Internet that Crest's fluoxetine formula has a high absorption rate of fluorine. But this is only my personal experience, for your reference only.

7. Dental plaque, tiny tooth decay and shallow tooth decay can be completely cured with fluoride toothpaste without filling teeth!

Tips for preventing tooth wear:

I only use a toothbrush with very fine hair (filament hair), which has little damage to enamel.

Tips for preventing tooth loosening and gum health care;

1, every time you brush your teeth, massage your gums with your fingers, which can promote blood circulation of your gums and effectively prevent gum atrophy and tooth loosening. Fingers are soft and won't hurt gums at all. Methods: After gargling, put the clean index finger of the right hand on the gingival mucosa and massage the upper, lower, left and right inner and outer gums for several minutes from the root to the crown along the horizontal direction of the gums.

2, eat more fruits and vegetables, supplement VC, which is good for gum growth. Brush your teeth with warm water, and the gum atrophy will be much slower!

Of course, if you have eaten a hole, you must fill it as soon as possible! Otherwise, the food residue will produce acid in the tooth cavity, and the toothbrush will not move, which will further corrode your enamel and dentin and may also cause pulpitis. At present, the filler is a polymer resin material, which does not conduct cold and heat, and you can eat and drink whatever you want. After filling in, use fluoride toothpaste.

Many people report that fillings will fall out in a few years. This is because the teeth around the hole are demineralized seriously, the texture is fragile, and the fillings are easy to fall out.

The secret of keeping cavities filled;

1, fluoride toothpaste can significantly enhance the texture of demineralized parts, make them mineralized and hardened, and the filling materials are not easy to fall off.

2. Don't eat anything too hard.

Description of fluorine:

Fluorine toothpaste that meets the national standards will only be absorbed by teeth, not bones, as long as it is not swallowed. Decades of research in the international medical community has proved that local tooth fluorination is the most effective means to prevent dental caries and is very safe. Fluorine entering bones will lead to skeletal fluorosis. Therefore, fluoride toothpaste is very safe, so don't worry at all. Do not give it to children with poor swallowing function. In areas with high fluoride content, it can be used safely in other places. According to the survey data of the United States in the 1950s, every American has 15 dental caries on average. Later, fluoride toothpaste was widely promoted, and now it is almost gone. All people in Hong Kong use fluoride toothpaste, and dentists in Hong Kong have almost no cavities to fill.

About whitening teeth:

Just have healthy teeth and don't pursue excessive whitening. Most whitening products are chemicals that make teeth brittle. Healthy enamel is light yellow, but too white is harmful. White teeth in advertisements and movies are fake, which seriously misleads the public. Some stars use white teeth patches before making movies, which can keep them white for months. More stars are full of porcelain teeth.

I hope my little skill can help you. I have been plagued by tooth decay for decades, like a nightmare. I've been to the dentist countless times, and the doctor never told me what to do. I have attached great importance to dental protection since I was a child. I seldom eat snacks. I brush my teeth carefully every day and rinse my mouth after meals, but I still suffer from dental plaque and tooth decay. After 200 1 year, I gradually got rid of the suffering of dental caries through self-exploration. I deeply understand that doctors will only treat you and never teach you to prevent diseases.

The above is original by crocostone. A good tooth can prolong life 10 years and improve the quality of life. I sincerely hope that everyone in China will have no cavities, always smile and be happy for the country and the people.
