Can I have my teeth repaired?

Four steps in orthodontics

See a doctor for the first time

Go to orthodontics first. According to the patient's wishes and deformity, the doctor initially estimated the general treatment plan, and informed the orthodontist of the treatment method, time, cost and precautions. If the orthodontist has the intention to correct, the doctor will arrange for the patient to take photos, take X-rays and print dental casts. Doctors measure and analyze these photos, X-rays and dental models, and then decide the treatment plan according to the analysis results of these materials.

prepare

Doctors communicate with orthodontists (or parents) about the detailed treatment plan, seek the consent of orthodontists (or parents), and sign an "informed consent form". Many orthodontists need to extract teeth before wearing orthodontic appliances, and some need to fill and wash their teeth.

Correct and cure

Comparison of Orthodontic Methods The fixed appliance of movable appliance can be taken out and put on the teeth by the patient himself, but it cannot be taken off by himself. Widely used in simple orthodontics, but also can be used in complex orthodontics. At present, the commonly used orthodontic methods are divided into active orthodontics and fixed orthodontics.

Some serious skeletal deformities may need surgical correction, which must be done by doctors in oral and maxillofacial surgery and orthodontics.

keep

When the dentition deformity is corrected and the doctor thinks it meets the requirements from a professional point of view, the original appliance will be taken out, and then the patient needs to wear a retainer to prevent tooth displacement. It usually takes more than a year to maintain, about once every three months.

The adaptation period varies from person to person.

No matter what kind of treatment, painless should be the basic principle. Huang said, but there are also some unaccustomed and uncomfortable feelings. Some people adapt quickly, while others need a relatively long time to adapt.

Because everyone's deformity is different, the treatment method is different, and the time and cost required are different. Generally speaking, fixed orthodontics takes more than one year to adjust and move, during which it will be followed up once a month.

The cost is different, and it should be distinguished according to the base area.
