Why do I need to cut my teeth?

Will "tooth slicing" hurt my teeth?

1. What is slicing?

Lambectomy is also called "proximal deglazing" or "tooth diameter reduction", which refers to a clinical operation of grinding, reducing the diameter and reshaping the adjacent teeth (enamel). To put it simply, the adjacent area between two teeth is ground away a little, so that the teeth become smaller and the gap is created.

2. The purpose of slicing.

The main purpose of sectioning is to make room for the teeth to move. Secondly, it can also adjust the shape and size of the teeth and improve the "black triangle".

3. Under what circumstances should segmentation be performed?

1: Solve mild to moderate crowding.

The first is to cooperate with orthodontics. For mild to moderate crowding, if you do not want to extract the tooth, you can obtain a moving space through appropriate incision to relieve the crowding. Compared with tooth extraction, the recovery period can be shortened, but the degree of improvement is limited.

2: Improve the black triangle.

The black triangle can be said to be a problem that troubles many handsome guys and beauties. This can also be solved by cutting. By grinding away the enamel near the black triangle, you can turn the awkward black triangle into a flush gap. However, the gap between the teeth is relatively large after the slice is cut, and orthodontics will be needed to close the gap.

3: Improve tooth shape.

Large incision can also be used to “facelift” the teeth. Such as adjusting the size of teeth. If the size of the teeth is not coordinated, it may affect chewing and appearance. The larger teeth can be ground smaller.

Adjust the midline of the dentition. Some slight midline deviations caused by dental crowding can be adjusted through slice incision and orthodontics.

4. Can anyone do slice incision?

Of course slice incision is not suitable for everyone! It is not recommended for those with small teeth, prone to sensitivity, and prone to tooth decay. . After all, it may cause other damage, such as loosening of tooth roots, making teeth more sensitive, etc.

5. Does the excision hurt?

Thinking of those "horrible" dental "torture tools" in the hospital, are the little cuties a little afraid of having an excision? But don't worry, Theoretically speaking, there is almost no pain during incision! It only wears away the outer layer of enamel of the tooth. This layer has no nerve distribution and does not even require anesthesia!

6. Incision Will it hurt the teeth?

Don’t worry too much that sliced ??incisors will hurt our long-lasting teeth! Studies have shown that there is not much difference in the caries rate between sliced ??incisors and unstriped incisors. Our teeth will also undergo a certain amount of physiological wear and tear, and sectioning actually reproduces this natural physiological process.
