What are the hazards of orthodontics?
1, loose teeth
Orthodontics is a process of moving teeth. When a tooth is moved, the tissues around the tooth are constantly displaced and reconstructed. Therefore, it is easy to loosen during the correction process.
2. Root resorption
Adult orthodontics is more prone to root resorption. After the root is absorbed, the teeth will become shorter, which increases the chance of tooth loosening.
3. Alveolar bone injury
Because in orthodontics, moving teeth will drive periodontal tissue, alveolar bone may become lower, leading to gingival atrophy and so on. Although this is a pity, it is indeed inevitable.
4. Dental pulp diseases
Many people will have dead pulp teeth after orthodontics. This is the excessive pressure exerted on the teeth during orthodontics, which leads to the damage of the tooth nerve and the formation of pulp diseases.
What are the benefits of orthodontics
1, correct the occlusal relationship of teeth.
The irregular arrangement of teeth will lead to uneven bite force of teeth, which will lead to tooth wear and easily lead to tooth loosening and falling off. Orthodontics can make the teeth arrange neatly and the occlusal relationship reach normal, thus protecting the health of teeth.
2. Improve the face shape.
Facial abnormalities caused by irregular teeth can be improved by orthodontics, thus restoring beauty.
3. Improve other oral functions.
Tooth deformity will affect pronunciation and lip closure, which can be completely avoided after correction. It can also avoid oral mucosal dryness and improve oral anti-infection ability.
4. Conducive to the cleaning of periodontal tissue.
Irregular teeth are not easy to clean, and periodontal diseases such as tartar deposition, gingival swelling and hyperplasia are prone to occur. Orthodontics can promote the cleaning of teeth and prevent dental caries and periodontal disease.
5. Restore normal oral function.
After orthodontics, it can enhance chewing function and help digestion and nutrient absorption. Abnormal occlusion in adults or middle-aged and elderly people will affect tooth chewing and often cause digestive system diseases.
The best age for orthodontics
1, defoliation period
Early correction, the treatment age is about 3 ~ 6 years old, and it can be corrected by wearing oral appliance, and the course of treatment is about 6 months.
2. Mixed dentition
About 7 ~ 1 1 year, deciduous teeth fall off earlier, which leads to the reduction of dental arch length, which in turn leads to the inability to arrange teeth. Use removable or fixed appliances and even use external plastic force to correct dentition.
3. Adult permanent teeth period
The best age for orthodontics is generally around 12 ~ 18 years old. At this time, the diagnosis of tooth deformity is relatively clear, and the correction in this rapid growth period is also rapid and stable.
People who are not suitable for orthodontics
1, people with serious periodontal problems
People with severe periodontal problems are not suitable for orthodontics. Such as tooth loosening, active periodontitis and obvious alveolar bone absorption.
2. People with fragile and sensitive hearts
People who are too fragile and sensitive, and those who demand beauty beyond the scope of doctors' ability, can't do orthodontics.
