Orthodontics is to arrange teeth neatly through external force, which is certainly not comfortable, but it will cost some money to be beautiful. Teeth that have just been corrected are easy to rebound, so it is necessary to wear a retainer for about one year, and it is also possible to apply anesthetic. Correction did hurt at first, but I could only drink porridge and eat egg cakes when I pulled out my teeth, and it still hurt the next day, but I could bear it. It will hurt for two or three days after each correction, and then it will be fine. When is orthodontics best?
It hurts during orthodontics. Generally, it hurts for about 2-3 days after you go to see a doctor for a follow-up visit, that is, after the doctor exerts force on your appliance. Generally tolerable, it is a feeling of pain. Very few people are particularly sensitive to pain and take painkillers, but they stop taking them once or twice. Therefore, the pain in the correction process is not a problem at all, and it is within the tolerable range. After correction, the most important thing to pay attention to is to keep it. You should insist on wearing a dentist's tailor-made retainer, so as to keep the correction effect to the end and give up all previous efforts.
Most malocclusions can be corrected at the early stage of permanent teeth. The average girl 1 1- 13 years old, and the boy 12- 15 years old. At this time, the permanent dentition is basically established, the craniomaxillofacial region still has certain potential, the metabolic function is good, and the tooth movement effect is the most remarkable, so this period is the "golden age" of orthodontic treatment.
For severe skeletal malocclusion, it is necessary to wait until it is fully mature (about 18-20 years old) before orthognathic surgery can achieve satisfactory results.
Modern orthodontics has adopted many methods to make orthodontic patients feel more comfortable. These methods include: making the lock groove smaller and smoother; To improve the orthodontic treatment of arch wire, so that it can produce sustained and gentle corrective force. Generally, there will be discomfort for 2-3 days after each visit and arch wire reinforcement. But you don't need to take any painkillers at all.
