Orthodontics can make teeth neat and beautiful, so what harm and sequelae does orthodontics have? Orthodontics is good, but it is not perfect. Because the process of orthodontics has certain damage to the root and periodontal tissue, before orthodontics, everyone must have a certain understanding of the harm and sequelae of orthodontics.

Harm of orthodontics

1, slurred speech

After wearing braces, many friends will not adapt. After a while, they will have toothache and can't speak clearly.

This is because such a steel foreign body suddenly appears in the mouth, dental appliances will press the teeth and surrounding soft tissues, and the movable tongue will sweep the steel wire and steel teeth when speaking, so this is also a place that needs patience.

2, tooth extraction

Most orthodontists need to pull out 2 -4 teeth to make room for tooth movement. Of course, the extracted teeth are not very important teeth, such as molars and fangs. The fourth or fifth small tooth from the middle is usually pulled out.

However, these teeth can still bite food in the mouth to a certain extent, and it is unacceptable to pull out healthy teeth.

3. Soft tissue contusion

Because braces are mostly made of stainless steel, even if ceramic braces are used, steel wires are still tied on the surface. These hard substances such as steel wires and teeth can hurt our tongue, gums and lips.

After wearing orthodontics, the running-in process is more painful. Bleeding, soreness, scratches and ulcers are commonplace, which is also one of the hazards of orthodontics. Everyone should be mentally prepared.

4. Face changes

Although orthodontics not only corrects the shape of teeth, but also pays attention to the change of face shape, many friends will find that the face shape is not as good as before after orthodontics.

At this time, sometimes our teeth are irregular or a little uneven, but after the teeth hold up our faces, we feel more harmonious. Only when we open our mouths and laugh will people think that our teeth are a little messy. But once the orthodontics is done and the teeth are pulled out straight, the face feels a little depressed or elongated. The harm of orthodontics is often unacceptable to many girls who love beauty.

5, affect eating

For some friends who pay attention to the quality of life, orthodontics may have to think twice, because after putting on orthodontics, you have to consider what to eat.

Experts pointed out that because braces occupy a part of the mouth, it is not only particularly inconvenient to eat, but also easy to get stuck by food. No one wants to pick their teeth unscrupulously in front of many people at the dinner table. Therefore, in the process of orthodontic treatment, we must eat small pieces of food and don't chew bones to avoid damaging braces. Some vegetables are fibrous and easily entangled in braces. It is up to everyone to decide whether to eat them or not.

6. Not beautiful

At present, many dental appliances are still stainless steel braces, even if ceramic braces are used, they are not beautiful there. In addition, with braces, the mouth will inevitably protrude here, which is also a kind of injury to the appearance.

7. periodontal disease

If you wear braces but don't pay attention to brushing your teeth, then dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis and so on will get you into trouble. Because of the existence of braces, it is not so convenient to brush your teeth. If you are lazy, braces will accelerate the process of tooth decay.

Orthodontic sequelae

1, loose teeth

In the harm of orthodontics, tooth loosening is common. Because the process of orthodontics is a process of moving teeth, the tissues around the teeth are constantly displaced and reconstructed when moving teeth, so tooth loosening is easy to occur in orthodontics.

In the process of orthodontics, people often worry about whether loose teeth will affect their health in the future. In fact, this kind of worry is unnecessary.

After orthodontics, the teeth will settle down in a new place, and the surrounding tissues will gradually stabilize, thus preventing the teeth from loosening. If we can do a good job of knocking teeth after orthodontics and help the teeth and surrounding tissues adapt and rebuild as soon as possible, then the teeth will not loosen.

2. Root resorption

One of the sequelae of orthodontics is root resorption, which is more likely to occur in adult orthodontics. After root resorption, the teeth will become shorter, thus increasing the probability of tooth loosening.

3. Alveolar bone injury

It is also because moving teeth during orthodontics will lead to periodontal tissue, alveolar bone may become lower, leading to gingival atrophy. This is very regrettable, but it is also inevitable.

4. Dental pulp diseases

Many people will have dead pulp teeth after orthodontics, which means that excessive pressure is exerted on the teeth during orthodontics, resulting in tooth nerve damage. Many dentists will not explain these situations clearly to patients during orthodontic consultation, but after problems occur, they can only solve them by pulling out the root canal of tooth nerve.

It is best to do orthodontics in time. If you do orthodontics in the golden age of orthodontics: 10- 14, pay attention to brushing your teeth and cleaning your teeth, you can avoid the harm and sequelae of orthodontics to a great extent.
