Can I correct only one tooth?
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to correct only a few or one teeth, and basically all teeth are corrected together.

In fact, it does not mean that the whole tooth can't be half-mouthed or single-mouthed, which requires orthodontists to judge and determine according to the actual situation of each person's teeth.

But in most cases, it is not suitable for half-mouth, single tooth and multiple teeth.

Why is this?

Why can't the whole tooth be half-mouth or single-mouth?

Doctors in Shenzhen Stomatological Hospital said that most patients can't perform half-mouth correction or single-mouth correction, which is mainly related to the way of orthodontics. Orthodontics is to move the teeth to a reasonable gap, and then move the teeth to a suitable position. Therefore, the whole mouth correction can ensure that the upper and lower teeth move together and the teeth bite normally.

However, if only the upper row of teeth or the lower row of teeth are moved, then one row of teeth is moved and the other row of teeth is not moved, then the occlusion is definitely uneven. Over time, the normal chewing function of teeth will be affected, new tooth deformities will appear, and even occlusal trauma will be formed, leading to serious consequences such as tooth loosening.

For example, the upper row of teeth is crowded and the lower row of teeth is normal. Before orthodontic treatment, it is necessary to remove the upper row of teeth, reduce the number of teeth and make them orderly arranged. The number of teeth in the upper row is reduced, which is inconsistent with the number of teeth in the lower row, and malocclusion will naturally occur.

Therefore, in general, it is safer to choose full mouth correction. In order to give consideration to the normal occlusion of upper and lower teeth, symmetrical tooth extraction is usually needed. Therefore, it is recommended to choose an orthodontist with rich clinical experience for orthodontics, and it is best to listen to the professional opinions of doctors.

If orthodontic treatment is carried out according to the patient's wishes, the results will easily rebound after orthodontic treatment, and secondary orthodontic treatment is often needed. Therefore, secondary orthodontics is very difficult, which requires more cost and time.

Everyone needs to spend tens of thousands of dollars for a year or two to toss about orthodontics. Why?

For teeth that could have been treated at one time, why choose a scheme with high risk and no guarantee of orthodontic results?

You can think about it.

Norman dental has always been priced according to the price standard, insisting on transparent charging. All expenses are clear at a glance, and patients only spend the money they should spend, so it is more detailed and clear to see a dentist.

First of all, every row of our teeth is next to each other, so that the movement of one tooth will affect the surrounding teeth, which is what we call "pulling one hair and moving the whole body."

In addition, our upper and lower teeth must bite together to play a normal occlusal function. If individual teeth or single row of teeth move, it will change the occlusal relationship between our upper and lower teeth. At this time, if only one jaw is corrected, there is no way to adjust the occlusal teeth, and finally occlusion will be very difficult and even affect the chewing function.

Not only that, correcting single row of teeth is also easy to cause occlusal trauma, leading to tooth loosening and falling off;

Occlusal imbalance may also cause facial stiffness, periodontal disease, temporomandibular joint disease and so on. If the tooth arrangement is unstable, it will easily lead to recurrence.

Of course, unless our original occlusal relationship is very good, we only need to move individual teeth slightly or prepare for our restoration, we will consider the correction of single jaw or individual teeth.

If it is really unacceptable to wear braces, individual teeth can be restored with porcelain crowns, that is, wearing a crown outside the original teeth, but the disadvantage is that the original teeth are generally worn off, which is not good for the original teeth, but it can greatly reduce the cost and time.
