Matters needing attention in orthodontics
1. If you want to go to a regular hospital for formal treatment, don't trust any dental clinic. Although expensive, the effect is good and can be guaranteed. ? When you are doing orthodontics, if the doctor says that the gap between your teeth is too small, you should grind your teeth smaller and correct them. You must never grind your teeth, because there is a protective film on the outside of them. When you grind your teeth smaller, you will wear away the protective film. No matter how you protect it in the future, you will easily get dental caries, especially when you are doing orthodontics. It is the front teeth, unlike the back molars. Once the front teeth have dental caries, they can't be seen.
The best time for orthodontics
1. deciduous period
Primary teeth stage (4-5 years old): This stage is mainly suitable for malocclusion of primary teeth. Early correction is beneficial to maxillary development and prevents malocclusion of permanent teeth. If the child has bad habits such as sticking out his tongue and biting his lips, it can be corrected at this stage to prevent malocclusion.
2. Tooth replacement stage
Tooth-changing stage (girls: 8- 10 years old, boys: 9- 12 years old): In the tooth-changing stage, if children are found to have bad habits such as biting their lips, sticking out their tongues, and protruding their jaws, as well as abnormal facial and tooth arrangement, they should go to the hospital for examination in time to determine whether they are dental, functional or skeletal malocclusion.
3. Permanent tooth stage
Permanent tooth stage (female: 1 1- 14 years old, male: 13- 15 years old): At this time, the child's teeth have been replaced and the bones are basically shaped, and common malocclusions can be well treated at this stage.
