First, the preparation before calibration:
The preparation stage is very important, because at this stage, you need to judge and choose. First, you need to judge whether your teeth need to be corrected. You should judge for yourself, not go to the clinic and ask if you want to do it. If you go to the clinic and ask if you want to do it, you will generally say that you want to do it for performance. The purpose of orthodontics is nothing more than two points, aesthetics or occlusal function. Pay special attention to aesthetics. Orthodontics is not everything. It can solve the problems of occlusion, malocclusion, teeth bucking (teeth eruption), jaw opening, uneven teeth and tiger teeth. Orthodontics can really improve the face shape, but it is also limited. Some chins are underdeveloped, some bones are prominent, and some faces are short and long.
Before deciding on correction, it is best to ask the doctor what materials to use, how much * * *, how much follow-up, how long follow-up, how long the total correction time is, and how much the materials stick to the teeth. If it's not what you think, the more detailed the question, the better. If the answer is vague, you should think twice. If you are impatient, think twice. All the materials can be bought online.
In the past, teeth were corroded by acid when orthodontic brackets were fixed. White spots appeared on the tooth surface after "acid etching". The tooth surface is hard enamel, which is very smooth. After acid etching, the surface becomes a matte effect, which damages the tooth surface. Now, an acid-resistant adhesive has been produced, and many people still don't know it. We will continue to use those products that have been eliminated.
The most important thing before correction is tooth extraction. Don't decide to have your teeth pulled out at once. You should consult in detail and make a decision after you have a thorough understanding. Pulling out the wrong tooth is irreversible, and the imagination of pulling out the wrong tooth sometimes happens in some unprofessional places.
The second is how to cooperate with the correction:
Attention in orthodontics should be calm. Ask the doctor more if you have any questions, keep communication and make a follow-up visit in time. Doctors are human beings, and doctors are also growing people. Experience is brought out by experienced doctors. You must have experience when you are old, or you will have no experience when you are young. Orthodontics can be said to be fine handwork. The young doctor passed by, without presbyopia and shaking hands. He was very modest. Generally speaking, I just lack experience in making plans. If I could "consult", I wouldn't have to worry about this. The "consultation" in the medical industry means that many doctors discuss a case at the same time to ensure the correct diagnosis.
I don't think I need to say much about other precautions in correction, such as brushing your teeth, pain, whether you can bite something and so on. It's easy to ask the doctor. Everyone has different feelings. If you need to know anything, just ask the doctor directly. Now the information is so convenient, such as WeChat, qq, mobile phone and so on. , and you can consult at any time.
Third, how to maintain after correction:
Retainers are very important after orthodontic treatment. You work hard to make your teeth neat, but you don't work hard in the later period, which leads to a rebound, all previous efforts are wasted, and even doubts about correction. The retainer must be worn for 2 years. If it is lost or damaged halfway, it should be redone as soon as possible. You don't have to go back to your original dentistry, anything can be done. Think about it. After orthodontics, teeth move from one position to a new one. The alveolar bone in the previous position has not yet grown out, and it is all soft tissue. Retainer is to keep the teeth still, let the alveolar bone grow and fix the teeth. It takes two years to completely remove the retainer.
