1. Which is better, ceramic braces or metal braces?
Having neat white teeth can improve your image. Since the summer vacation, there have been no fewer patients in the stomatological hospital. Most of them are students, but there are many adults. When it comes to orthodontics, people often think of Kouga with iron teeth.
This kind of "braces" is called metal bracket fixing appliance, which is made of steel wire and has relatively low cost. The cost of correction for teenagers is about seven or eight thousand yuan, and that for adults is about 654.38+0 million yuan. It is widely used, but it has little effect on appearance. Which is better, ceramic braces or metal braces?
Ceramic bracket fixing appliance is beautiful, and the bracket is close to the color of teeth, which is loved by many adult patients, especially female patients. The cost of correction is about 2000 yuan more than that of metal bracket appliance, about 14500 yuan. So ceramic braces are better.
Second, the benefits of braces:
Prepare for filling teeth. People who have missing teeth but are unwilling or not suitable for dental implants can also close the gap of missing teeth through orthodontics to achieve beautiful results. People with loose teeth and gaps can concentrate the gaps in their teeth through orthodontics and insert teeth in the parts where the gaps are formed, which can also achieve the purpose of aesthetics.
Third, the disadvantages of wearing braces:
In the process of correction: pain; It's inconvenient to eat, and sometimes you wear your mouth out. In addition, if you don't brush your teeth at any time, food will stick to the metal sheet. Wearing metal sheets doesn't look good.
After correction, the teeth will be a little loose, so we should pay attention to eating less hard and sticky things to avoid damaging the effect.
It may be inconvenient to eat after wearing braces. You can slice the whole food and eat it. It is best not to eat too hard food, so it is easy to skew the wire on the braces and cut your lips. Correcting teeth with braces will cause some pain, but it can be tolerated, and you will get used to it after a week.
Four. Introduction to wearing braces:
Ordinary metal braces: It is the most commonly used appliance at present, with the longest development history, but its appearance is not very good. It is characterized by the low cost of braces and is the most commonly used braces. Ceramic braces: They are made entirely of ceramics and look like natural teeth. It is not easy to be seen, and the cost is higher than that of metal braces. More suitable for adults.
Lingual braces: worn behind the tongue and on the side of the teeth, invisible from the outside of the mouth, can meet the needs of good-looking. Because it sticks to the inside of the teeth, it looks as if it is not wearing an appliance. Which is better, ceramic braces or metal braces?
The purpose of wearing braces is to correct the teeth well, arrange them more neatly, and also help to repair the teeth. It's hard to wear braces for the first two days, but it will get better gradually. When wearing braces, you must pay attention to prevent injury. When wearing braces, be careful not to eat anything too hard, otherwise the steel wire inside the braces will easily pop up and cut your mouth. In addition, you must pay attention to lying on your side when sleeping at night, because it is not easy to press your mouth, and the wire is very thin, which is easy to cut your mouth.
Five, common types of braces:
1, metal support
The traditional appliance is to stick a small iron piece called a bracket to the tooth, tie the orthodontic arch wire to make the tooth move, so as to achieve the purpose of correction. Brackets need to be fixed with thin steel wire (or rubber band) and correction steel wire, which is not only cumbersome, but also requires adjusting the strength of arch wire every month and re-ligating as needed, which brings discomfort to patients for one or two years. Which is better, ceramic braces or metal braces?
2. Invisible correction without brackets
Because there are many brackets and small iron pieces on the teeth, it gives people the feeling of "iron mouth Kouga". Therefore, many patients, especially adults, are afraid of "correction". Therefore, the bracket-free invisible correction technology and apparatus came into being. Bracket-free invisible orthodontics is a series of almost imperceptible transparent dentures tailored by brand-new 3D computer technology. Dentures are made of safe elastic transparent polymer materials, the thickness of which is less than 1mm, which are completely invisible and can be completed without anyone noticing.
3. Lingual appliance
Lingual invisible orthodontics is a kind of orthodontics technology that has arisen internationally in recent years. It installs all appliances on the lingual side of teeth for orthodontic treatment. Compared with the traditional appliance placed on the side of teeth, it cleverly hides the appliance and does not see any orthodontic treatment device in appearance.
Matters needing attention in orthodontics of intransitive verbs:
1. You can rinse your mouth with water or tea after meals. There are also a large number of microorganisms in human mouth. Therefore, the most ideal way of dental care is to brush your teeth after every meal. Therefore, there are many abnormal pathogens in the mouth. If the teeth are not brushed properly, food remains between the teeth, and bacteria will multiply, leading to tooth decay or periodontitis, crushing the whole course of treatment. If it is inconvenient to brush your teeth after meals, you can rinse your mouth with water or tea.
2. Keep the oral cavity clean: Because the oral appliance is bonded to the teeth by adhesive, and the teeth are forced to achieve ideal tooth movement by the process correction device. When using the orthodontic toothbrush, you should move it gently and slowly for 3-5 minutes at a time. In other words, orthodontists must have a well-connected oral cleaning.
3, do not eat bones, hard shell foods: In the era of orthodontic treatment, in addition to following the doctor's advice, we must also take care of the braces on our teeth. It is also necessary to prevent eating large pieces of food, such as cutting apples into small pieces, to prevent the attachment of the appliance from loosening due to improper diet, so that the whole correction process can be successfully completed. First of all, we should avoid eating hard food, such as bone food, crabs, nuts and so on.
4. Eat less snacks and reduce the number of snacks and sweets, especially chewing gum. If it is adolescent orthodontics, parents should especially urge their children to follow the doctor's instructions, such as going to the hospital for examination on time, changing steel wires and wearing rubber bands. Because chewing gum sticks to the appliance, it is difficult to cut the root. Otherwise, the correction process will be delayed, and at the same time, the expected correction result will not be achieved.
5. Don't eat sticky food, tools for biting or biting can't be eaten, meat must be cut with a knife or torn into small pieces by hand or shelled before eating, and you can't bite or bite directly with your teeth: you can't eat sticky food.
