Many patients or their families don't know that tooth extraction is often needed in orthodontics, and they are worried that tooth extraction will affect their chewing during orthodontics, so that they give up orthodontics because they don't want to extract teeth. This kind of worry is unnecessary. Correcting tooth extraction is a necessary step to correct some dental deformities. Orthodontic treatment rearranges teeth through corrective force, but in the process of rearrangement, it often needs a certain gap to arrange crowded and disorderly teeth, or to improve the face shape of some incisors with adducted teeth. And where does the gap come from? Extraction of teeth can provide a usable gap. Judging from the orthodontic history of 100 years at home and abroad, tooth extraction treatment has no obvious harm compared with non-tooth extraction treatment.
2. After orthodontic treatment, old teeth are easy to fall off.
Some parents worry that orthodontics will lead to loose teeth and even premature tooth loss. This view is unscientific. Orthodontics is a slow biological remodeling process, which is induced by slight orthodontic force. It is absorbed by one side of the moving tooth, and the bone on the other side is regenerated and reconstructed, and finally the tooth moves to the normal position. The process is gradual and the teeth are stable. Regular orthodontic treatment will not cause trauma to teeth and periodontal tissue.
3. The shorter the orthodontic time, the better.
Tooth movement is limited, generally moving 1.5 mm per month. Moving too fast will lead to loose teeth. According to the severity of each individual's tooth irregularity, the course of treatment is different, generally around 1.5-2.5 years, and the course of treatment of some extremely serious cases is normal for 3-7 years. In order to shorten the time, some doctors or patients do not follow the scientific laws and exert excessive orthodontic force. It will lead to more severe pain and loose teeth, and in severe cases, it will lead to orthodontic tooth loss.
4: 12 years old, teeth can be corrected after changing teeth.
Traditionally, orthodontics can only be done when you are 12 years old. This concept is one-sided and even harmful. Dentofacial deformity is actually a developmental deformity, which is best prevented and corrected in the process of growth and development. The normal development of facial bones and oral function is affected by "natural" teeth, small chin, asymmetry between the left and right sides of the face, severe buckteeth and irregular crowded teeth, abnormal facial muscle function such as breathing with your mouth open during sleep, and various bad oral habits such as biting your lower lip and unilateral chewing. The sooner you correct it, the better. As the saying goes, "everyone is different, deformed, and the best period is different."
Orthodontics is a patent for children and young people.
Many people think that orthodontics is only for children and young people, and middle-aged and elderly people can't do orthodontics. In fact, this view is wrong
Although the growth and development of adults have stopped and the external morphology of bones has stabilized, the ability of regeneration and reconstruction inside bones still exists (such as healing after fracture). Generally speaking, if adults do not have severe periodontitis, their teeth can be corrected. For 60-year-old adults and 12-year-old children, there is not much difference in the influence of orthodontic force on healthy tooth movement. Adult orthodontists in Europe and America account for more than 1/3 of orthodontic patients. The largest number of orthodontic patients in Shenyang Aichi Stomatological Hospital is 865,438+0 years old, with more patients aged 50-60 years old. What needs to be emphasized here is that the older you get, the more difficult it may be to correct it; Adult maxillofacial deformities can only be solved by surgery, and simple orthodontics can only solve their dental problems.
6. Orthodontics is very painful and you can't eat normally.
After each orthodontic treatment, patients will feel a little sore for two or three days. These slight discomforts can be tolerated by most people and will soon disappear. It's a normal reaction of the body caused by orthodontics, so don't worry. As for diet, you can't eat hard things and sticky things such as bones during correction, but you can basically eat others, and you can eat normally after correction. 7. Imported household appliances are better than domestic ones.
Imported appliances are superior to domestic appliances in manufacturing technology, but they are all designed according to the size of foreigners' teeth. If they are mechanically applied to orthodontics in China, the clinical results may be disastrous. Therefore, patients or parents can ask orthodontists whether they have taken corresponding measures to make up for the above defects when using imported appliances. The choice of appliance is important, but the doctor's diagnosis and treatment level is the key to determine the quality of correction.
8: Orthodontics is very simple. It's the same wherever you go.
Orthodontics is a very complicated treatment process. General dentists can only be competent if they have been trained by special orthodontic institutions for at least 1 year and obtained the qualification of orthodontist. Every step is very important for the examination and diagnosis of orthodontic patients, the formulation of reasonable orthodontic scheme and even the whole orthodontic process. We often encounter some cases of correction failure, such as pulling out the wrong tooth or delaying the treatment opportunity, and these losses are irreparable. Therefore, Shenyang Aizhi Stomatological Hospital advises patients to choose carefully and try to choose qualified orthodontists from regular medical institutions to complete orthodontics.
