Hello, in fact, generally speaking, orthodontics does not recommend only half-mouth correction. This is not because orthodontists don't want patients to achieve the ideal effect of correction and restoration as soon as possible, but because the purpose of correcting teeth is not only to arrange teeth neatly, but also to adjust the abnormal relationship between upper and lower teeth and between teeth and jaws according to our facial characteristics, so as to make teeth more beautiful and healthy on the basis of maintaining the chewing function of teeth themselves.

However, if only half-mouth orthodontics is done, it will easily lead to the problem that the upper and lower teeth cannot be aligned, which will not only lead to orthodontic failure, but also induce the following series of problems:

First, the chewing function of teeth is affected.

After half-mouth correction, one side of the patient's teeth will move because of the correction force, while the other side of the teeth will not move, which will cause abnormal occlusion of the upper and lower teeth, thus affecting the chewing function of the teeth.

Second, the teeth become loose or even fall off.

Abnormal occlusion of upper and lower teeth is likely to cause occlusal trauma, which will lead to loosening or even falling off of teeth.

Third, it causes oral problems such as periodontal disease.

The occlusal problem of the upper and lower jaws of teeth increases the difficulty of tooth cleaning, and then it is easy to induce some oral problems such as periodontal disease.

Fourth, the orthodontic treatment is incomplete and easy to relapse.

The failure to establish a normal occlusion relationship between teeth will make the tooth arrangement unstable, which will have an impact on the correction effect, and the deformity problem will easily recur.

The above is the general harm that patients will cause if they insist on half-mouth correction. I suggest you pay more attention. But not all orthodontics can't be half-corrected. Generally speaking, the requirements for the condition of tooth deformity in half-mouth correction are strict. Usually, when the occlusion is normal and the single row of teeth are arranged neatly, you can choose half-mouth correction. In this regard, it is suggested that patients should go to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible once they find that they have tooth deformity problems, so that doctors can choose the appropriate correction plan according to their actual situation. We can't just rely on subjective speculation and go our own way to prevent more serious problems.
