1. What is the function of orthodontics?

Orthodontics is not only for improving the face value, but more importantly for health. Uneven teeth can lead to difficulty in cleaning between teeth, and periodontitis is more likely to occur. Moreover, malocclusion will affect chewing function and facial development, and these problems can be solved by orthodontic methods.

In addition, orthodontics is one of the treatments for temporomandibular disorders and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

What is the need for orthodontics?

1, crowded dislocation;

2. Teeth know too much;

3, running teeth;

4. The adjacent teeth are inclined and the occlusal teeth are elongated;

5, open bite;

6. The land is covered.

Second, answer questions about orthodontics.

1. Is there an age limit for orthodontics?

Most malocclusions, such as crowded dentition and interdental joints, can be corrected at any age in theory. The best correction period is11-kloc-0/4 for girls and 12- 15 for boys. The correction time of adults will be longer than that of children, depending on the periodontal condition.

2. Can orthodontics thin face or change face?

This effect cannot be exaggerated. Orthodontics can change the face shape to a certain extent and scope, such as improving the protrusion of the mouth and the retraction of the jaw, but the overall external contour of the face is determined by the bone phase of the jaw, which can not be changed simply by orthodontics.

3. Does orthodontics cause pain?

Generally, when the appliance is just put on, and within 3-6 days after follow-up, the teeth will feel a little painful and unable to chew. In the meantime, it is recommended to eat softer food. After this time, the pain will gradually ease until it disappears.

4. Will the teeth become loose after treatment?

During orthodontic treatment, the teeth will move under pressure, and the teeth will loosen slightly during this process. However, after orthodontic treatment, the alveolar bone around the teeth will be reconstructed and the teeth will become as stable as before, so there is no need to worry that the teeth will loosen and fall off easily after orthodontic treatment.
