1, how to calculate the orthodontic expenses?
Difficulties in orthodontics: complex tooth arrangement and serious deformity. The more difficult orthodontics is, the higher the cost is.
Orthodontic methods: Common orthodontic methods include metal brackets, ceramic brackets and invisible bracket-free orthodontics. Different orthodontic prices are different.
Choose a dental clinic and a doctor: You should choose the right orthodontic clinic. The better the skills of doctors in regular clinics, the higher the relative fees will be than those in small clinics. The consumption level varies from place to place, so the price of orthodontics is also different.

That is, the common "Kouga" is to bond the teeth with metal brackets, fix the teeth with steel wires, and exert gentle and lasting biological force to make the teeth move slowly and arrange neatly.
The metal self-locking bracket is an improved version, which eliminates the constraint of ligating steel wire or rubber band on orthodontic steel wire, reduces the friction resistance between steel wire and bracket, reduces the stress on teeth, accelerates tooth movement and effectively shortens the whole treatment time.
Lingual appliance
This kind of braces, which is not easy to see on the outside, not only achieves the purpose of correction, but also solves the problem of Kouga's exposure.
Invisible instrument
The transparent appliance made of polymer material is invisible and can be taken off and worn by itself, with high aesthetics. No metal stimulation, avoiding oral wear.
3. Frequently asked questions about orthodontics
Can adults correct their teeth?
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. As long as the periodontal condition is good, orthodontics can still be performed. The teeth of the elderly are more complicated and often more difficult to correct.
Does orthodontics affect the life of teeth?
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. This process is gradual and the teeth are stable. Regular orthodontic treatment will not affect tooth life.
What should we pay attention to in correction?
Protect the appliance from damage and avoid biting hard, sticky and sweet food, because hard food will damage the appliance and deform the steel wire, and sweet food will corrode the teeth.
Pay attention to maintain good oral hygiene and develop good brushing habits. If you don't brush your teeth carefully, you will easily have other dental problems.
Many steps in the orthodontic process need good coordination. If you can't follow the doctor's advice and cooperate badly, it will not only delay the orthodontic time, but also fail to meet expectations. Regular follow-up, each orthodontist will adjust according to the tooth movement of the demander.
