Is it necessary to do orthodontics for convex surgery?
Here, I want to tell you a misunderstanding. Orthodontics is not necessary after convex surgery! As for why? If you are interested, you can see what I will talk about next.

First of all, what is convex surgery? There are two kinds of protruding mouths: toothed and bony. Exposed teeth can be corrected by braces, and exposed teeth are the protrusion of gingival bone, which needs to be corrected by "protruding mouth" surgery.

The protruding operation is mainly to cut off both sides of the tooth (usually the fourth tooth in the middle and back), and then fix the gum bone to make the original protruding gum bone return to the correct position.

This kind of operation involves the problem of teeth, so it needs two professional doctors, dentistry and plastic surgery, to perform the operation at the same time. You need to wear a bite plate after the operation.

This kind of bite plate is similar to braces and needs to be worn for one month, but it is essentially different from braces: one is to help the recovery of protruding mouth surgery, and the other is to correct teeth. Therefore, the bite plate is not equivalent to braces.

Distinguish this problem clearly, and basically your above concerns will be solved. The occlusal plate was taken out one month after operation, and the surgical wound basically healed. At this time, if you recover well, there is no need to bring dental appliances.

What should I do if I take out the occlusal plate one month after operation and find that some teeth are still protruding? Just bring a dental appliance at this time. But at this time, it is the tooth problem that is corrected, not the gum bone problem.

Well, I hope my answer can help you ~
