Benefits: The biggest function of orthodontics is to change the position of teeth, make the teeth arranged neatly and evenly, and restore the posterior teeth to a good occlusion state. For patients with crowded dentition, irregular dentition and malocclusion, orthodontics is very good, which can restore the teeth to be neat and the occlusion to a good state. Compared with crowded and unsightly teeth, orthodontics has a better effect.
2, shortcomings: Orthodontics also has shortcomings, that is, it is prone to periodontal problems such as black triangle and gingival recession. For patients with slightly crowded dentition and poor periodontal condition, we should be careful when choosing orthodontics.
Mainly put some appliances on the teeth, apply force to the teeth through the appliances and apply it to each tooth, and then the teeth move, so that the abnormal teeth move to the normal position. Therefore, the process of orthodontics is that patients need to wear an appliance on their teeth, and then go to the orthodontist for a follow-up visit every cycle after wearing it, and then the doctor applies force to the teeth regularly according to the law of tooth movement. After the tooth is stressed, it will move in the direction that the orthodontist needs to move and the direction of stress, and finally adjust to the normal position of the tooth. This is the whole process of orthodontics.
Of course, the whole course of orthodontics is relatively long, which usually takes about two years, so it is a relatively long-term process, because teeth must move according to the laws of physiological development, and teeth cannot move too fast, which may cause some sequelae, such as loose teeth, tooth loss, root resorption and other adverse reactions.
