Dental plastic surgery. Tooth separation Some teeth are separated at the same time when the tooth is extracted, while others are separated after the tooth is extracted. It usually takes about 1 week to use the tooth separation trap between the upper, lower, left and right big teeth. The purpose is to move the teeth out of the gap, so that when wearing braces, the steel ring that fixes the braces can be put in. Generally speaking, tooth separation will be a little sore and weak, and it will hurt a little when the upper and lower teeth meet together! 7. Generally, the upper braces can be directly fitted with 3M braces. A dental assistant or orthodontist will dry your teeth and "etch" them. Etching can treat the tooth surface in order to add adhesive material to fix the braces. Then tie the braces to the teeth. Then, high-intensity plasma light is rapidly emitted to the surface of the stent to complete the bonding. The archwire is attached to the braces (unless you are wearing a 3M self-locking bracket). All right! It takes 1 hour for each row of teeth, so it takes 2 hours if you want to wear a full set of braces. (Of course, self-locking braces or gluing preset braces will speed up this process. I just put on a little braces. It may hurt a little in the first week, but I'll get over it later. If you have oral ulcer, you can spray guilin watermelon frost before going to bed at night to supplement vitamin B and zinc. Chewed gum can be stuck on the grinding mouth. Dentists generally don't recommend chewing gum, for fear of sticking, try to think for yourself, hehe! 8. Follow-up visit is usually once a month. The doctor will discuss the exact time with you. Follow-up visits are generally to give you strength and make your teeth move quickly. So the first week of the follow-up visit may be a little sore, and it will be fine later. ) 9. Wear a rubber band Generally speaking, the arrangement of teeth will be different due to the speed of tooth movement and the technical factors of doctors. Generally 1 month will see some changes, and it will be basically sorted out in about 6 months. After being lined up, it is necessary to close the gap between teeth and need the help of rubber bands. Take off the rubber band when you eat. It is said that the effect of rubber bands is magical.
