Steps of orthodontics: a preliminary diagnosis of orthodontics
Go to orthodontics first. Parents and patients are required to be present. Check whether children need orthodontic treatment, point out the existing problems, preliminarily estimate the general plan of treatment, and inform orthodontic patients of the general treatment method, time, cost and matters needing attention. If there is an intention to correct, the doctor will arrange for the patient to take photos, take X-rays and print dental casts. Doctors measure, analyze and design these photos, X-rays and dental models, and then decide the treatment plan according to the analysis results of these materials.
The first follow-up visit of orthodontic steps: Parents and patients are required to be present to discuss the existing problems and treatment plans in detail. Including: whether orthodontic treatment can be carried out; Need to pull out teeth, pull out those teeth; What materials are used; Efficacy, course of treatment and cost.
The second follow-up visit of orthodontic steps: tooth separation (children who need tooth extraction should extract teeth first and recover for a period of time before tooth separation).
The third visit of orthodontic steps: installing appliances.
At present, the commonly used correction method is fixed correction, that is, wearing an appliance. Orthopedics are generally metal, that is, full of mouth? Kouga with iron teeth? . Some serious skeletal deformities may need surgical correction, which must be done by doctors in oral and maxillofacial surgery and orthodontics. Fixed orthodontics takes about one year to adjust and move, during which it will be followed up once a month.
Orthodontic step maintenance
When the dentition deformity is corrected, the doctor will take out the original appliance when he thinks it meets the requirements from a professional point of view, and then the patient needs to wear the retainer to prevent the rebound and recurrence and consolidate the orthodontic results. Generally, the retainer needs to be worn for about one year, during which it is visited once every three months. Because everyone's deformity is different, the treatment method is different, and the time and cost required are different. Correction is a complicated process, which takes a long time and needs the understanding and cooperation of orthodontists to ensure the ideal effect. Therefore, patience is necessary, and you must consult a doctor who has undergone orthodontic training. Don't accept unprofessional treatment for convenience.

However, it should be noted that it is best not to eat irritating foods, such as foods that are too sour, too hot, too cold and too spicy.
Dental appliances are always worn in orthodontic treatment.
