Generally speaking, if a patient pulls out a tooth for orthodontics, a dental appliance will be installed after the tooth is pulled out. This time interval is usually about one to two weeks after tooth extraction, so that the wound can heal. During this period, patients need to pay attention to oral hygiene to avoid infection and inflammation.
If the patient has a big tooth extraction wound, or has some diseases or takes some drugs, it may affect the healing of the wound. In this case, it is suggested that the patient wait for a longer time after tooth extraction, and then perform orthodontics after the wound is completely healed. The specific time needs to be determined according to the doctor's advice.
It should be noted that orthodontics should be carried out even after tooth extraction, and oral hygiene and regular follow-up visits should be paid attention to. At the same time, during the correction period, patients need to avoid eating hard, sticky and sweet food to avoid damaging the appliance and its accessories.
In short, how long it takes to do orthodontics after tooth extraction needs to be decided according to the specific situation of the patient. It is suggested that patients wait for a period of time after tooth extraction, and then perform orthodontics after the wound heals stably. At the same time, we should also pay attention to oral hygiene and follow up regularly to ensure the correction effect and oral health.
