The day before yesterday, I put on something to correct my joints, and I also know its relatively standard name – the jaw plate, which is a translucent plastic block that covers all the upper teeth, and is in the shape of a horseshoe. Will not upload pictures yet, try it next time. I don’t know if it will help everyone in the correction, but I still decided to talk about some of the treatment of the jaw plate. The function of the jaw plate helps protect the teeth from some bad occlusal habits in life, such as clenching teeth, night grinding, etc., and more importantly, it can promote the repair of the mandibular joint process and help it in the joint socket. Stabilize in a more ideal, comfortable position.
Treatment Instructions
1. The jaw plate can help diagnose the disease. If there is permanent damage to the joints, or if you have the habit of clenching your teeth or grinding your teeth at night, some or all symptoms may not be relieved. If the damage is reversible and recoverable, the symptoms will gradually slow down. disappear.
2. If there is no change in the jaw occlusion for 3 consecutive months, it means that the joint position has been stabilized, the muscles and bones have been adapted and stabilized and are in a healthy position. At this time, a systematic evaluation will be conducted to determine the next treatment plan (for the purpose of A healthy bite, some teeth may sometimes be reshaped, while some must first undergo orthodontics or even jaw surgery).
3. Wear the jaw plate for a long time without interruption (24 hours), take it out and clean it after every meal, and put on the jaw plate immediately after brushing your teeth. Special attention should be paid to avoid contact between the upper and lower teeth after the jaw plate is removed.
4. Pronunciation is affected and takes a little getting used to.
5. Avoid too much force when chewing. When you first wear the jaw plate, you can choose relatively soft, small pieces of food that are easy to chew. After getting used to it, most of the food can be eaten easily. But be careful, don’t eat hard food and chewing gum.
6. Follow up on time
7. The service life of the jaw plate is about 6-9 months, and a few can be used for one year. For the treatment and stabilization of most joint problems, the time is enough, but some serious cases may take longer. recovery time, a second set of jaw plates is required (additional charges apply).
