Does orthodontic have side effect?
Everything has two sides, especially in the field of medicine, treatment may have some side effects, such as drug side effects, surgery will leave scars and so on.
In contrast, the side effects of orthodontic treatment are mild and the therapeutic effect is predominant.
The side effects of orthodontic treatment are mainly manifested in the following aspects: (1) the impact on the pulp: in the initial stage of orthodontic treatment, the pulp produces a mild temporary inflammatory reaction, which is manifested by the patient’s pain or discomfort in the first few days of the force.
But this kind of mild pulpitis is not enough to cause the water long-term damage of dental pulp, does not affect the vitality of dental pulp.
(2) Effects on tooth root: During tooth movement, resorption and proliferation of tooth root surface also occur.
After orthodontic treatment stopped, the root returned to normal with its own ability to repair.
A small loss of root structure does not affect tooth function.
(3) Influence on the height of alveolar ridge: It is not easy to clean the oral hygiene of patients who wear the same fixed appliance, which increases the chance of gingivitis. Gingival inflammation will have a certain influence on the height of the alveolar ridge.
After orthodontic treatment, if oral hygiene is good, the alveolar ridge will gradually return to normal.
(4) Increased tooth loosening: During orthodontic treatment, there is a slight increase in tooth loosening, which is a normal reaction.
For teeth to move, they need more than just bone reconstruction.
Moreover, the periodontal membrane itself needs to be rebuilt.
After the tooth stops moving, the tooth can repair itself and return to normal tooth movement without permanent damage.
(5) Pain: Because the nerve in the periodontal membrane is very sensitive to external pressure, so orthodontic force often causes pain or discomfort of the patient.
Afterloading will last for 2 to 3 days at the beginning, and it will gradually reduce until it disappears. Parents do not need to worry too much.
The course of orthodontic treatment is generally 1 ~ 2 years, and the long course of treatment is beneficial to the health of oral tissues.
The purpose of orthodontic treatment is not only to achieve the therapeutic effect, the fork to make the tooth movement as close as possible to the physiological state.
In addition, patients and parents should pay attention to, orthodontic treatment must be high medical technology of the big hospital by orthodontic specialist doctors, blind treatment will give the patient some unexpected serious consequences.
