Teeth can be kept straight by orthodontic treatment.
1. What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the correction of teeth and the removal of malocclusion. Orthodontics mainly studies the etiological mechanism, diagnosis, analysis, prevention and treatment of malocclusion. Orthodontics can achieve the effect of aesthetic teeth. The English name of orthodontics comes from the combination of three Greek roots, which mean “tooth“, “orthodontics” and “discipline”, which is what everyone calls straightening of teeth.
2. What is the use of orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontics can help restore chewing function. For example, if the upper and lower teeth are misaligned, it will have a great impact on our chewing. Poorly ground food can affect digestion, which in turn affects our entire digestive system.
Orthodontics prevent and avoid many periodontal diseases. If the teeth are deformed, there will be more dead spots when brushing, making the toothbrush unclean. If you do not have the habit of cleaning your teeth regularly, it is easy to cause tooth decay and even periodontal disease.
3. How long does it take to straighten teeth?
Since the growth and development of adults have been basically completed, the maxillofacial sutures have become osseous fusion, and the plasticity is very low, and the metabolic rate of adults is slowed down, and the biological reactivity is reduced. Therefore, the alveolar bone remodeling is relatively slow, and the teeth move relatively slowly. Slower, longer treatment time is required. Therefore, adult orthodontic treatment should not be rushed, but should be done step by step. If you insist on shortening the time, it will bring adverse consequences.
Orthodontics for children generally takes about one year, and orthodontics for adults generally takes about two years.
4. Is it safe to straighten teeth?
1. The safety of corrective surgery is related to the selection of surgical indications. This procedure is very safe for the right person. Then, if you are in poor physical condition or have a disease, the risk is relatively higher.
2. The safety of orthodontic surgery is related to the surgeon. Orthodontics is a very professional method, which is more targeted, and not all dental plastic surgeons can do.
3. Whether the dental hospital is authoritative or not is very important. A regular and authoritative hospital has a regular team of medical doctors, advanced surgical equipment, strict disinfection, and a first-class operating room environment to ensure the success rate and safety of dental implants.
To sum up, patients can keep their teeth straight by straightening their teeth, and patients can go to local regular medical institutions to consult with doctors and negotiate plans to achieve the best results.
