Do you need correction if you are crooked? What situations need to be corrected? What are the ways to correct the teeth? Wu Jun, director of the Department of Stomatology, Shenzhen Hezheng Hospital, gave everyone a wave of popularization.

Why correct the teeth?

Simply put, incarnation of tooth needs to be corrected. All kinds of uniform teeth often bring a lot of bad results: for example, the teeth are crowded, which will make the food residues between the teeth clean. Teeth are loose and bleeding gums; deformities will affect chewing. Due to the incorrect bite, it will also cause facial shape changes, that is, make you ugly!

At this time, "orthodontic treatment" is needed, which is the "orthodontics" in everyone's mouth.

What situations need to be corrected to the teeth (tooth fusion)?

1. Crowded dental

Crowded teeth not only affect the beauty, but also difficult to clean. If it is not in place, it will easily lead to dental caries and periodontal disease.

2. Anti -teeth (tooth combination)

It is commonly known as the earth, and the lower teeth are bitten outside the upper teeth. The cutting function of the front teeth is poor, which also affects the facial beauty.

3. Deep coverage

Commonly known as ， teeth, the upper teeth fluttering, the upper jaw front, the lower front teeth often bite the gums on the inner side of the front teeth, and the lips cannot be closed in the natural state, which not only seriously affects the aesthetics, but also causes bite the trauma.

4. Deep cover (tooth fixation)

Under normal circumstances, the upper teeth are slightly covered with the lower teeth when the teeth are placed. It's deep. Deep coverage can lead to bite trauma and temporal mandibular joint injury.

5. Lock (teeth)

During the occlusion, the upper tooth or multiple posterior teeth of the upper teachings or multiple posterior teeth is placed on the outside of the posterior teeth of the lower jaw, or the gesture or multiple posterior teeth is placed on the side of the upper tooth. Affect the bite function.

6. Open (tooth combination)

There is no contact in the vertical direction in the vertical direction of the front teeth, which will affect the chewing function and pronunciation, and reduce the facial aesthetics.

7, gum -exposed laughter

When smiling, the upper jaw gum exposure is normal within 2 mm, and the exposure greater than 2 mm gums will reduce facial dynamic beauty.

8. Dental gap

The gap between the front tooth lingers will affect the beauty. The gap between the rear tooth is easy to get the food and damage the periodontal tissue, which causes gingivitis and periodontitis. It is also easy to suffer from caries.

9. Facial asymmetric

It is manifested as the middle line of the upper and lower teeth, the occlusion of the bite of the tooth on both sides, and the asymmetry on the left and right sides of the face, which will seriously affect the occlusion function and beautiful appearance.

10, ambush teeth

The teeth are ambush in the jaw bone and cannot be sprung up by themselves. You can diagnose X -ray film. Ambush tooth not only affects the occlusion function and appearance of the bite, but also affects the growth of adjacent teeth and causes the absorption of neighboring tooth roots.

The above only lists some common situations that need to be corrected. Specifically your teeth need to be corrected, and you need to find a dentist for consultation and diagnosis.

What are the choices of orthodontics?

With the development of society, more and more people are orthodontics, and there are more and more types of appliances. The clinical commonly used metal fixed appliances (commonly known as steel braces), plastic -made non -bracket invisible appliances (commonly known as invisible braces), and tongue side correction.

1. Steel braces

Steel braces have a history of more than 100 years and mature technology. They are currently the most commonly used appliances in the clinic. They are mainly composed of two parts of the brackets and correction bows that are sticking to the tooth surface. Because they are all metal, they are commonly known as "Steel steel. Lunar.

Advantages: The appliance is fixed on the tooth surface, the non -demolition, the patient's cooperation requirements are low, and the price is more economical.

Disadvantages: ① Poor comfort, foreign body sensation is obvious; ② The bracket sticks to the teeth, improper bite can easily cause loosening, increase the frequency of retraining, and affect the efficacy. Therefore, it should be avoided during the correction process ③ The shape is complicated and not easy to clean, and dental caries and gingivitis are prone to occur.

Invisible braces

"Invisible braces" are a series of almost invisible transparent appliances tailored for patients through digital 3D printing technology. They are made of elastic and transparent polymer nanomaterials, commonly known as "invisible braces".

Advantages: ① transparent, almost invisible, suitable for patients with higher beauty requirements; ② can remove eating, brushing teeth, facilitate the cleaning of teeth, poor patients with poor tooth period and poor oral hygiene Comfortable, it is not easy to occur with oral ulcers; ④ The time to retract can be extended to three months or even longer, reducing the number of re -diagnosis and facilitating patients.

Disadvantages: ① It is required to wear more than 20 hours a day, and the patient's cooperation is higher; ② invisible braces require the doctor to accurately predict the correction process and results, and the technical requirements for doctors are higher; ③ the price is more expensive than the "steel braces".

3. Tongue side correction

The tongue -side correction technology is to fix the appliance (personalized bracket and bow) on the side of the tongue, and to correct the interaction between the bracelet and the bow.

Advantages: ① Beautiful, can achieve completely invisible correction; ② The appliance is on the side of the tooth tongue, no damage to the surface of the enamel, and there is no need to worry about the ore on the surface of the teeth; Patients with invisible but poor self -discipline; ④ tongue -side correction effects in lowering the anterior teeth, upper jaw expansion, and migrant maxillary teeth in the distant middle.

Disadvantages: ① Affecting tongue activity, it is more difficult to adapt; ② higher cost than conventional correction; ③ Compared with conventional correction, tongue side correction is more difficult, the operation is more complicated, and the operation of the chair is longer. (The operation time of the chair refers to the patient lying on the dental therapy chair and receive the time spent by doctors.) What are the common doubts of corrected teeth?

1. Is there age requirements?

There is no absolute age limit for corrected teeth, and adolescents and adults can be corrected. In addition, in the process of correction, you can let you understand oral health knowledge and develop good hygiene habits.

2. How long does the correction cycle take?

The cycle of adolescents does not extraction and correction is about 1 and a half years, and the cycle of tooth extraction and correction is about 2 and a half years. The cycle of adult correction is generally about half a year older than adolescents, that is, about 2 years without tooth extraction and correction cycle, and the tooth extraction cycle is about 3 years. If the difficulty of orthodontics is high, the treatment time will increase accordingly.

3. Does it hurt?

During the correction process, there will be some uncomfortable teeth, but it is not so exaggerated. The current concept of correction is increasingly increasingly corrected by lightly. Excellent correction doctors will adjust the appliance to the best position and minimize pain to minimize the pain.

Regardless of the choice of correction methods, it is just a correction tool for orthodontic doctors. Correction time and effect depends more on the technical level of doctors and the cooperation of patients. You can choose the appliance that suits you under the guidance of the doctor according to your own situation.
