What is the purpose of braces? As the title suggests, thank you

Braces are also known as aligners, and if the teeth are not in the correct position or there is a problem with the bite, they can be corrected by wearing braces. For example, the original teeth are not aligned or the teeth are bursting, that is, the earth is covered with heaven or earth, it is necessary to start orthodontics**, if some bone problems may not be solved by simple braces, you need to wear braces with surgery**. The main function of braces is to lift the braces to the teeth, and then the orthodontist can use the wire to exert force on the teeth, which can make the teeth move, and align the crooked teeth through force.

1. Braces are now a way to correct dental deformities, because the situation of each dental deformity patient is different, so the way of orthodontic treatment will be different. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to the length of braces, but there are many factors that make the decision.

2. Different ages with patients, the complexity of dental deformities is different, and the time for wearing braces is also different, and the time for wearing braces is generally more than one and a half to two years.

3. This also depends on the patient's cooperation, if the patient actively cooperates, there is no problem in the process, it may recover in two years, and if the cooperation is not good, it is even possible in three or four years.

4. Braces are tools for orthodontic teeth, and the common people say that wearing braces is to carry out orthodontic teeth and orthodontics. However, orthodontics is only a narrow explanation, which is simply to solve the problem of teeth, and the common ones are crowded with dentition and gaps between teeth, or abnormal occlusal relationship of individual teeth. Broadly speaking, in addition to dental deformities, there are also dentofacial deformities, such as maxillary protrusion, mandibular protrusion, and bimaxillary protrusion, which refers to both maxillary protrusion and mandibular protrusion.

5. Therefore, through correction, the deformity of the teeth and the deformity of the dentofacial can be solved, so that the deformity of the jaw can be solved, and the incorrect face shape that should not be there can be changed can be changed, and the face can be beautiful. It is recommended that the child go to the dental department of a regular hospital or the orthodontic department of a large hospital at the age of 12, and the doctor will conduct a detailed clinical examination, and some may cooperate with cephalometry to see if there are any dental and maxillofacial deformities, and if so, correct them as soon as possible.

Wearing braces, also known as orthodontics**, has the advantage of being able to solve the disorder of tooth occlusion in time, reduce the crowding of teeth, and avoid the occurrence of periodontitis and caries caused by crowding. After correcting the disordered occlusal relationship, joint trauma can be avoided, and the face shape can be changed to the greatest extent, making it very beautiful. However, if the orthodontic situation itself is more complicated, and the age of orthodontics is relatively late, there will indeed be certain harms:

1. It is easy to cause the absorption of the tooth root, especially when the orthodontic force is too large, in order to emphasize the efficacy and speed up the process, it will aggravate the absorption of alveolar bone and the absorption of the tooth root.

2. If you are a patient with periodontitis, orthodontics** is likely to lead to loosening and loss of teeth.

Braces are an indispensable tool in orthodontic surgery, which can realign teeth neatly and beautifully, and can achieve the effect of correcting dental deformities. However, there may be some adverse reactions in the body after wearing braces, which will affect the correction effect, and will affect daily life and work.

What are the adverse effects of braces?

1. Canker sores. After wearing braces, due to a foreign body in the mouth, the mouth will feel very uncomfortable, resulting in red, swollen and inflamed gums, and even mouth ulcers. Especially when you first wear braces, it takes a period of adaptation, when the teeth and gums are more fragile, and oral inflammation and diseases are more likely.

2. Affect diet. After wearing braces, it will cause dietary taboos, there are many foods that can not be eaten, especially some foods that are hard and easy to crumble into slag or sticky teeth, otherwise it is easy to cause oral bleeding or inflammation, if it is not cleaned up in time, plaque bacteria and tartar will be formed after a long time, then the harm to oral health will be greater.

3. Loose teeth. After wearing braces, because the teeth deviate from the original position, as long as you don't pay attention to it, there will be loosening, so you need to wear retainers often to maintain the position of the teeth, and at the same time, it will seriously affect the patient's chewing function, and the effect of tooth correction will be destroyed if you are not careful.

4. Unsightly. Wearing braces will seriously affect the patient's aesthetics, because braces are not real teeth after all, and they will be very unnatural at first glance, which will affect the appearance and image, produce low self-esteem, and may even affect the patient's self-confidence, which will have a very negative impact on mental health. There are also many people who laugh unnaturally in ordinary times, so they require themselves to control their emotions in ordinary times and try to laugh without showing their teeth.

5. It is inconvenient to care. In the process of wearing braces, if you do not pay attention to care, it will seriously affect the effect of orthodontics, and it is easy to have sequelae. The daily care is very troublesome, so many impatient patients do not have very good plastic surgery results after wearing braces.

What should I pay attention to after wearing braces?

1. Pay attention to oral hygiene. Brush your teeth regularly, once in the morning and once in the evening, be gentle when brushing your teeth, brush each part in place, and rinse your mouth in time after eating.

2. Pay attention to your diet. After wearing braces, you should pay attention to a light diet, do not eat too spicy food, do not eat too hard food and too sweet food, of course, do not eat foods such as nuts, and do not smoke and drink.

1. Pain.

Because the braces are tightly attached to the teeth, the braces will have a great force on the teeth, so they have the effect of correcting the teeth, but this practice will also cause the patient to feel pain, which is mainly caused by factors such as damage to the tooth nerve, damage to the tooth structure and tooth movement.

2. Loose teeth.

If a person does not use braces correctly when wearing braces, such as often eating harder food with his teeth, and the body falls, it may cause sequelae such as gum recession and loose teeth, so it is best not to eat too hard food during wearing braces, and it is best to eat softer food.

3. Oral problems.

Brushing teeth after braces is not convenient, and if a person is lazy to clean their mouth, it will not only lead to inflammation, bad breath and yellowing of teeth, but also diseases such as tooth decay. Laziness to clean the mouth refers to not brushing your teeth for a long time, and there is food jamming, which is not cleaned in time.

Worried that many diets will be contraindicated during the correction period, which will affect the growth and development, Liu Yan said that in the first 3-5 days after wearing braces or 3-5 days after each follow-up visit, the teeth will be sore, and the child will take the initiative to avoid eating harder food, at this time, you can eat some softer and easily digestible food, and you can eat and drink normally after a period of time. However, since the braces are bonded to the surface of the teeth, children still need to pay attention to food choices, do not eat too hard (such as pistachios, pots, twist flowers, chicken legs, pork ribs, etc., dates), too sticky (such as toffee) and shelled food, and avoid gnawing food with front teeth to avoid loose braces.

Before braces, teeth grinding is a dental preparation to ensure that the size and fit of the braces are close to those of natural teeth. For pulp teeth, teeth grinding can adversely affect the dental nerve, which may cause tooth sensitivity or pain, and tooth enamel will also be worn away. Therefore, it is best not to recommend braces for pulp teeth, as pulp teeth need to be protected by braces due to brittle teeth.

In addition, during the period of braces, there will be pain for 2 days after each adjustment, and it is generally adjusted once a month.

The reason why teeth can be corrected and moved is because the teeth are subjected to external force, and the osteoblasts on the stressed side are more active, and new bone is formed, and the osteoclasts on the compressed side are more active, so there is bone resorption, so that osteogenesis and osteoclasts can reach a relatively stable state, and the teeth can move more stably and move to the position we want.

In addition, the teeth can be moved through brackets and archwires, especially the straight-wire bow brackets are corrected, and many angles are preformed on the brackets, which can make the teeth better and more accurately expressed and moved, so the teeth can be well corrected.

Why do braces straighten teeth? 3D animation shows the whole process, the principle is clear at a glance!

Orthodontics is mainly done through aligners. This method is the same as the physical force and reaction force, which is to first place the bracket on the tooth, and then act the force on the tooth, so that the tooth slowly moves towards a neat alignment curve. At the same time, the maxilla and mandible of the human body are the only bones in the human body that can be remodeled for life.

It can also be moved normally by pushing and pulling, which is in line with normal healthy movement.
