Orthodontic treatment must pay attention to what problems will appear in orthodontic treatment, which problems are needed to understand and know before orthodontic treatment?
Generally, orthodontic treatment involves pain, oral hygiene care and other related issues during orthodontic treatment.
Specifically, these problems need to be understood and known before orthodontic treatment: the above are the problems that may be encountered and occur in orthodontic treatment.
It is recommended that you should make relevant psychological preparation in advance, so that you can achieve good cooperation with doctors in orthodontic treatment and ensure the ideal effect of orthodontic treatment.
First listen to the oral hygiene guidance from the doctor according to the appointment time return visit, if not for a long time the tooth will not move.
Or abnormal changes, can not go to the expected effect, more than three months without reason, according to the automatic withdrawal from treatment, all the consequences of the occurrence of nothing to do with the doctor.
(1) Orthodontic treatment is an investment in health and beauty, different from the purchase of a commodity, the cost of which varies with the degree of deformity, type of orthodontic device, degree of patient cooperation, age, course of treatment and other factors.
Please make full mental preparation before you start treatment.
(2) Orthodontic treatment is a long process, patients need to actively cooperate with the doctor.
Every procedure must be performed in strict accordance with the doctor’s orders, and regular visits must be made.
(3) The doctor takes into account the patient’s requirements, health, beauty, function, stability and other factors when designing the program, but it cannot fully meet all your requirements and special preferences.
(4) Orthodontic design is determined in the early stage of treatment, but the beginning of treatment, patients can not be arbitrarily modified midway.
Children who cannot help themselves or are incapacitated must be accompanied and signed by a parent.
(5) During orthodontic treatment for pain, patients may have tooth pain or sensitivity within 2 to 3 days after each adjustment (especially when the orthodontic device is just installed). The degree may be different due to personal constitution, correction force and application method.
If there is adequate explanation and communication before orthodontic treatment, patients can tolerate the discomfort.
Mild reactive pain or discomfort may occur after initial orthodontic wear and after each visit. Generally, it will be relieved or disappear after 3-5 days.
If the pain worsens or other conditions occur, contact your doctor promptly.
Do not adjust yourself if the patient feels unwell.
So as not to damage the correction.
Contact your doctor as soon as possible.
(6) About oral hygiene inadequate oral cleaning and maintenance during orthodontic treatment may also cause decalcification of tooth surface, tooth caries or periodontal disease, especially when patients often eat sweets or brush teeth improperly.
Alveolar bone and periodontal tissue must not be inflamed to adapt to the correction force and make the teeth move smoothly. Without good oral hygiene habits, it is easy to cause long-term accumulation of dental plaque on the tooth surface around the orthodontic device, which will eventually lead to gingival inflammation, abnormal resorption of alveolar bone, and decrease the stability of teeth.
Patients who wear fixed orthotics should pay special attention to oral hygiene.
It is necessary to brush your teeth in the morning, in the evening and after eating. The soft dirt and food residue on the teeth should be carefully cleaned. Otherwise, it is easy to cause gingivitis, periodontitis, decalcification of teeth and dental caries, which will affect the progress of correction.
(7) In the process of fixed orthodontic treatment, do not eat hard (such as ribs), too sticky (such as sticky cakes) and other food, large food must be made small before eating (such as apples), in order to prevent the orthodontic damage.
If it is found that the loose ring or broken arch wire will affect the oral function, it is necessary to contact the doctor in time to determine whether it is necessary to come for further consultation.
(8) Retention time after orthodontic treatment, the teeth often move to a new position, and the supporting tissues around the teeth often need a period of time to adapt to each other and establish a new constant relationship due to treatment or growth and development.
At this point, the patient needs to wear an orthodontic retainer (retainer) to stabilize the retainer, to stabilize the tooth with the new position after orthodontic treatment, and to avoid the problem of rebound after orthodontic treatment.
The length of retention time after orthodontic treatment depends on the person, the specific need for orthodontists combined with the patient’s malocclusion, generally in 1-2 years, individual serious patients will wear for life.
