It is a common phenomenon that the jaw tooth lengthens by 1mm after a long time of missing teeth, but can the implant tooth be implanted after the jaw tooth lengthens by 1mm? This is a problem.

First of all, I have to answer a misunderstanding that whether the oral cavity can be implanted does not depend on whether the jaw teeth stretch, nor does it depend on whether the jaw teeth stretch 1mm. In fact, it depends mainly on how much space there is in the oral cavity.

usually The distance from the jaw tooth position to the alveolar bone position is 5mm Meet the requirements of implant teeth. Therefore, when the opposite tooth is extended by 1 mm and the distance is greater than or equal to 5, it is necessary to measure the distance from the jaw tooth to the missing tooth gingiva mm implant.

When the position is less than 5 mm, it cannot be implanted, and the jaw teeth need to be treated.

What if the distance is less than 5mm? There are generally three ways:

1. The use of anchorage decreases, but the results of this treatment vary from person to person.

2. Judge whether the orthodontic teeth are elongated or not according to the position of the teeth.

Both methods need some time.

3. Molars can grind small and long jaw teeth. This method is fast and simple, but the damage to teeth is irreversible. If you wear out too many jaw teeth, you also need to repair the crown.

Suggestion: Molars are sensitive, so you must pay attention to oral hygiene and do a good job of daily cleaning.

When a tooth is missing, we must implant it in time. Because after a long period of tooth loss, not only the jaw teeth will stretch, but also the teeth on both sides of the missing position will dump into the middle, which makes it more and more difficult to implant teeth. Therefore, for the sake of tooth health, we should also implant teeth as soon as possible.
