Many plastic surgeons believe that the correction time of more than one year and a half to two years is too long, and they often require doctors to strengthen the correction and shorten the orthodontic time.

In fact, the sooner you correct your teeth, the better.

As orthodontists know, the speed of orthodontic treatment should not be too fast!

Otherwise, it may lead to increased toothache, or even affect normal diet; Cause root resorption; It causes alveolar bone absorption, that is, the height of the bone around the root of the tooth decreases, exposing the root of the tooth and making the tooth sensitive.

Moving too fast will cause certain damage to the root and alveolar bone, which will easily lead to root exposure, pulp necrosis and tooth loosening.

Therefore, orthodontic time must follow the science, rather than blindly pursuing speed and shortening the course of treatment.

Generally, the orthodontic time is about 2-3 years

The correction time of mild malocclusion is about one and a half to two years; Some complex cases, such as bone deformities, are difficult to reconstruct due to the dense alveolar bone, and the correction time usually exceeds two or even three years.

Of course, everyone's oral condition is different, the speed of tooth movement is different, and the correction time is also different.

The common point is that the teeth must move smoothly under the proper corrective action.

When the tooth is subjected to orthodontic force, the tooth will move in the specified direction. The alveolar bone on the pressure side will be absorbed, and the alveolar bone on the tension side will become bone. The reconstruction of alveolar bone will not stop until the end of orthodontics.

If the force of correction is too small, it is not easy to take effect. If the force is too large, periodontal tissue damage may occur. After the injury, the tissues need time to repair, which will delay the tooth movement and lengthen the orthodontic time.

Therefore, the mainstream correction technologies adopted at home and abroad generally follow the principle of soft and light force.
