When the teeth are out of alignment, selecting appropriate correction methods can make the teeth neat and beautiful again. As for the time required for dental correction, this is a question in many people's minds. Because everyone's teeth are different, the correction method and nursing method chosen are also different, so the specific time will also be different. It will take about one to three years. In order to ensure the effect and safety of correction, it is essential to select a regular hospital for face-to-face diagnosis. Next, we will introduce all aspects of orthodontics in detail.
1、 What factors affect the correction time?
1. The degree of tooth deformity varies from person to person. For people with less deformities, the time required for correction is naturally shorter; In the case of difficult correction, the time required will be extended accordingly.
2. Nursing during correction is very important. If the improper nursing results in the damage of the braces or the failure to adjust them in time, it may affect the orthodontic treatment and lead to the extension of time. On the contrary, if the nursing is proper and there is no problem, the correction time may be shortened.
3. The time required for orthodontics by people of different ages is also different. For adolescents between 12 and 16 years old, the correction time will be shorter due to the relatively low difficulty of correction. As the teeth of adults have been shaped, it is difficult to correct them, and it will take a long time.
2、 Steps and processes of orthodontics
Before dental correction, it is necessary to go to the hospital for interview and fully communicate with the doctor, who will determine the treatment plan through inspection. Later, the doctor will prepare the inverted membrane according to the condition of the teeth to facilitate the use of the braces. For irregular teeth, the doctor will trim them. If extra teeth need to be extracted, they will be extracted to provide space for tooth movement. After the production of the braces, they will be directly worn on the teeth and adjusted to the appropriate strength. During the correction process, the braces should be tightened regularly to ensure proper correction. When the correction is complete, the braces will be removed.
3、 Precautions for orthodontics
In the process of tooth correction, attention should be paid to the following points: adjust the diet structure to avoid eating sticky food to prevent brackets from falling off; Eat less hard food to avoid damage to the braces; Brush your teeth carefully, maintain oral hygiene, and increase the difficulty of tooth cleaning; After that, they should go to the hospital for reexamination regularly to find and solve problems as soon as possible. After the completion of dental correction, it is still necessary to wear retainers for 1 to 2 years to consolidate the correction effect.
4、 Possible sequelae of orthodontic teeth and preventive measures
Although orthodontics is a common treatment method, there may still be some sequelae, such as tooth demineralization, caries, looseness, etc. The occurrence of these conditions is related to the dental care and doctors' technical level. The key to prevent sequelae is to select a skilled doctor for correction and do a good job of dental care.
No matter what causes the tooth problems, it is very important to choose appropriate corrective methods and do a good job of nursing. Understand and follow the above guidelines, hoping to help you on the road of dental correction more smoothly. Remember that early detection, early treatment and scientific nursing are the keys to ensure the corrective effect.
