What are the precautions for invisible orthodontic treatment

Invisible orthodontics is a relatively common method of orthodontic treatment. The main target of treatment is the premature loss of deciduous teeth. This technology mainly includes translucent ceramic correction technology and fully transparent invisible correction technology. The best time for plastic surgery should be between 12 and 18 years old. Its types include invisible braces, completely invisible braces and ceramic braces.

type

1. Invisible braces

It was first developed in the United States in recent years. This technology is very different from previous orthodontic treatment. First, the doctor uses a computer to reconstruct the patient's teeth in three dimensions and analyze which teeth need correction. Then the computer is used to adjust the position of the teeth. For example, if a tooth needs to move 2 mm, it can be done in 10 steps, with each step moving 0.2 mm. The image after each step is output, and braces are made according to the picture. The patient wears the braces for correction. This is a plastic brace with a thickness of about a few tenths of a millimeter. It is wrapped around the teeth and has strength, so it is not easy for others to tell that teeth correction has been done. It usually takes 1 to 1.5 years and costs between 20,000 and 30,000 yuan.

2. There is also a completely invisible braces

The braces are made of metal, but they are worn on the inside of the teeth. Depending on the stress and bearing points of the teeth, the teeth are corrected by changes in stainless steel brackets, steel wires, etc. Because they are glued to the inside of the teeth, it looks like no braces are worn. However, since it is located on the inner side of the teeth, it is very difficult to operate, so the treatment cost is 3 times more expensive than the usual cost, about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. This method is suitable for patients with various tooth misalignments.

3. Ceramic braces

In addition to invisible braces, you can also choose ceramic braces, which are worn on the front of the teeth. Compared with metal braces, they are more beautiful, the technology is more mature, and the cost is lower. They are generally 2,000 to 3,000 yuan more expensive than traditional wire metal braces, and are around 10,000 yuan.

Precautions

1. Because teeth correction requires wearing dental braces, it will make the user feel uncomfortable. If you want to completely eliminate the feeling, you must go through a period of adaptation.

2. After wearing the dental braces, your muscles may feel sore because there is an extra object in your mouth. This is normal and you don't need to worry too much.

3. Pay more attention to the cleanliness of your teeth while wearing dental braces. If necessary, use mouthwash to clean your teeth after each meal.
