What is the orthodontic process like?

Crooked teeth can affect a person's facial image, so if you have deformed teeth, you need to pay attention to correcting them. And you should also pay attention to understanding the correct method of correction. First, you should go to the hospital for an examination and choose an effective and appropriate correction method.

1. Before doing orthodontic treatment, you should first understand your treatment method and process, as well as the process, time, cost, and whether the time arrangement is reasonable, etc., because during the correction period, the patient must go to the hospital regularly for follow-up maintenance, which also takes time. Here, patients are not recommended to go to small clinics. Since the hygiene conditions and disinfection of medical equipment in small clinics do not meet the standards, the quality and safety of surgery cannot be guaranteed, and the postoperative effect is also unpredictable. To be on the safe side, it is better to choose a regular hospital.

2. During the correction process, after the examination, the doctor will first give you a comprehensive examination, take models, take X-rays, take dental films, etc. After these diagnoses are made, the doctor will design a surgical plan for you, which may involve whether you need to have your teeth extracted, or whether severe jaw deformities require surgery. After the design plan is completed, the patient's surgical process will be carried out according to the design of the plan. Teeth that need to be extracted will be extracted, and periodontal treatment will be performed if necessary. After these are completed, regular follow-up treatment will begin, and force adjustments will be made about once a month.

3. This is the beginning of a long period of orthodontic treatment. During this period, the doctor needs to constantly adjust the strength according to the progress of the dental treatment in order to stabilize the teeth in the appropriate position. Since tooth correction is a gradual process, you cannot remove the braces at will during this period to avoid affecting the correction effect. Please follow the doctor's advice during the correction period and pay attention to your diet and lifestyle.

4. The effect can be seen within half a year after the correction. In order to consolidate the correction effect, you still need to wear it. In this way, the correction is completed!
