Is there any harm in tooth extraction for orthodontic treatment? What are the benefits?

Dental health is the prerequisite for good health. If you have problems with your teeth, you will not be able to sleep well or eat well, which will harm your mind and body. Dental health does not only mean the absence of cavities. Properly arranged teeth are also very important. For teeth that do not grow correctly, doctors usually recommend extracting them to correct them. So, are there any harms in extracting teeth to correct them?

1. Are there any harmful effects of tooth extraction and correction?

In fact, as long as the tooth is extracted correctly, it is beneficial and harmless. Why is orthodontic tooth extraction actually necessary? In most cases, it is a measure taken to reduce the burden on the alveolar bone because the teeth are crowded and the alveolar bone cannot accommodate such a large number of teeth. If the teeth are crowded, they are often difficult to clean, which makes the related teeth prone to decay or periodontitis, shortening the service life of the teeth.

2. Benefits of orthodontic tooth extraction

1. After tooth extraction and correction, the teeth are neatly arranged and easy to clean. In addition to improving the appearance, the functions are normal and the life of the teeth can be extended.

2. Use the space left by tooth extraction to retract the front teeth, improve the protrusion of the dental arch, and improve the facial shape. For example, some people have protruding lips. After tooth extraction and correction, the protrusion of the lips will become smaller and the face shape will become more beautiful.

3. The operability of orthodontic tooth extraction

Whether to extract teeth and which teeth to extract should also be decided based on a comprehensive analysis of each patient's situation. For some cases that are at the borderline of whether to extract teeth or not, we often try to treat them without extracting the teeth first, and if extraction is possible, we try not to do so. Bofit Dental has a number of patented orthodontic technologies that can greatly reduce the rate of tooth extraction.

4. Choose a professional institution for orthodontic extraction

Compared with other dental intervention treatments, orthodontics has higher requirements on the doctor's operating skills and clinical experience. Only experienced dental experts can consider the overall condition of the patient's teeth, bones, and facial shape from both a health and aesthetic perspective, and perform corrective treatment on deformed teeth while maintaining the tooth occlusion. Patients should not blindly choose informal institutions. Some small institutions do not have the above characteristics and even recruit patients under the guise of low prices. Some patients have a weak sense of self-protection and have received treatment in informal small clinics and hospitals. Naturally, the correction effect is not ideal.
