A 41-year-old mother, whose teeth have grown unevenly since she was a child, reveals red gums when she smiles, and her low self-esteem haunts her to this day. But can Zhang Huifang, who has reached middle age, have another corrective surgery? Besides, wearing braces in social occasions, I’m afraid that the taste of being pointed out by people is also unbearable. After several communications, Lin Xinping offered her the best of both worlds. Orthodontics is no longer the preserve of children Orthodontics is mainly done on the alveolar bone. “Indeed, because of growth and development, children’s alveolar bone is more active, while adults’ alveolar bone is a little slower. However, with the rapid development of science and technology, the three-dimensional orthodontic force acting on the teeth is now easier to control, the teeth in the three-dimensional direction of movement is also more accurate, so that adults can now receive good results.” Lin Xinping introduced. There is a view that having teeth that have been fixed for a long time rearranged and put back together can have a negative impact on oral health. Lin Xinping does not deny that orthodontics can have some impact on the periodontium. “Compared to orthodontics in the past, modern orthodontics advocates the role of lighter forces, and with the level of expertise of doctors, the adverse effects on teeth are minimal. On the contrary, from the physiological point of view, teeth become flat after orthodontics, which can significantly improve dental and periodontal health, and provide help to strengthen chewing ability and enjoy food; from the psychological point of view, a mouthful of neat and white teeth will make people more psychologically healthy and enhance self-confidence. Therefore, it is said that the benefits gained from orthodontics far outweigh the possible negative effects.” Wearing orthodontic appliances brings all kinds of discomfort and pain, which makes many people daunted by orthodontic treatment. Lin Xinping told reporters that the materials used for orthodontic appliances are also continuing to advance, generally choosing elastic steel wires that will produce a gentle force for fabrication to minimize pain for patients. Mr. Xu from Pingyang County had orthodontic surgery when he was a child, unfortunately, his teeth need orthodontic treatment again, Lin Xinping chose for him to use the new material made of braces, trembling Mr. Xu put on, happy to say: “Now there is no pain, almost nothing to feel, much more comfortable than when I was a child. ” The new weapon of orthodontics A mention of orthodontic appliances, people often think of “iron teeth” – a few steel brackets tightly attached to the outside of the teeth, a steel wire through it. In fact, this technology has become a yesterday. In Lin Xinping’s studio, the reporter saw four new types of orthodontic appliances. Lingual orthodontic appliance. This orthodontic appliance uses computer-aided design (CAD) and assisted fabrication (CAM) to completely personalize the design and customize it for the patient. Simulation analysis by numerical alignment software allows patients to see the final orthodontic result in advance. This orthodontic appliance is hidden on the lingual side, making it difficult to detect its presence from the outside. However, this appliance is more expensive, twice as expensive as regular aligners, and requires a certain level of skill on the part of the doctor. Imported self-ligating ceramic brackets plus aesthetic archwires. Clear imported self-ligating brackets with aesthetic archwires can also achieve the aesthetic results required by adults. Invisible aligners without brackets. These aligners are completely transparent and custom-made for the patient, and are comfortable to wear and can be removed by the patient. Oral hygiene is easier to care for with this orthodontic technique than with other aligners, but not all cases can be treated with these aligners. The combined application of invisible aligners and implant-supported technology. Invisible bracketless orthodontic technology has the advantage of being transparent, comfortable and removable, which is indeed more aesthetically pleasing and is now gradually being promoted clinically, but it is difficult to accurately express the control of long-distance movement of teeth with this technology. Based on the advantages and drawbacks of the bracketless invisible orthodontic technique, Xinping Lin’s team explored this technique based on a full understanding of the biomechanics of tooth movement by combining implant-supported technology and fragmented arch technology. The cost is comparable to other options. The “ugly duckling” becomes a “rich white girl” after orthodontic treatment may have a “hair-raising” effect. Lin Xinping showed the reporter the gradual change of a female patient in two years: two years ago, the patient had two rabbit teeth, her mouth protruded and her face was a bit “sharp-tongued”; after receiving treatment from Lin Xinping, her mouth and chin gradually contracted backwards, her face improved significantly, her chin began to become sharp, and now she looks quite a bit Now she looks like a “rich white woman”. If it wasn’t for this gradual change picture, it would be hard to believe that this would be the same person. Lin Xinping said that despite the adult orthodontic treatment, thanks to the development of some new technologies, such as with the development of implant-supported orthodontic technology, self-ligating bracket orthodontic technology, and orthodontic tissue bioengineering technology, some patients receive unexpected orthodontic effects on their facial aesthetics after orthodontic treatment. In particular, some patients with buck teeth can achieve the effect of inward lip and relatively prominent chin through the controlled inward recession of the front teeth and alveolar bone reconstruction, making the face coordinated and soft. In some patients, the results after such treatment may even exceed orthognathic surgery or cosmetic surgery. Because of the obvious improvement in facial aesthetics, the gradually decreasing side effects of orthodontic treatment, and the fact that some aesthetic techniques can be used during the orthodontic process, it is now becoming more and more common for adults to receive orthodontic treatment. It is understood that improving the face with the help of orthodontic techniques has become popular in developed countries such as Europe and the United States. Unlike the noisy environment of traditional dental clinics, foreign countries pay more attention to the privacy and comfort of the treatment environment, providing not only high-grade sofas, tea and books and newspapers, but also free WIFI Internet access equipment. Lin Xinping also learned these advantages from foreign countries when he started his orthodontic studio.
