Smile, is to make people open the crystal key to the door of the soul, a beautiful smile can mobilize people’s senses to enjoy in social interaction, work and life, so that people produce a sense of adoration, triggering passion and pursuit. American scholar Hassebrauk believes that, in evaluating the degree of individual facial attractiveness, the smile is second only to the eyes of the second most important feature. And teeth are the smile of the “spokesman”, if you can not well let the facial form and teeth complement each other, then the smile makes people look bad. Some time ago online quite red “buck teeth brother”, its appearance is full of joy, the root of the problem is that he grinned openly after revealing the two incisors that people can not help but laugh. In fact, in our lives, there are many people with such irregular teeth. A survey organized by the Chinese Dental Association in 2000 showed that the prevalence of malocclusion during the period of milk teeth was 51.84%, and the prevalence of early permanent teeth in adolescents was 72.92%. Since the teeth are not straight, it is definitely necessary to do orthodontics. So, for orthodontics, how much do you know? 1, orthodontics, are you doing the right thing at the right time? Generally speaking, the best time for orthodontic treatment is before growth and development stops, i.e. 12-14 years old. Most malocclusions can be corrected at this age with good results. However, you should be careful if your child has any of the following problems, which need to be corrected as early as possible. (1) Reverse Jaw. This is what is commonly known as the “ground bunion”. The treatment principle of antimandibular is early detection, early treatment, generally the treatment of milk teeth in the age of 3-5 years, this stage can be treated with some simple movable orthodontic appliances; 6-8 years of age is generally the observation period; 9-11 years of age for the treatment of antimandibular the second important period, because this period is the rapid growth and development of adolescents, some bone antimandibular need to be corrected in this period, miss this period may lead to facial deformity, more and more serious, the future treatment is also more serious. Missing this period may lead to more and more serious facial deformity and more difficult treatment in the future; 12-14 years old is the third treatment period, because the growth of the jaw can last until after 18 years old, therefore, regular review is needed after the end of the treatment in this period. (2) Malocclusion of the jaws. Some bony malocclusions such as anterior or posterior protrusion or retrusion of the upper and lower jaws, open jaws and other deformities need orthopedic treatment at the age of 9-11 years old to inhibit or promote the growth of the jaws and prevent the further development of malocclusions. (3 ) Malocclusion caused by bad habits. Due to bad habits such as finger sucking, tongue spitting, mouth breathing, and sideways chewing, some functional malocclusions may be caused, which need to be broken by early orthodontic treatment. So, is it true that you can’t do orthodontic treatment when you miss the optimal age, such as adults? The answer is no. The key factor affecting orthodontic treatment is not age, but the health of the supporting tissues around your teeth, such as gums and alveolar bone. Domestic orthodontic titan Prof. Fu Minqui 71 years old by his students to do their own orthodontic, good results. According to the American Academy of Orthodontics, about 5 million people wear braces across the United States each year, 1/5 of which are adults over 18 years old. From the female lawyers in the popular on-screen drama “Sex and the City” to Hollywood stars like Tom Cruise, orthodontists have become a major player in the world of orthodontics. Cruise and other Hollywood stars, have been “braces family”, domestic stars, such as Sun Li, S have had braces. So, pro, don’t worry about whether you can wear braces of this problem of the older youth, you can. 2, ask yourself, your teeth to the power or not? One of the key factors in orthodontic treatment is periodontal problems. World Health Organization survey shows that teenagers and adults in the group of teeth in the group of periodontal disease incidence rate of up to 98% or more, a large part of the reason lies in the teeth of patients with teeth cleaning problems, many misaligned crowded places often residual food debris can not be removed and the formation of tartar, long time stimulation caused periodontal disease, such as bleeding gums, teeth loose. Coupled with the lack of attention to dental health, the result is that many people just past middle age, teeth even loose or even fall out. In foreign countries, the teeth neat and healthy or not is an important standard to judge the quality of a person. Many people are worried that their teeth will be easily loosened after orthodontic treatment. In fact, the proper orthodontic treatment, not only will not make the teeth loose, but also due to the teeth aligned so that the teeth are easier to clean, help the treatment of periodontal disease. Certain malocclusions of the teeth, such as the aforementioned bucktooth brother, increase the risk of trauma even more. So, people with misaligned teeth can’t afford to get hurt! 3, invisible orthodontics, beautiful but not blinding Another important problem that plagues many people to do orthodontics is that with braces is not very good looking? This is also an important reason why you can not make up your mind to do orthodontic treatment. At present, the mainstream braces used in orthodontic treatment are made of metal materials, which do look more conspicuous. In recent years, with the advancement of material science, many new brackets and technologies have emerged. For example, bioceramic brackets and crystal brackets, whose color is similar to the color of teeth, can have a certain invisible effect from a distance. There is also a computer-aided design of invisible aligners, which are completely transparent and basically invisible. Of course, if you must be completely invisible, you can also choose lingual brackets, which will be completely invisible in appearance. 4, wearing braces, bitter and happy Generally speaking, after wearing braces, it takes 3-5 days of adaptation. Orthodontic need to be reviewed once a month to adjust the force, each time after the adjustment of two or three days, most people feel some vague dull pain, in fact, this is a self-reaction of the teeth after the force. Some discomfort? Congratulations, your teeth are moving in a good direction. Another problem is that you can’t eat anything too hard after wearing braces. After all, the braces are glued to the tooth surface and may fall off if you accidentally cluck. So, say goodbye to hairy crabs for now! With braces on, it’s even more important to do a good job of cleaning your teeth. Brushing is routine, and aids such as interdental brushes are needed if necessary. The pain is temporary, the health and beauty after the orthodontic treatment is over is lasting, believe it or not, I believe it anyway.
