Recently there has been a lot of publicity on the Internet about Korean surgical orthodontics, and some patients have asked about this “miraculous” method of rapid adult orthodontics during the first consultation, in order to answer the doubts in the minds of patients, I went online to collect relevant information, I hope the following text can help you understand this procedure. This is an explanation of the procedure on a Korean orthodontic surgery portal: the relationship between the teeth and the jaw is adjusted directly by opening the alveolar bone (cancellous bone, good blood supply, fast healing, and no joint marks after healing) through minimally invasive surgery. Compared with the traditional orthodontic surgery to open the supporting bone (dense bone, poor blood supply, slow healing, no scar after healing), osteotomy to adjust the relationship between the teeth and jaw, less risk, better results. Frankly speaking, I didn’t understand this paragraph the first time, and I think it’s not easy for all the patients to understand it either. In order to have a comprehensive understanding of the procedure, I collected some surgical descriptions and reviews of Korean surgical orthodontics on the Internet one after another. The so-called Korean surgical orthodontic technique is actually a surgical procedure to cut the teeth into several bone segments with teeth and then re-fix them to achieve the effect of aligning the teeth. It is no different from surgical orthodontics itself, but repackaged with some eye-catching gimmicks such as “Korean” and “minimally invasive”. So can surgical orthodontics achieve rapid orthodontic treatment for adults or not? In fact, surgical orthodontics has long been eliminated in foreign countries. In China in the 1980s and 1990s, as fixed orthodontic technology has just started, there are many grassroots units can not carry out, surgical orthodontics as an alternative to fixed orthodontics was carried out for a period of time, with the rapid improvement of China’s orthodontic level, coupled with the limitations of surgical orthodontics itself, in recent years has rarely been mentioned, even the earliest domestic surgical orthodontics Professor Geng Wenqi in 2002 Even Prof. Geng Wenqi, who was the first to perform surgical orthodontics in China, said in 2002 that due to the changing times and the continuous progress of society, the rapid development of conventional orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery, the surgical method of surgical orthodontics may only be suitable for the national conditions of China at that time (1980s and 1990s), and is no longer applicable today. The limitations of surgical orthodontics are briefly summarized as follows: 1. High pulpal death rate (11.8%) due to low osteotomy line. 2. 2. The effect of tooth alignment is limited by the number of bone segments cut. However, as the number of bone segments increases, the risk of tooth dead pulp increases greatly, and the surgery becomes more traumatic, making it more difficult to fix the bone segments and making it easier to relapse. In order to align the teeth, many patients still need to align the teeth through porcelain crown restoration later. 3, the lower jaw for surgical orthodontics need to be more careful, if the accidental injury to the chin nerve or lower alveolar nerve, may lead to numbness of the lips and other sequelae. After reading the above text, I believe that sufferers should have a certain understanding of the so-called “Korean” surgical orthodontics. In fact, orthodontics is not a mechanical movement of teeth, but a complex physiological alteration process of teeth and alveolar bone, the desire for speed is not achieved, too fast movement of teeth will cause damage to the teeth themselves, resulting in root resorption, alveolar bone atrophy and other complications. Therefore, when you see some similar propaganda of adult fast orthodontics and “Korean” surgical orthodontics in the future, please think twice before you go.
