Chinese children, many times, act as a vessel, filled with all kinds of good things by their parents – good food, good toys, good supplies, good education, good environment, thinking that this will make them happy, healthy and joyful. So, orthodontics is unfortunately also treated as a kind of stuffing. Some parents may think that orthodontic treatment is entirely the doctor’s business, and that they only need to take time to take their children to see them once a month in between various cramming classes, just like a routine of paying utility bills, and then they can completely ignore the rest. I deeply doubt what kind of orthodontic results can be obtained by doing this down the road. Orthodontics is never a passive indoctrination thing. The only way to achieve the desired results in the long orthodontic treatment and maintenance process is for the child to actively participate in it and actively cooperate. Even if the child is too young to understand the importance of orthodontics, at least the parents should pay enough attention to it. It is true that for most people, orthodontics is only necessary for the aesthetic appearance of their teeth and face, but isn’t aesthetic appearance important? In modern life, there is no doubt about the importance of the first impression conveyed by a person’s appearance. For children, in their teenage years to their twenties, a neat, healthy, confident and sunny mental outlook, which is expressed by the harmony and beauty of their teeth and face, is an important capital for their future development, which can be gained far from just a few classes. In the process of orthodontics, what is needed is the child’s practical cooperation, otherwise it will surely bring various problems. Some children can’t even keep their monthly follow-up appointments, so how can the orthodontic process go smoothly? Some children do not brush their teeth carefully, resulting in demineralized plaque and even dental caries; some children do not pay attention to protecting the brackets stuck to the teeth when eating, causing frequent damage to the aligners and hindering the progress of orthodontic treatment; some children do not wear orthodontic aids as required, making the course of treatment much longer and less effective; some children do not wear retainers carefully, making the already straightened teeth relapse again and abandon the previous work …… and these are not things that doctors or others can do instead of children. Of course, this is a burden for the child, but it is not superfluous. As a child grows up, he or she needs not only knowledge to learn, but also character development to be accomplished in a variety of life events. To develop healthy habits, punctuality and regularity, to be patient and meticulous, persistent and not in a hurry, to learn to take responsibility, to know that future gains come from today’s little accumulation, and future failures are due to today’s slackness, to learn to respect the work of others, to listen to useful advice …… dare not say that the orthodontic process It is not to say that the orthodontic process can develop these qualities, but at least it is a test of them. Therefore, if your child is undergoing orthodontic treatment, please don’t let him be an outsider to orthodontics, but be a participant in it together with him.
