Teeth misalignment, how treatment?

There are people who are confident because their teeth are not beautiful, have teeth defects. They are very eager to edit their teeth for better, returning teeth to the right ' order '. With the advancement of dental jaw specialization, this is not difficult.

Losing confidence because of bad teeth

One day at the orthodontic department there are many cases of medical examination and treatment. The one who was lurched, the crooked teeth, the wrong teeth. The common point of everyone coming here is . limiting laughing because of fear.

According to MSc. Hoang Thi Bach Duong, Deputy Head of Orthodontics, National Institute of Odonto-Stomatology, cases of popular orthodontic correction in the age of 10-25. The most visited cases are rotated teeth, crooked teeth, crooked teeth, reverse teeth (people called teeth teeth), patients with cleft lip cleft (cleft palate), teeth that grow underground, teeth are lost, changing places, teeth are sparse. Patients come largely because of aesthetic needs, but in the process of editing, the doctors will just pay attention to the aesthetic aspect and ensure the function of the teeth.

Causes of disease and treatment

MSc. Aries said, can be caused by many causes such as genetics, due to the imbalance in size between teeth and jaws, defective diseases due to cleft palate, due to bad habits such as sucking fingers, Biting lips, sucking lips, babies sucking with rubber nipples for a long time, children with milk tooth decay but not treated.

Patients who want to treat the disease must go to the specialized dental jaw. Doctors will examine, take pictures, take samples of two jaw teeth. Depending on the type of disease, doctors will use therapeutic devices such as external force correction, jaw resistance, disassembled jaws or fastened jaws to adjust the patient's teeth. The common point of the teeth adjustment tools is the plastic part, the force forming wires and the latches attached to the teeth.

Duration of treatment divided into two periods. The first period is 1-2.5 years, the second period is wearing jaws that hold the results for a period of 6 months to 1 year. In some special cases, the treatment period can go through many stages, prolonged and requires the cooperation of other majors such as periodontal, surgery, denture creation.

After attaching the jaw, the patient should absolutely follow the doctor's instructions both in terms of hygiene, eating and re-examination. In fact, there are many patients who contradict the doctor's instructions. For example, patients using removable functions are absolutely not allowed to remove them arbitrarily. But in the beginning, the patients often got entangled and difficult to eat, so many people automatically removed and installed them.

MSc. Duong instructed the patients, like I boiled a kettle of water, if it kept burning small, there would never be a kettle of boiling water, so would the orthodontic jaw. If removing the jaw incorrectly, there will be no force to adjust the teeth. There have been cases of jaw displacement or making teeth worse than before treatment.

Need to avoid misconceptions

Firstly, it is necessary to correct orthodontic addresses with specialized dental jaw specialist, avoid treatment in places where there is no specialist doctor. There are patients who do not follow the procedure to correct the tooth so the teeth fall off, have a lot of bone loss, and some people even lose the function. The more rectified the patient is, the sooner the better, even if there is no need to grow all the teeth, especially for cleft palate cases.

In addition, there are cases where it is necessary to remove teeth when adjusting to 'return space' to other teeth, but the patient insists on rejection because of fear of tooth extraction will affect health. According to MSc. Yang, this is a very normal thing, nothing to worry about.

And finally note for mothers with small children. Many people believe that deep milk teeth do not affect their later teeth. This concept is very dangerous, because everyone has two types of teeth, one type of milk teeth and one permanent tooth. Permanent teeth are under the milk teeth. Therefore, when the milk teeth are deep will affect permanent teeth. If the baby teeth are spit too soon, the permanent teeth have nothing to orientate and they will grow out of order and there are cases of tooth bone loss.

In general, to prevent teeth from growing 'disorderly', clean oral hygiene is still the deciding factor. You should check your teeth twice a year. If there are any tooth-related diseases that need immediate treatment, avoid complications. Many complications lead to deflection of teeth, very expensive treatment.
