Black Triangles, a Side Effect of Orthodontic Treatment, Resolved with Resin

I think you've probably heard of the black triangle before.
I developed black triangles, a black triangular space between my gums and teeth, which is one of the side effects of orthodontic treatment.
There were no side effects at all while I was getting braces, but I was always worried because they started after the treatment was over.
There are some things that are not aesthetically pleasing, though. The most painful thing was that there was a gap The problem is that food gets stuck in the gaps and tartar builds up quickly even after scaling. It was.
So after much thought, I decided to remove it with resin.

 

In fact, there are more side effects of orthodontic treatment than you might think.
You might develop so-called "blind spots" like mine, and since your teeth are artificially wired, your teeth and gums might become weaker. As your gums weaken, they might even go down a bit.
In rare cases, the face shape or lower body may change in a way that is not what you wanted.
However, since the side effects of orthodontic treatment vary from person to person, these symptoms do not necessarily appear.
In my case, I didn't experience any side effects from orthodontic treatment other than the blues.

 

My black triangle was right in the middle of my front teeth.

It's exactly the shape of a triangle.

 

Even on the X-ray, the gap between the teeth was visible...

 

Since a gap has formed between two teeth that are attached to each other, only the central gap needs to be filled, so the corners on both sides of the two teeth are filled with resin. are you.
I received dental treatment at the dental clinic I used to go to.

 

-After filling the gap with resin-

The procedure was over quickly and I checked right after it was over and it was really amazing.
Because it was resin, it didn't hurt at all and I didn't feel anything.

 

Even from the inside, I could see that it was completely filled.

 

Precautions after resin treatment silver!
On the day of the procedure, eat soft foods and avoid hard or sticky foods for about 24 hours.
Avoid strongly colored foods and drinks such as curry, coffee, black tea, and wine immediately after the procedure as they can cause staining.
And I heard that floss and interdental brushes should be used carefully immediately after the procedure.
Even if the treatment is completed successfully, ongoing management is important.

 

There are conflicting opinions on whether black triangles are a side effect of orthodontic treatment or a natural movement of the gums, but in my case, it was something I had never seen before, so I think it was due to orthodontic treatment.

 

Actually, I have black triangles on my lower teeth as a side effect of orthodontic treatment...

 

The photo shows my lips pressed down with my finger to make the lower teeth visible as much as possible, but the dentist said that the black triangle of the lower teeth is slightly covered by the lower lip.

I heard that the gap was worse on the upper teeth than on the lower teeth, so I only did it on the upper teeth.

I also feel a bit burdened by the price to do it on my lower teeth, so I'm thinking of starting with my upper teeth first and then observing the condition for some time before thinking about doing it on my lower teeth.

 

 

The lower teeth are slightly hidden by the lips, but the upper teeth are so visible that the black triangle used to be clearly visible in photos, but now it is not visible in photos.

 

 

When I compare them like this, I can see that the gap is huge.

The shape of my teeth is also well-shaped and I am very satisfied.

It's definitely nice that the gaps are filled with resin, so they're less noticeable, and more importantly, less food gets stuck and it's easier to use dental floss!

If there are people like me who are experiencing side effects from orthodontic treatment with black triangles, I recommend that you don't stress too much and look into resin.
