Review of resolving the black triangle side effect of orthodontics with resin

You have probably heard of the Black Triangle at least once.
I developed a black triangle, a black triangular gap between my gums and teeth, which is one of the side effects of orthodontic treatment.
I didn't experience any side effects from the braces while I was undergoing treatment, but they appeared after it was finished, so it always bothered me.
There are some things that are not aesthetically pleasing, but The biggest headache was that since there was a gap, that The problem is that food particles easily get stuck in the crevices, and tartar builds up quickly even after scaling. It was.
So, after much consideration, I decided to fill it with resin.

Actually, there are quite a few side effects from orthodontic treatment, more than you might think.
You might develop what is commonly known as 'Blunt' like I did, and since the teeth are artificially tightened with wire, the teeth and gums may weaken. As the gums weaken, their length may also recede slightly.
In rare cases, your face shape or lower face may change differently than 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 BLT.

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

It really is exactly a triangle shape.

They said the gaps between the teeth were visible even on the X-ray...

Since a gap formed between two teeth that are touching, the method involves filling only the void in the center by sealing the corners of both teeth with resin. are you.
I received treatment at the dental clinic I usually go to.

-After filling the gap with resin-

The procedure finished quickly, and I checked it right away; it looked completely natural.
Since it was resin, it didn't hurt at all and I didn't feel anything.

I confirmed that it was filled in without any gaps, even when viewed from the inside.

Precautions after resin procedure silver!
On the day of the procedure, consume soft foods, and avoid hard or sticky foods for about 24 hours.
You should avoid strongly colored foods and beverages such as curry, coffee, black tea, and wine immediately after the procedure, as they can cause discoloration.
I also heard that I should use dental floss and interdental brushes carefully immediately after the procedure.
Even if the treatment is successfully completed like this, continuous care is important.

Opinions are divided on whether black triangles are a side effect of orthodontics or a natural phenomenon of the gums shifting, but in my case, since I never had them before, they appeared, so it was definitely caused by the braces.

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

In the photo, I pulled my lip down with my finger to show as much of my lower teeth as possible, but when the dentist looked at it, he said that the black triangle on my lower teeth was slightly covered by my lower lip, and

I was told the gap was worse in the upper teeth than the lower ones, so I only had the upper teeth done for now.

I am also a bit hesitant about the cost to treat all the lower teeth, so I plan to start with the upper teeth first, observe the progress after some time, and then consider the lower teeth.

My lower teeth are slightly covered by my lips, but my upper teeth are in a very visible position, so the black triangle used to be clearly visible in photos, but now it isn't visible even in photos.

Now that I compare them like this, I realize again how huge the gap is.

The shape of the teeth was also well trimmed, and I am very satisfied.

Filling the gap with resin definitely makes it less noticeable, and best of all, less food gets stuck and flossing has become easier, which I really liked!

If you are experiencing orthodontic side effects like black triangles like I did, please don't stress too much about it, and I recommend looking into resin fillings.
