[Health Column] Partial Front Teeth Correction: Side Effects and Conditions You Must Consider Before Finishing Quickly[1]
hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. Where do your eyes go first when you meet someone, talk, or smile brightly? As a dentist meeting many people, I realize that the 'front teeth,' which are immediately visible when speaking or smiling, have the greatest impact on one's impression. If your front teeth are crooked or stick out, your mouth is likely to look protruding. This often becomes a major concern because it makes it easy to unintentionally give the impression that I am angry or sulky. Recently, as before-and-after photos of quickly correcting only the front teeth have gained popularity on social media, there has been a significant increase in the number of people seeking methods to complete treatment quickly, following the trend, instead of undergoing full orthodontic treatment. "Can't I also get just my protruding front teeth fixed quickly, instead of the full braces?" It is natural to be drawn to the low cost and short duration as you think. However, you should never take partial orthodontic treatment for the front teeth lightly. This is because an incorrect approach could worsen your appearance or lead to temporomandibular joint problems, ultimately resulting in the unfortunate setback of having to spend double the cost and time to undergo full correction again. Today, for those considering partial front tooth correction, I will clearly explain the medical criteria regarding when you can proceed with confidence and when you should absolutely avoid it! 1. What are the advantages of partial anterior correction compared to full correction? ? ✨ It drastically reduces the financial burden by cutting the time and cost to less than half compared to full correction. Full orthodontic treatment, which involves moving all the teeth, generally takes at least one year, or more than two years if tooth extraction is involved. On the other hand, because partial anterior correction focuses on moving only a few problematic teeth, 3 to 4 months at the shortest, and usually within 6 to 10 months at the longest. The treatment is completed at. Also, brackets are not attached to all teeth, but usually from canine to canine, either upper or lower Appliances only on around the 6 front teeth You will attach it. Since the number of devices attached is small, the cost is lower compared to full correction. Less than half It has the attractive advantage of being reduced to a very low economic burden. 📌 It is also full of conveniences you can experience in your daily life! The sensation of foreign objects or pain in the mouth is much less compared to full orthodontic treatment. There is no device on the molars used for chewing, so it is much more comfortable when eating. 💡 You can also choose from a variety of appliance types to suit your situation and preferences, including invisible lingual braces attached to the inside of the teeth as well as the outside, or clear aligners. 2. What are the potential side effects of getting only partial correction just because it is a trend? ✨ If the process is pushed too hard, side effects such as teeth protruding forward or tooth sensitivity may occur. . Although it appears fast and affordable on the surface, unfortunately, not all patients can achieve satisfactory results with partial anterior tooth correction. In actual clinical practice, patients undergoing partial orthodontics Less than 10% of all orthodontic patients The cases in which it can be applied are very limited to the extent that it amounts to nothing more than that. To straighten teeth, 'space' is absolutely necessary for the teeth to move safely. However, if you try to forcefully straighten the teeth using only front teeth appliances while leaving the molars as they are, there will be insufficient space. Side effect of teeth gradually moving forward (protruding) this It can happen. To prevent this, 'interdental reduction,' which involves finely grinding down the spaces between the teeth, is sometimes performed. If interproximal reduction is excessively concentrated only in the partial orthodontic area, the tooth surface becomes thin, making it difficult to eat. tooth sensitivity You must be careful, as this may appear and cause you trouble. 3. What are the criteria for success and failure of partial orthodontics based on actual treatment cases? ✨ Ignoring the limitations of the oral structure leads to lower satisfaction, but success is achieved by using the correct device following a precise diagnosis. . ❌ Disappointing failure cases In the case of one actual patient, the front teeth were severely overlapping due to a dental arch that was narrowed into a triangular (V-shape). It was recommended that the shape of the dental arch be properly widened through full correction, but At the patient's strong request, partial orthodontic treatment was performed only on the lingual side of the front teeth. I have done it. As a result, the front teeth themselves were rounded, but due to a lack of space, the teeth extended forward, disrupting the harmony with the molars and causing the canines to protrude outwards. In the end, the patient was not very satisfied and Reconsider the entire correction process. There is an unfortunate case where this happened. ⭕ Successful Treatment Cases On the other hand, for another patient who visited due to protruding front teeth, we wisely secured space for tooth movement. It slightly widens the space around the front teeth without touching any other teeth inside the mouth. Perform the 'arch expansion device' first. Partial correction was performed after that. Thanks to this, sufficient space is secured, allowing the teeth to naturally move inward without protruding. very successful results I was able to obtain. As such, a thorough preliminary diagnosis to determine whether your oral structure is truly suitable for partial orthodontics is essential above all else. 4. In what cases is partial orthodontic treatment for the front teeth recommended? ✨ It is recommended only when the amount of tooth movement or space deficiency is minimal (approximately 1–2 mm) and the molar occlusion is perfect. . From a medical perspective, there are no structural skeletal problems and only A 'slight' problem situation involving a minute lack of space of approximately 1–2 mm or requiring relocation. Partial correction is most effective in this area. 🔹 Representative types for which partial correction is recommended Slightly crooked front teeth : Cases where the degree of tooth misalignment is not severe (approximately 1–2 mm) and can be sufficiently straightened with light interproximal reduction. Slightly spaced front teeth : Cases where there is a gap of about 1mm between the incisors, or a minute gap of approximately 0.5 to 1mm between the canines and premolars that only requires closing the space. In cases where only one tooth is protruding : Cases where the overall occlusion and molar alignment are perfect, but only one front tooth is slightly protruding forward and can be gently pushed back into place. ⚠️ Conversely, in such cases, partial correction is absolutely impossible! If you have symptoms such as a protruding mouth, an underbite, an underbite where the upper and lower front teeth meet in reverse, facial asymmetry, severe crowding, a deep bite where the teeth meet too deeply, or an open bite where the teeth do not meet at all, skeletal improvement and overall occlusal adjustment are essential. In this case, the problem cannot be solved by partial correction alone, so You must proceed with full proofreading. You must do this to be safe. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Can I really finish partial orthodontic treatment for my front teeth in just 6 months? A1. Yes, it is definitely possible if it is a mild case with minimal tooth movement! As short as 3 to 4 months, usually Around 6 months Surface treatment is completed neatly. However, depending on the individual's dental condition or the need for space, it may take up to 10 months. Q2. My front teeth are getting increasingly crooked as I get older. Is partial orthodontics possible for this as well? A2. There are really many people whose front teeth become misaligned due to acquired factors as their gums weaken with age. After visiting a dental clinic for a thorough diagnosis of your gums and alveolar bone, if there are no issues with molar occlusion and the misalignment of your front teeth is minor, they can be corrected through partial orthodontics. Q3. Are lingual partial braces, which are attached to the inside, completely invisible from the outside? A3. Yes, since the device is precisely attached only to the inner surface of the teeth, unless you open your mouth very wide in daily life The orthodontic device is not visible at all from the outside. Thanks to this, satisfaction is extremely high among office workers and those who frequently interact face-to-face. conclusion ✨ Suggestions for Wise Orthodontic Treatment Partial correction of front teeth It is an excellent treatment method that can dramatically reduce time and costs while significantly brightening one's appearance, provided the medical conditions are right. However, if you approach this with the sole intention of "finishing it quickly," you may experience side effects such as teeth protruding forward or a damaged bite. Even if it appears 'slightly' misaligned to the patient, a precise diagnosis reveals that in many cases, full correction is necessary due to skeletal or spatial limitations. Therefore, if you are considering partial orthodontics, we strongly recommend that you visit at least two or three dental clinics and receive a thorough consultation from an orthodontist, rather than making a hasty decision based on the advice of just one place. Finding an accurate diagnosis and medical compromise tailored to your dental condition is the sure first step to creating a beautiful smile you will never regret.

The same worries keep piling up. Actually, there is no right answer! Depending on your lifestyle patterns and dental condition There is a separate device that fits perfectly. Today, I’m going to easily explore how to choose the perfect orthodontic appliance for you! 🌈 1. Why is the 'bracket' method still widely used for orthodontics? ✨ It is a sure and traditional method that applies 'compulsion' by attaching the device directly to the teeth. . It is a method where brackets are firmly attached to the teeth, and the teeth are moved using the force of wires and rubber bands. The biggest advantage of this method is 'predictability'. 🎯 Since the patient cannot remove it on their own, the force planned by the doctor is applied steadily for 24 hours. 🙋♂️ I recommend this to people like this! Those who say, "I don't have the confidence to keep track of the device." For those who want to see quick results with a definite 'compulsion' 💡 A word from the Director : Initially, the device may rub against the inside of your lips and feel a bit uncomfortable, but once you get used to it, it becomes your most reliable orthodontic partner! ⚠️ Food gets stuck easily, so please pay twice as much attention to brushing your teeth as usual! 2. Is the discreet 'Invisalign' really effective for correction? ? ✨ It is a smart device that captures both aesthetics and convenience by using a special transparent plastic frame. . The biggest appeal of Invisalign is, of course, its 'perfect undetectable' look! For those with a professional life or frequent important meetings, it couldn't be better. In addition, the key point is that oral hygiene management is really convenient because you can temporarily remove the device when eating or brushing your teeth. Is there anything to watch out for? ⏰ Strictly adhere to the wearing time! You must wear it for at least 20 to 22 hours a day. The 'diligence' of taking good care of your own devices determines 90% of the results! 3. The device that fits me Compare at a glance! 📊 division Bracket correction (fixed) Invisalign (removable) Is it noticeable? I can see the bracket and wire 🧐 It's barely visible ✨ What about the meal? Be careful, it can get caught in the device! Take out the device and enjoy a relaxing yum yum 🍔 Management difficulty Brushing my teeth is a little hard 🪥 Just clean the device well and you're done! 🧼 Whose will? Everything is going smoothly according to the medical team's plan! Patient sincerity is essential! 🙌 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Is Invisalign completely painless? A1. It's not entirely non-existent! 😢 However, since the force is applied more gently than with the bracket method, the pain is relatively less. You may feel a sore sensation for about 2 to 3 days after the appliance is replaced, but this is a pleasant sign that your teeth are moving nicely! Q2. Which of the two devices is more effective? A2. Rather than the performance of the device itself 'Design by an orthodontist' is much more important! With an accurate diagnosis, you can create a satisfying smile with any device. Q3. Can I clean and disinfect Invisalign with hot water? A3. Absolutely not! ⚠️ It is made of special plastic material, so it may deform in hot water. It is best to rinse with cold or lukewarm water and scrub with a soft toothbrush soaked in dish soap. conclusion ✨In the end, what matters is 'my heart' and 'expert diagnosis' Do you have a better understanding of choosing orthodontic appliances now? 🙂 Lack of willpower requiring compulsion If so? 👉 Bracket Correction!

Here, foundation work refers to the support for the tooth roots. Condition of the alveolar bone It refers to. What I check most meticulously when diagnosing patients 3 indicators It is as follows. height of the alveolar bone : Just like the soil that supports a tree, the gum bone must sufficiently cover the roots to withstand orthodontic forces. Activity of periodontal inflammation : Forcibly moving teeth while the gums are inflamed, swollen, or bleeding can be dangerous as it accelerates bone resorption. Structure of the existing prosthesis: If you already have multiple implants or bridges, careful planning that takes this into account is essential. ⚠️ If there are problems with these three indicators, I do not recommend correction, no matter how much you wish to. Because safety comes first! 2. Cases where correction is absolutely necessary vs. cases where it should be postponed for a while ? ✨ Check the 'recommendations' and 'cautions' based on your dental condition. . Enduring it unconditionally is not the answer. Depending on the situation, orthodontics is a shortcut to a healthy old age It can also be this. 📌 ✅ We recommend braces for these people!

Middle-aged Orthodontics FAQ Q1. Doesn't getting braces when you're older make your teeth weaker? ? A1. While excessive correction can be dangerous, straightening misaligned teeth actually reduces food accumulation and makes maintenance easier, so in the long run, Great help to gum health This becomes Q2. Does the correction period take much longer than for young people? ? A2. The movement speed may be slightly slow due to slow cell metabolism. However, not a complete correction Partial correction In this case, there are many instances where it ends within a few months, so don't worry too much. What matters is not speed, but 'safety'. Q3. Wouldn't it be better to just get implants instead of braces? ? A3. If you only implant a tooth when its structure has collapsed, it may result in greater costs and time later on. Correcting the foundation through orthodontics is a wise 'preparation for old age' for the era of centenarians. conclusion 'Reconstruction' of tooth structure for the 100-year lifespan era Orthodontic treatment for people in their 50s is not just a cosmetic procedure. ✨ To eat deliciously and converse happily with my teeth for the next 40+ years A thorough cleaning and restructuring of the oral structure no see.

🦷 Hello, Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Director of Smile D Dental Clinic no see. As before-and-after photos of orthodontic treatment have recently become a hot topic on social media, Adult Orthodontics Interest in it has risen higher than ever. But actually What care is required after removing the braces Many people overlook this without knowing. There are so many people who ask, "Isn't the day you take off your braces the end of it?" but actually Maintenance device management This is truly the final stage of orthodontic treatment. In today's column, I will candidly explain why dentists emphasize retainers so much, as well as clarify some common misconceptions. 1️⃣ Why do teeth try to return to their original positions after orthodontic treatment? This is because the tissues surrounding the tooth remember its 'previous position'. Many people think of teeth as stones firmly embedded in the gum bone, but in reality, they are constantly moving Living tissue no see. For about a year immediately after orthodontic treatment, the gum bone has not yet hardened, so without a 'safety belt' called a retainer, the teeth can quickly shift. Around the teeth Periodontal ligament There is a tissue called... — you can think of it as fibrous tissue that connects the teeth and the gum bone. This tissue has a good memory, so if the device is removed, the teeth The force attempting to return to the previous position This works It is a principle similar to how a rubber band returns to its original length when stretched and released. Although I applied force to move my teeth throughout the entire orthodontic period, from the moment the appliance is removed, this 'Recurrence tendency' This begins. That is why a retention device is absolutely necessary. 2️⃣ What are the types of retainers, and are they really uncomfortable? There are two types, fixed and removable, and you will adapt to them faster than you think. Most people have a negative reaction to retainers. 'Discomfort' class Wearing period It originates from. However, many people say that it is easier than expected once they actually experience it. The fixed retainer is completely invisible from the outside, and the foreign body sensation disappears after about a week, so you will eventually forget that it is even attached. Fixed retainer — This method involves attaching a thin wire to the inside of the front teeth. Since it is not visible from the outside, you do not need to worry about it at all, even during job interviews or important occasions. removable retainer — It is a removable device. You must wear it consistently for the first 6 months to a year, except during meals, but once your teeth have settled, Only when sleeping You just need to wear it. Just as you put on pajamas before going to sleep, wearing a retainer before bed is also If you just make it a habit It is not a hassle at all. It is far from the perception of being a 'lifelong shackle'. 3️⃣ What problems might arise if you neglect your retainer? Not only can your teeth become misaligned, but it can also affect the health of your gum bone. There are people who lightly dismiss it, saying, "Surely it won't get a little misaligned?" but our bodies are During the aging process, the gum bone gradually weakens. If you neglect your retainer and your teeth shift again, you will need 're-orthodontics,' which will double the cost and time. Even people who haven't had braces experience changes in their teeth alignment as they age, and if you don't wear a retainer after treatment... The speed of that change becomes much faster. The front teeth may become slightly crooked or gaps may form between the teeth. If your teeth become misaligned again, there will be parts that are difficult to brush, and gum inflammation The risk of tooth decay may also increase. 👉 A retainer keeps straightened teeth in place for a long time The most reliable and economical management method no see. How about thinking of it as 'AS insurance' that protects the results you worked so hard to correct? 4️⃣ Do I eventually have to wear a retainer for the rest of my life? Wear it for as long as possible, but the duration can be adjusted in consultation with a specialist. Many people feel burdened by the news that they have to wear a retainer for the rest of their lives. To start with the conclusion, Teeth are tissues that move throughout life. For this reason, it is ideal to wear it for as long as possible. However, since you can gradually reduce the wearing time after your teeth have stabilized for a certain period, please consult with your specialist to adjust it. At first, I wear it almost all day, but as time goes by Only when sleeping Proceed to the wearing step. In the case of a fixed retainer, there is no significant inconvenience in daily life. long-term maintenance It is possible ⚠️ One thing I would like to ask of you is that if you do not plan to wear your retainer properly You should carefully consider the orthodontic treatment itself. It is. It might sound a bit strong, but your precious time and money This is sincere advice to protect it. 🙋 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q. What should I do if the retainer falls off or breaks? A. You need to visit a dentist as soon as possible. Because teeth can move slightly even when the device is removed, Prompt action is the best way to prevent recalibration. no see. Q. How do I clean a removable retainer? A. Use a dedicated cleaner, or Gently brush with a toothbrush under running cold water You can wipe it clean. Please be sure to avoid hot water, as it may deform the device. Q. My gums are swollen or bleeding. Could this be related to the retainer? A. Although it is rare for the retainer itself to cause gum inflammation, around the fixed appliance If tartar builds up, it can affect gum health. Regular scaling and thorough brushing habits are important, and if gum swelling or bleeding recurs, we recommend getting a checkup at a dental clinic. Wrapping up Orthodontic treatment does not end on the day the appliance is removed. The process of maintaining the results through a maintenance device Up to this point is the true completion. When choosing a hospital, rather than comparing only costs, Whether the follow-up care program is systematic Please make sure to check if regular checkups are thoroughly taken care of. If you want to maintain the straight teeth you worked so hard to achieve for 10 or 20 years from now, why not get familiar with your retainer starting today?

hello. Director Jae-wook Jeong of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. Patients who have started orthodontic treatment "Director, I think I've lost some weight since getting braces!" He often says that. This is because wearing braces actually drastically changes eating habits and food choices. Today, many people are curious about The Real Correlation Between Orthodontics and Dieting I will give you a clear and concise explanation about that! 1. Why do I lose weight during orthodontic treatment? ? 👋 The answer lies in 'changes in eating habits' and 'more diligent brushing habits'. Small meals caused by discomfort When you first wear the device, you will experience temporary discomfort when chewing, so you will look for soft foods such as porridge, tofu, and eggs. As you cut your food into small pieces and eat slowly, your portion size naturally decreases. Gluttony won over laziness Since brushing your teeth after meals is essential during orthodontic treatment, many people refrain from eating unnecessary snacks or junk food due to the inconvenience. 📌 A word from the Director! As these changes overlap, temporary weight loss may occur initially. 2. Conversely, are there cases where weight increases? ? 👋 Yes, if you mainly eat soft, high-calorie foods, you can actually gain weight. . The Trap of Softness If you look for foods that are easy to chew, there is a risk that you will frequently consume soft but high-calorie foods such as ice cream, bread, cake, and noodles. The Temptation of Liquid Sugars If you fill up on sugary drinks instead of meals because you find chewing bothersome, it actually leads to weight gain. Ultimately, weight change is determined by 'what kind of eating habits you adopt' rather than the corrective device itself. 3. How should I manage a healthy diet during orthodontic treatment? ? 👋 As this is a long-term battle that takes an average of over a year, balanced nutrition is key. . ✅ Avoid these foods. You should be careful as foods that are too hard or sticky can damage the device. ✅ Balanced nutrients Please make sure to eat a balanced diet of healthy foods such as protein, vegetables, and fruits. ✅ Caution regarding liquid sugars It is recommended to reduce the consumption of sugary drinks. ✅ Cleanliness is essential Please make sure to maintain thorough oral hygiene after meals. ❓ FAQ Q1. How long does it take to eat properly after starting braces? ? A1. Usually after installing the device About 3 to 5 days You may experience some pressure or discomfort, but please do not worry too much, as you will adapt quickly and be able to resume normal meals! Q2. Will I gain weight again after the braces are finished? ? A2. Correction itself is not a treatment for weight control. If you fail to maintain the healthy eating habits you established during treatment, your weight may change again. Q3. I've completely lost my appetite. Is this normal? ? A3. Yes, it is very normal! During the initial adaptation period, chewing may be uncomfortable, so your appetite may temporarily decrease, but it will naturally recover over time. 📝 conclusion Remember the real purpose of orthodontic treatment! While weight loss is possible due to changes in diet during orthodontic treatment, this You should not think of it as a means of dieting. The purpose of correction is Proper occlusion formation, restoration of oral function, long-term dental health It is located at. Therefore, it is important to guide changes in dietary habits during correction in a healthy direction.

hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. Among those considering orthodontic treatment Do I really need to get braces? , Is it okay to start now? There are many cases where people hesitate. There are visible concerns like crooked teeth or a protruding mouth, but In reality Oral health Ina Everyday inconveniences Therefore, there are quite a few cases where correction is necessary. In this column Orthodontics 4 Representative Recommended Cases Centered on, I will explain step-by-step what discomfort may arise and what changes can be expected through correction. 1. If you are concerned about a protruding mouth If your lips do not close comfortably and your mouth appears to protrude, you may consider correcting your protruding mouth. One of the main reasons many people hesitate to get braces is precisely this. protruding mouth no see. Protruding teeth can be caused by genetic factors, or by teeth moving forward due to habits such as thumb sucking during childhood. In this case, the lips do not close naturally You may unconsciously tense the area around your mouth, causing wrinkles to form on your chin or making your expression look somewhat blunt. If you move the teeth to the proper position through orthodontics Your lips close more comfortably, and your overall facial appearance may look more natural and refined. For example, if you are always self-conscious about your mouth shape when taking photos, If you feel uncomfortable keeping your mouth closed even when you are still, it may be worth getting it checked. 🔸 Reference Points On the surface, it may seem like a simple concern about "looking like your mouth is sticking out," but It is recommended to confirm the actual condition through a consultation, as the alignment of the teeth and the position of the lips must be considered together. 2. Cases where teeth are uneven or there is severe crowding. Malocclusion or crowded teeth can not only cause issues with appearance but also create blind spots during brushing, which can affect oral health. uneven tooth alignment malocclusion Ina snaggletooth Is It is easy to think of it as merely a superficial issue, but in reality, correction is often recommended for health reasons. If your teeth overlap, even if you brush hard It is easy for areas to form that the toothbrush cannot reach well. Such blind spots ultimately tooth decay me gum disease You can increase the possibility. If you straighten your teeth through orthodontic treatment It makes oral hygiene management much easier and can help keep your own teeth healthy for longer. for example, If you repeatedly feel that a specific area is always uncomfortable or that dental floss doesn't go in easily even after brushing your teeth It might not be a simple habit problem, but an arrangement problem. 🔸 Reference Points A good-looking layout is important, but, It is more important to also consider whether the structure makes it easy to clean the spaces between the teeth. 3. In the case of an open bite where the front teeth do not touch If your front teeth do not touch even when you close your mouth, the functional discomfort may feel greater than the appearance. A state where a gap forms between the upper and lower front teeth, preventing them from touching each other, even when the mouth is tightly closed. open bite It is called. In this case, it is not just a visible issue; the inconvenience felt in daily life is quite significant. For example, it is difficult to bite off noodle dishes like cold noodles or spaghetti with your front teeth, and it may feel like your pronunciation is slurred. Restoring the bite of your front teeth through orthodontics can help you regain the ability to bite and chew food, and it can also help improve pronunciation. 🔸 Reference Points Rather than simply dismissing it by thinking, "My front teeth just don't quite touch," if you experience recurring discomfort during eating or pronunciation, it is advisable to have it checked from a functional perspective. 4. In cases of facial asymmetry where the facial center is misaligned If your facial midline is misaligned or appears crooked to one side, orthodontic treatment can be helpful. The facial midline does not align, or It looks twisted to one side Facial asymmetry It can also be a candidate for orthodontic treatment. Of course, in cases where the disharmony of the skeleton itself is very severe Surgery may be necessary. However, in many cases, orthodontic treatment alone can alleviate the degree of asymmetry and yield satisfactory results. If your mouth or jaw looks crooked to one side when you look in the mirror, If the center of your face always feels awkward in photos, you might want to check it at least once. 🔸 Reference Points Rather than viewing asymmetry simply as “is it because only one side is used more?”, An approach that examines the bite and the facial midline together is necessary. FAQ Q1. How long does orthodontic treatment take? A1. It depends on the condition, but for a short period 4~6 months , usually One and a half to two years or more It takes time. In order to move teeth healthily Weak and persistent power This is because it is necessary. Q2. If I get braces for a protruding mouth, can my mouth look too deeply recessed? A2.

정재욱 원장26.03.09Views 411Likes 4 [Health Column] "Do I really need to pull a healthy tooth?" The biggest concern before braces, solved![10]
hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. The biggest reason why it is difficult to knock on the door of the dentist even after deciding to get braces is probably Fear of 'extraction' That's probably why. "Is it really okay to pull out my precious teeth?" This worry is a natural thought that anyone considering braces would have had at least once. In today's column, instead of unconditionally forcing extraction, Why extractions are necessary and what non-extraction methods are available instead I will explain in detail what it is. 1. What is the difference between extraction and non-extraction orthodontics? ? 👋 The key is how to create the 'space' for the teeth to move. . Extraction correction: This is a method of extracting a tooth and using the empty space to move the remaining teeth in an orderly manner. Non-extraction orthodontics: This is a method of creating the necessary space without extracting teeth, using various devices and techniques. 📌 A word from the director! Choosing unconditionally is not the answer. First, we need to consider how much 'free space' there is in our mouths to properly align our teeth. 2. In what situations is extraction absolutely necessary? ? 👋 For healthy rearrangement of teeth When 'space' is absolutely lacking Decide carefully. ✅ Lack of space for teeth rearrangement: This is a case where the space for the teeth to fit is too narrow, resulting in severe crowding. ✅ Requires posterior movement of the anterior segment: When the front teeth need to be moved back a lot to improve protrusion, extraction space is needed. ✅ Specific dental problems: This is the case when there is impacted tooth, severe malocclusion, or tooth that has already reached the end of its lifespan and is difficult to save. 3. Why do you have to extract the ‘premolars’? 👋 It is a strategic choice to preserve the original function of the teeth as much as possible. . Each of our teeth has its own role. The large molars that have a chewing function, the front teeth that affect the impression, and the canines that support the gum bone are very important. Therefore, the 'small molars (premolars)' are mainly extracted to minimize functional loss. Of course, if there are other teeth that are already in poor condition, those teeth may be extracted first to increase efficiency. 4. In what cases is non-surgical correction possible? 👋 Recommended for cases where the tooth arrangement is relatively gentle or skeletal expansion is possible. ✔️ I recommend non-surgical correction to these people! When the teeth are not overlapping or crooked to a severe degree When the degree of lip protrusion is minor and there is no need to insert a lot of front teeth When the arch (dental bone) is narrow and space can be secured by widening the bone When there is already a gap between the teeth and all that is needed is to fill the space 🛠️ Main methods of non-extraction orthodontics: Expansion of the Palace: Expand the width of the jawbone to create space. Interdental removal: Create a gap by finely trimming it within a range that does not cause damage to the teeth. Rear towing: Using a mini screw or similar, the entire molar is pushed back to create space. ❓ FAQ Q1. I'm worried that my mouth will look too swollen after getting braces. A1. This is the most common misconception! An experienced specialist can predict changes in facial shape in advance and precisely adjust the amount of movement, thereby preventing excessive sagging and creating a harmonious facial appearance. Q2. Isn't non-extraction orthodontic treatment that doesn't involve extraction of natural teeth always better? A2. It is good to keep your teeth, but if you insist on extraction when there is absolutely not enough space, you may have the side effect of your teeth becoming stretched out or your protruding teeth not being improved. 'Suitability' is more important than 'unconditionality' . Q3. Does extraction orthodontic treatment take much longer? A3. Because the teeth have to move farther, it may take a little longer than non-extraction. However, if the goal is to improve protrusion or correct malocclusion, extraction will provide more effective results. 📝 conclusion Neither extraction nor non-extraction is absolutely correct. 🦷 This is because each person's jawbone size, tooth density, and degree of protrusion are all different. The important thing is through precise analysis The least damaging method for my oral structure is to find. Rather than simply promising, "You don't have to vote unconditionally," A place where orthodontic specialists directly analyze and provide honest advice Start carefully.

hello, Smile Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. If you are considering orthodontic treatment, you may have thought this at least once. “Should we lay the railroad?”, “Is expensive always better?” There are many types of devices, but explaining them is difficult, and the cost differences are even more confusing. We've selected only the most confusing points for those considering braces. , Let's organize it so that you can reduce unnecessary choices. 1. Which orthodontic devices should I avoid? ✨There are devices that may seem cheap, but can be a burden in the long run. Many people choose it because of the cost, but There are also devices that may increase discomfort during the treatment process. ⚠️ ✔️ Resin bracket At first, it is less noticeable because it is similar to the color of the teeth. Curry, coffee, etc. Discolors easily It can be Because the strength is weak, there is a possibility of the device wearing out or falling off. Treatment may take longer ✔️ General ligation bracket It is a method of tying wires with thin wires. The end of the wire pokes into my mouth It can cause injury High friction can slow down tooth movement → “If you choose based solely on the initial cost, the treatment process may become more difficult.” 2. Which is most important: cost, aesthetics, or speed? ✨Corrective devices vary depending on ‘my priorities’. Not every device is a good choice for everyone. I need to start by organizing the criteria I consider most important. 🔍 ✔️ If cost-effectiveness and performance are important to you? metal bracket A relatively inexpensive yet robust method You should take into account the obvious appearance ✔️ Want a treatment that doesn't leave any marks? Invisalign or Lingual correction Invisalign: Removable, Aesthetic Lingual braces: invisible, but cost and adaptation period must be considered. ✔️ Want quick treatment and less pain? Self-ligating brackets (Clippy, etc.) There is less friction, so teeth move relatively quickly. Less pain and fewer visits This is the preferred method for busy office workers. 3. What are the criteria for selecting a dental clinic that affect the outcome of orthodontic treatment? ✨What’s more important than the device is ‘who is providing the treatment.’ Even if it's the same device Your experience may vary depending on where and how you receive treatment. 🔸 Be sure to check during consultation At the dental clinic What device do you use the most? self-ligating device Whether to use When the device falls off Whether additional costs will be incurred 📌 Questions like these It serves as a criterion for assessing how much consideration is given to treatment efficiency and patient convenience. FAQ Q1. Do self-ligating brackets really shorten the treatment period? A1. Because there is less friction compared to general devices, in some cases the treatment period may be shortened. Q2. Can anyone get Invisalign? A2. While most are possible, bracket orthodontics may be more appropriate depending on the condition of your teeth. Adherence to the wear time is important. Q3. Are metal brackets cheaper because they are less effective? A3. No. While performance and precision are excellent, aesthetics may dictate preference. conclusion Orthodontic treatment is a process that can last from as little as one year to as long as two years or more. Rather than deciding based solely on price or surrounding reviews, It is important to choose the right one for your lifestyle and oral health. ✨ Rather than rushing blindly It is important to establish a treatment plan through sufficient consultation.

No. Since canines have long roots and are important teeth that affect one's impression, they are usually Functionally replaceable premolars Create space by extracting . Q2. Will my face shape change a lot if I have my teeth extracted? A2. Whether or not to extract Degree of lip protrusion and bone condition Analyze and decide. If the mouth does not come out much, Direction to minimize changes in appearance It is important to have sufficient consultation with a specialist to plan accordingly. Q3.

Today, the teeth are White Spot What is this, We'll explain everything from why it occurs to how to manage and treat it. 1. Why do white spots appear? ✨This is a ‘demineralization phenomenon’ that occurs when calcium is lost from the surface of the teeth. White spots are not caused by tooth decay, Demineralization, a phenomenon in which calcium is lost from the tooth surface It is created as follows. 📌 There are two main causes! 🔸 congenital factors When calcium is not evenly deposited during tooth formation If some parts are partially decalcified due to a specific influence 🔸 Acquired factors (poor oral care) Food and dental plaque around braces are not cleaned properly, allowing bacteria to create acid. The acid erodes the teeth and leaves spots. ✔️ Important points White spots themselves rarely cause pain, In many cases, it is not a serious condition that progresses directly to cavities. 2. Can I relieve it at home? ✨Complete removal is difficult, but it can be blurred by managing ‘nutrient supply’. White spot It's difficult to erase it dramatically at home. However, through consistent management Mildly relieved It could be possible. 📌 A typical home care method — using 'Tooth Mousse' 🔸 How to use After brushing your teeth, apply to white spots using your fingers or other tools.

FAQ Q1. Are white spots also cavities? A1. Broadly speaking, it can be seen as a trace of early caries. However, since there are many cases where there is no pain and the progression has stopped, it may not necessarily be a condition that requires treatment. Q2. Will it disappear naturally over time?

hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. There is a concern I hear most often before getting orthodontic treatment. “They say that if you get braces, the wrinkles on your nasolabial folds will get deeper…” “I saw a review saying that my cheeks looked thinner and more slender.” I really understand these concerns. But in reality Wrinkles on the nasolabial folds = Not due to correction, but a problem of 'relative change and habit' This is much more common. today The relationship between correction and nasolabial folds , and In what cases can wrinkles appear deeper? I'll explain it to you easily. 1. Does orthodontic treatment really cause wrinkles on the forehead? 👋 Nasolabial folds are often visible due to 'changes in relative depth' rather than 'movement of teeth'. If you correct it, your mouth will go back. At this time, the starting point of the wrinkles on the forehead also moves backwards. Most of the time, the direction in which the wrinkles appear shallower It changes into . But why do I feel like my wrinkles have gotten deeper? ✔ Let me explain it easily with an example The cheeks are the same, but the mouth is sunken inward. Let me think about it. → Then, the ‘valley’ between the ball and the mouth may appear relatively prominent. That is, not “sagging” Existing wrinkles appear more prominent It's just one day. When you feel like wrinkles have suddenly appeared on your arms, Not just “creating wrinkles” Check if it is due to relative volume change I'd like to try it. 2. Why do changes in the nasolabial folds occur during correction? 👋 Lifestyle habits, muscle changes, and treatment design are the main causes. 🔸 1) Bad lip habits To hide the braces If you keep pursing your lips, muscle use increases → wrinkles become stronger. It can lead to. 🔸 2) Excessive treatment plan If you push your teeth back too far, → Okni and Hapjuki mouth As it becomes more sagging, it can actually look like sagging. This is the part that the director emphasized. Whether or not a precise diagnosis is possible based on experience is very important. 🔸 3) Reduction in masticatory muscles During braces treatment, you will be asked to avoid hard foods. → As the chewing muscles decrease Your cheeks may appear sagging and the area under your cheekbones may appear hollow. → As a result, the wrinkles on your arms may appear stronger. As long as the food is not too hard A balanced diet that naturally uses the muscles around the mouth It helps. 3. How should I plan my correction to reduce the worry about wrinkles on my forehead? 👋 We need to look at the entire facial bone structure, not just the arrangement of the teeth. 🔹 [Expert Diagnosis] Full facial analysis is key Cheek fat amount Skin elasticity The ratio of the head to the lower body Front teeth angle Upper and lower jaw balance All of these elements must be reviewed and corrected. A facial line where the nasolabial folds are not prominent can make. 🔹 [Treatment Process] Speed control is very important If you push your teeth back too quickly, → Wrinkles may appear deeper because the skin and soft tissues cannot adapt. The impatience of “I want to finish it quickly!” can actually accentuate wrinkles. 🔹 [Lifestyle] Skin Care + Facial Muscle Maintenance 💧 Drink enough water 🌞 Sunscreen is essential 🙂 facial muscle exercises : Put air in the ball and hold for 10 seconds Practice opening the corners of your mouth wide This is basic care that anyone can do without side effects. 4. How do nasolabial folds change during and after correction? 👋 Most cases recover naturally within 6 months after the end of orthodontic treatment. ✔ After removing the braces Chewing muscle recovery Restoring cheek volume soft tissue stabilization After going through this process Most wrinkles that appeared deep during correction will return to their previous state. 5. Is it possible to have dermatological procedures performed concurrently during orthodontic treatment? 👋 It is possible, but 'timing' is important. Because the lip, chin, and cheekbone lines continue to change during correction, After the outline is somewhat established (finishing stage ~ after correction is completed) I recommend this procedure. ❓ FAQ Q1. Will the deepened nasolabial folds return after correction? A1. Yes, mostly Recover naturally It will work. Changes caused by the thickness of the braces and the reduction of masticatory muscles stabilize within about 6 months after the device is removed through diet and muscle recovery. Q2. If I get orthodontic treatment, will I always have a 'happocket'? A2. No. The mouth of the bamboo is When teeth are pushed back too far As a side effect, By accurately calculating the amount of movement through a precise diagnosis, even if teeth are extracted, they can be corrected to create a natural and sophisticated line. Q3. Is orthodontic treatment for people in their 40s and 50s more dangerous due to loss of elasticity? A3. It is true that skin elasticity is low, Speed control and non-extraction priority design It is possible to do so safely enough. 📝 conclusion Orthodontic treatment Create wrinkles on the forehead is a common misconception. rather In many cases, it improves as the balance between the chin and mouth improves. The key is ✔ Precision diagnosis , ✔ Speed control , ✔ A plan that takes into account the entire facial structure no see. Rather than delaying correction due to vague fears, Consult a specialist A plan that reflects my face shape, skin elasticity, and even the condition of my masticatory muscles. Try setting it up. It will lead to slightly healthier and more natural changes.

hello, Smile Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. The crooked front teeth that catch my eye every time I look in the mirror, the teeth that bother me every time I take a picture… These days, I have these concerns 'Can't I just fix my front teeth quickly?' There are so many people asking questions. Especially on SNS Partial front teeth correction As before and after photos spread, Short period of time and economical cost There are also more and more people who make decisions based on just what they see. However, if you start simply believing that it will “finish quickly,” you may end up experiencing a change in your impression or discomfort. So today For whom is partial front teeth correction effective and what should be considered? Let me explain clearly from a professional perspective. . 1. Why do my front teeth become more and more misaligned? ✨For the arrangement of front teeth Congenital factors + changes in gum condition can influence each other. As we age, many people notice that their front teeth are gradually becoming misaligned. There are two main reasons for this. 🔸 congenital factors When the size of the teeth and the size of the jaw do not match If the jaw is narrow and the teeth are large → the teeth overlap and are arranged Conversely, if the jaw is large and the teeth are small → gaps between the teeth 🔸 acquired factors As the gums weaken, their ability to support the teeth decreases. Accordingly, the teeth can move slightly and deform. ✔️ So, it is actually quite common to simply say, “It was a good fit originally, but it suddenly seems to be wrong.” 2. What are the advantages of partial front teeth correction? ✨ The biggest appeal of partial front teeth correction is that it focuses on correcting only the necessary areas! Partial correction of front teeth is literally The problem is A method of attaching orthodontic devices to only 6 to 8 front teeth no see. ✔️ The treatment period is short Although full correction often takes 1-2 years or more, Partial correction can be completed in a relatively short period of time. ✔️ It's less expensive Fewer teeth to attach the device to Economical compared to full correction ✔️ There are few inconveniences in life. There is no device on the molars, so eating is less of a burden. The device has relatively little foreign body sensation or pain. 3. Is partial front teeth correction really a treatment that 'everyone' can do? ✨The most important point in partial front teeth correction is “securing space.” Partial correction of the front teeth is a treatment that is difficult to say is 'unconditionally possible'. no see. The biggest variable is Space securing problem no see. ⚠️ Please remember this! To align teeth, they need 'space' to move. If only the front teeth are corrected without moving the molars → Protrusion may occur, causing the teeth to appear to extend forward. To compensate for this, very fine grinding is done between the teeth. 'Interdental deletion' There are cases where it is in progress, If excessive, discomfort such as tooth numbness may occur. This can happen. ✔️ So rather than just starting by hearing “it’s easy” or “you can definitely do it”, Consultation with a specialist and precise diagnosis first no see. 4. I recommend partial front teeth correction to these people! From a professional perspective, partial anterior orthodontic treatment is particularly helpful in the following cases: If your teeth are slightly crooked If there is a very small gap between the front teeth If the entire dentition is fine, but only one specific tooth is protruding ✔️ That is, If the problem is localized and centered around the front teeth It could be a good choice. FAQ Q1. Can protruding teeth or a protruding chin be corrected with partial correction? A1. If there is a skeletal problem or a complete occlusion adjustment is required. It may be difficult to resolve this with just partial correction. It is recommended that you consult a dentist to get an accurate diagnosis. Q2. Is it possible to correct partial front teeth with transparent braces? A2. It is possible. However, in some cases, bracket correction may be more effective, so a thorough diagnosis is necessary. Q3. What happens if I don't like the results after partial correction? A3. If there is not enough space A situation that requires a full correction again This may happen. So your first choice is very important. Conclusion - The most important thing is to check if it is “right for me”. Partial correction of the front teeth is definitely necessary Attractive treatment in terms of time, cost, and inconvenience no see. But in actual treatment When full correction is more appropriate There are quite a few. ✔️ It's good to prepare like this before treatment Get consultations from at least 2-3 dental clinics Check with a specialist to see if treatment is right for your situation. Understand not only the expected effects but also the 'things to watch out for' As a result, Getting started by knowing what works best for your dental condition this It's the fastest and safest shortcut.

Facial asymmetry ? " This kind of worry , You've probably tried it at least once . In fact, many people come for orthodontic consultation. Is the misalignment of the tooth centerlines a simple alignment problem? , or not facial structure ( chin · bone ) Is it a problem? It's difficult to decide on your own, so visit a dentist. . today ✔️ Why do the center lines of teeth shift? , ✔️ How is it related to facial asymmetry? , ✔️ What is the standard for judging treatment? I'll let you know soon . 1. Why do the center lines of teeth shift? ? The main reason why the center line of the teeth is not aligned with the center of the face is Two things It is organized as . 🔸 Dental causes ( teeth · gum problems ) When the left and right teeth are different sizes When there is an imbalance in the arrangement of teeth due to overbite on only one side When teeth are pushed to one side due to tooth loss Like this Asymmetry of tooth arrangement This can cause a shift in the center line. . 🔸 Facial structural causes ( chin · nasal bone problems ) Asymmetry of the jawbone itself Deviated septum ( A condition in which the nasal bone dividing the nostrils is crooked ) If it is a structural cause, if necessary ENT · plastic surgery We also see patients together . But the important point is ! If there is an accompanying dental occlusion problem, Improvement is possible with just correction. There are many cases . 2. tooth Oh, is it important to align the center line? ? Is facial balance more important? ? 👉 Both are important, but ' Purpose and Standards ' This is different . This is one of the questions I get asked a lot. . “ Is the centerline of the teeth important? , Is facial symmetry important? ? " ✔️ Harmony between the center of the face and the center line of the upper teeth First, check whether the center line of the face and the center line of the upper teeth naturally align when you smile. This criterion is important when evaluating ‘aesthetics (natural smile)’. ✔️ Alignment of the center lines of the upper and lower teeth Next, How closely do the center lines of the upper and lower teeth match? I see. But the important point here is, It doesn't have to be perfectly 0mm! The molar occlusion is stable Center line difference within 1mm ramen There may be no need to force the teeth to move. Also, according to the standards of the Korean Orthodontic Association, Center line misalignment within 1.5 mm on both sides Is Normal dental range Also considered as . in other words , Correct occlusion + aesthetic harmony , The direction of correction is determined by considering the two criteria in a balanced manner. . If you have any aesthetic criteria you want , Depending on the individual's condition, treatment may be chosen to further align the center line. . FAQ Q1. Does a misaligned centerline of teeth mean facial asymmetry? ? A1. No, it's not . The center line can be misaligned just from teeth alignment issues. . Structural causes such as jawbones must be distinguished through diagnosis. . Q2. Do I have to align the center line exactly to make it look pretty? ? A2. Aesthetically, the more naturally the center lines align, the more harmonious it is. , Functionally, 1mm My difference Sometimes ramen isn't a big problem . Q3. If there is a structural problem, do I necessarily need surgery? ? A3. Even if there is a structural cause There are many cases that can be improved with just correction. . After an accurate diagnosis, we determine whether or not to use it concurrently. . conclusion Although tooth centerline misalignment may seem like a simple aesthetic problem, In reality stability of occlusion , Harmony of the entire face , Functional comfort These must be considered together. The extent to which the center line is misaligned Functionally problem-free range It could be, on the other way When occlusal imbalance affects the balance of the face There is also. So rather than judging on your own, It is very important to determine the exact cause through professional diagnosis. Orthodontic treatment is a method that can improve three things at once: facial balance + teeth alignment + functional comfort. Accurate diagnosis + customized treatment plan Once it is established, It will greatly help you regain a more natural, harmonious smile and stable facial lines. ✨ Ceramic Dentistry Director Kim Hyeon-sun Graduated from Seoul National University College of Dentistry Catholic University College of Medicine, Department of Orthodontics, Visiting Professor Orthodontic specialist (Ministry of Health and Welfare) Orthodontics and Accreditation (Korean Orthodontic Association) World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO) Fellowship Associate Professor of Outpatient Clinic, CHA University Hospital Director of Hyun Ceramic Dental Clinic Source: This column was written with reference to the guidelines of the Korean Orthodontic Association.

You must first check the overall diagnosis (occlusion, angle, root direction, asymmetry). 2. Is partial orthodontics really a simple treatment? ▶ If even one tooth moves, the whole set is affected! Partial orthodontics may seem like "just move the misaligned teeth slightly and you're done!" In actual medical practice A much more complex and precise plan This is necessary. My front teeth look a little crooked, so I want to get partial braces. Upon examination, there was a full protrusion, and there was a risk of it sticking out further. I think we just need to change the location a little... → If the occlusion is altered, the shape of the mouth may change. Teeth are connected to each other Because it exists Even if you move just one Total occlusion, root direction, tooth angle, gum health It affects up to. Therefore, even small changes during treatment must be carefully checked, and If a movement different from expectations occurs Situations also arise where the plan needs to be revised. You can do it. 3. Why do side effects occur after partial orthodontics? ▶ Lack of accurate diagnosis or failure to manage the treatment process is the main cause. Typical side effects after partial correction It is as follows. 🔸 My front teeth are straight, but The feeling that the entire bite is misaligned 🔸 Teeth appear to protrude further forward or Changes in mouth shape and facial lines 🔸 Between teeth A gap (space) is created Most of these problems Before treatment Occlusion, Asymmetry, Angle, Root Direction If you did not check the back sufficiently or In accordance with changes during treatment When the plan could not be finely adjusted It occurs. Especially if there is a height difference in the teeth around the front teeth, or When the direction of movement changes from the plan Cases where you need to switch to full correction There actually are. Especially with partial orthodontics, abandon the idea that "it is simple because it only involves a little movement." on the other way Treatment requiring a more precise plan Please keep in mind that. FAQ 💬 Q1. What criteria should I use to choose between partial and full correction? A1. It cannot be determined based solely on the visible alignment of the front teeth. Occlusion, asymmetry, presence of protrusion, root direction You need to check the back If the specific conditions are met, partial correction is possible; otherwise, full correction is a more stable choice. Q2. Is the treatment period shorter for partial orthodontics? A2. That is correct. If you meet the criteria, improvement can be achieved relatively quickly. but Diagnosis, planning, and progress checks should actually be even more thorough. The point is the same. Q3. Can the shape of the mouth become unnatural if only the front teeth are corrected? A3. It is possible. If you do not consider the overall occlusion and harmony This is because it can result in the front teeth protruding further or the face looking different. Conclusion ✨ Partial correction is It is not an easy and simple treatment, but a high-difficulty treatment suitable only for those who meet precise criteria. no see. However, for those who meet the conditions well, you can expect fast and efficient results. ✔ Don't make a decision based only on the visible arrangement. ✔ Check if the treatment is right for me through a comprehensive diagnosis ✔ Establishing a plan after consulting thoroughly with a specialist These three things are more important than anything else.

Cases where correction is possible without surgery Even if it's a spatula chin If the imbalance of the jawbone itself is not severe, , Improvement is possible with orthodontic treatment alone. ✔️Teaching If it can be improved with sincerity Crossbite Teeth alignment problems If it comes from of the chin If the difference before and after is minor During the growth period (adolescence) Period when growth control is possible ✔️Examples of treatment methods Miniscrew (fixed) It is used to move the lower teeth backward and guide the upper and lower teeth into a normal occlusion. The key is Teeth arrangement + jaw position + facial proportions Considering them together. It is different from orthodontic treatment that simply straightens teeth. 4. So in what cases is surgery necessary? In the following cases: Surgery + orthodontic treatment This may be necessary. The lower jaw Protruding significantly forward If it is done facial asymmetry If accompanied by this When there is a large difference in the growth of the upper, lower, left, and right jawbones in other words, Whether or not surgery is necessary depends on the structural differences in the jawbone. is decided by. 5. A prognathism can lead to functional problems. A prognathism is not simply a cosmetic issue. ✔️Possible issues Difficulty chewing food (decreased masticatory function) Inaccurate pronunciation (especially pronunciation of ㅅ and ㅆ) Temporomandibular joint discomfort/headache Unconscious deterioration of oral habits thus It is recommended to begin diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. 6. Conclusion The prognathism is Surgery, no matter what! Not this, It is important to choose a treatment that is appropriate for the cause, severity, and age.

Kim Hyun-soon ledger hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. Today, we will discuss the topic that most people who are about to undergo orthodontic treatment are curious about: 'Corrective pain' Let's talk about it. Orthodontic treatment is a long journey to a beautiful smile, Many people worry about the pain they experience when they first start. When you actually start orthodontic treatment, you may feel pain in your teeth or discomfort when chewing. But this pain is actually, A positive sign that your body is adapting to the correction. This is also true. From now on, the reasons why orthodontic pain occurs and how to relieve it, And we will look at the difference in pain depending on the correction method. 1. Why does orthodontic pain occur? “Why does it hurt when I just move my teeth slightly?” I'm sure everyone has asked themselves this question at least once. The reason is that between the teeth and gums Periodontal ligament Because. This tissue moves when teeth move. Buffer role It is a very important structure that does this. There is a fine Nerves and blood vessels Because they are densely distributed, they react sensitively to external stimuli. When braces push teeth in one direction As the periodontal ligament is compressed, blood flow is reduced, In this process Prostaglandin A substance called is secreted. This substance stimulates the nerves and causes pain. commonly 1~4 hours Appear inside 2~3 days It persists and then gradually disappears. That is, the pain felt in the early stages of correction Evidence that teeth are actually starting to move Yes. 2. Differences in pain depending on the correction method There are several different methods of orthodontic treatment depending on the individual's oral condition and treatment goals. Depending on the method Pain pattern It may be slightly different, Representatively, it is often compared to Three types Let's take a look. ✔️Non-extraction vs. extraction orthodontics It is easy to think that extraction will hurt more, In reality, there is not much difference in pain between the two methods. The degree of pain is more important than whether or not the tooth is extracted. Direction and intensity of force applied to teeth Because it depends. in other words, Non-extraction orthodontics However, if there is a lot of movement, it can actually be more painful. ✔️Ceramic braces vs. Clippy C braces Clippy C correction It is a device that uses a self-ligating method without a rubber ring, and has the advantage of low friction. Ceramic braces You may feel a little less pain, but There really isn't much difference. Since the principle of moving teeth is the same in both methods, it is more important to consider the type of device. Control of tooth movement and orthodontic force This has a greater impact on the pain. ✔️Lacrimal vs. Lingual Correction Orthodontics The outside of the teeth, Lingual correction is a method of attaching a device to the inside. Lingual correction The gap between the brackets is short and the tongue can easily touch the device. Pain at first And the discomfort may be felt more greatly. the other side Orthodontics is relatively quick to adapt, but is susceptible to external stimuli. gum pain This may be accompanied by: 3. How to relieve pain Although correction is difficult to do completely pain-free, Lifestyle habits Even with just a little adjustment, you can adapt much more easily. 1️⃣ Lower the temperature in your mouth Lowering the temperature of the mouth with cold water, ice, or ice cream can dull the nerve response and relieve pain. However, if you use a cold compress for too long, your gums may become irritated. Limited to 10 to 15 minutes Please do it. 2️⃣ Gentle vibration cycle to the teeth You can relieve pressure on your teeth by gently chewing sugarless gum or using a dental vibrator. 3️⃣Take painkillers If necessary Tylenol You can take the same over-the-counter pain reliever to help reduce the pain. step, Anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and aspirin It is best to avoid them as they can slow down tooth movement. 4️⃣ Eat soft foods In the early stages of orthodontic treatment, chewing stimulation can worsen the pain. Porridge, soup, steamed eggs, tofu We recommend a soft diet. 5️⃣ Get enough sleep and rest Correction is a process in which subtle tissue changes occur. lack of sleep Ina stress may slow down the recovery from pain. 4. The process of adaptation is more important than pain. Orthodontics is not a short-term treatment. Because the body is in the process of finding a new balance It may feel strange and uncomfortable at first, but most of the pain will go away within a week or so. “It hurts” is a sign that the correction is progressing well. If you can get through that time, a more even and beautiful smile will surely await you. 😁 Director Kim Hyeon-sun Graduated from Seoul National University College of Dentistry Catholic University College of Medicine, Department of Orthodontics, Visiting Professor Orthodontic specialist (Ministry of Health and Welfare) Orthodontics and Accreditation (Korean Orthodontic Association) World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO) Fellowship Associate Professor of Outpatient Clinic, CHA University Hospital Director of Hyun Ceramic Dental Clinic -------------------------------- Click here to see more posts about Cashdoc Orthodontics! 🔗 [Health Column] Reverse Correction: Why Re-Correction Is Necessary After Correction 🔗 [Health Column] Open Bite Treatment and Fundamental Solutions 🔗 [Health Column] 3 Tips for Quickly Finishing Your Orthodontic Treatment 🔗 [Health Column] Invisalign Braces: A Complete Guide | Benefits, Wear Time, and Cost of Transparent Braces

Kim Hyun-soon ledger hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. I started orthodontic treatment with the dream of a beautiful smile. But what if, after treatment, you find yourself smiling awkwardly or experiencing unexpected facial changes that make you anxious? Orthodontics is not simply about straightening teeth. Balance and function of the entire face It is a delicate treatment that must be considered together. However, if the teeth move more than planned or if the procedure is performed without considering changes in facial appearance, New discomforts may arise, such as, 'The protrusion was resolved, but I now have a new canine tooth.' 1. What is ‘Okni’? Compared to the roots of teeth, crown (visible part) This refers to a state where the inward tilt is excessive. Although the teeth appear to be even on the outside, in reality Side effects of abnormally tilted tooth axis are you. In this case, it is not just a cosmetic issue, If your pronunciation becomes inaccurate, I feel discomfort when chewing food. Unbalanced pressure may also be placed on the temporomandibular joint. 2. The treatment needed in this case: 'reverse correction' As the name suggests, ‘reverse correction’ Treatment to return teeth to the opposite direction of misalignment Tell me. Many people ask, “Isn’t this the same thing as re-correction?” but they are different. division Recalibration reverse correction Point of view After correction Under correction cause Dissatisfaction with results/recurrence Excessive movement of teeth purpose Full recalibration Correction of wrong direction ✔️That is, reverse correction During correction Correcting incorrect tooth movement Precision tuning process are you. As treatment directions change, meticulous planning and clinical experience are important. 3. Why reverse correction is difficult Reverse correction requires a much higher level of precision than regular correction. Teeth that have already moved Adjust in the opposite direction again Because of this, even a small error can have a big impact on the overall occlusion. ✔️ Technical elements required for reverse correction Special bracket : Use of a custom device designed to guide teeth into the correct angle Dedicated wire : A special wire with a bent front section that allows for fine force control Miniscrew : Precisely control tooth movement by pulling the molars forward or securing a fixed point This whole process not only speeds up the correction, Because we have to consider the reaction of the alveolar bone (the bone that supports the teeth) and gum tissue. Abundant clinical experience is key are you. 4. What if I'm worried about side effects? Since this is a treatment to move teeth again, many people worry, “Will my gums or roots become weak?” but Experienced orthodontist and specialist If you can finely control the speed and direction of tooth movement, It can minimize the risk of root resorption or periodontal damage. However, excessive back-correction or repetitive movement Because it can cause fatigue accumulation in the alveolar bone, Sufficient analysis and planning before treatment This is a must. ✔️Self-diagnosis checklist Does any of the following apply to you? If two or more apply, it may be necessary to reverse the correction. Check items Yes/No I'm getting braces, but my front teeth look too close together. ☐ / ☐ When I close my mouth, my lips feel thin and dry. ☐ / ☐ When I smile, my teeth are barely visible. ☐ / ☐ After correction, pronunciation is awkward or speaking is uncomfortable ☐ / ☐ When chewing food, force is applied to only one side ☐ / ☐ 💡 Lifestyle habits to watch out for during braces bad habits How to improve Rest your chin on one side Consciously stop the habit of resting your chin on your hand Chew solid food often Eat mainly soft foods The habit of rubbing one's teeth with one's tongue Tongue position correction training (palatal attachment) Irregular visits Strictly adhere to regular visit schedule 5. Conclusion Reverse orthodontics is not simply the process of 'pushing back' teeth. Correcting incorrect movements and restoring harmony between the face and teeth Precision treatment Yes. If you feel changes such as “My mouth feels sunken in” or “It feels weird when I smile” during the correction, Don't neglect it Please get checked by a specialist. If there is an accurate diagnosis and careful adjustment, You can regain your natural smile that you've lost for a while. 😁 Director Kim Hyeon-sun Graduated from Seoul National University College of Dentistry Catholic University College of Medicine, Department of Orthodontics, Visiting Professor Orthodontic specialist (Ministry of Health and Welfare) Orthodontics and Accreditation (Korean Orthodontic Association) World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO) Fellowship Associate Professor of Outpatient Clinic, CHA University Hospital Director of Hyun Ceramic Dental Clinic -------------------------------- Click here to see more posts about Cashdoc Orthodontics! 🔗 [Health Column] Open Bite Treatment and Fundamental Solutions 🔗 [Health Column] 3 Tips for Quickly Finishing Your Orthodontic Treatment 🔗 [Health Column] Invisalign Braces: A Complete Guide | Benefits, Wear Time, and Cost of Transparent Braces 🔗 [Health Column] Why Does Braces Last Differently for Each Person?

Kim Hyun-soon ledger hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. “Correction… Is there any way to finish it a little faster?”🤔 This is probably a concern that has crossed the mind of those who are undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Gum “Does gum help with braces?” You may find this strange. However, if you chew correctly, it can play a positive role in orthodontic treatment. Chewing evenly with both molars can strengthen occlusal force and promote tooth movement. Blowing bubble gum strengthens the lip muscles and helps improve protruding teeth. ✔️ step, Sticky or sugary gum can increase the risk of cavities, sugar-free gum It is important to choose . 2. Ice cream The wire of the orthodontic device It is sensitive to temperature changes. Especially when the pain is severe in the early stages of correction ice cream or cold water It helps to relieve pain temporarily. ✔️ However, if you eat only cold foods frequently, Because the correction effect may be reduced It is recommended to use it occasionally only for pain control. 3. Oral muscle exercises Strictly speaking, it is a habit rather than an 'item', but it is something that must be practiced together because it has a significant impact on the speed and results of correction. 👉Exercises to strengthen lip muscles ✅ What you need: Cotton roll (dental cotton, can be purchased at pharmacies or supermarkets) ✅ Method: Place the cotton roll between your lips and teeth and repeat the lip-puckering motion. ✅ Time: Practice consistently for about 5 minutes a day This exercise strengthens the muscles around the mouth, which helps teeth move more smoothly and has a positive effect on shortening the treatment period. 4. Summary of 3 Best Braces Item Expected effect Things to note gum (sugarless) - Strengthening occlusal force by using both molars - Bubble gum strengthens the lip muscles and improves protruding teeth. - Sugar-containing gum is a risk for cavities. - Sticky gum can damage the device. ice cream - Relief of initial pain after correction - Wire tension relief - Frequent intake reduces corrective effect - Limited use for pain control Oral muscle exercises - Strengthening the lips and surrounding muscles - Facilitating tooth movement - It is effective only if you do it consistently for more than 5 minutes a day. - Hygiene management is required when using cotton rolls. 5.

Kim Hyun-soon ledger hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. When you think of orthodontics, you usually think of it as a treatment to straighten your teeth, but these days, it is not just about straightening your teeth. Chin position and overall face shape The importance of integrated functional and aesthetic correction is increasingly being emphasized. One of the face shapes that many people are particularly concerned about is 'No chin' It can also be improved with orthodontic treatment. today Characteristics of the jawless class functional problems , and in reality Orthodontic treatment I'll tell you in detail how it works. 1. What is a no-brainer? No chin This refers to a face shape in which the lower jaw is positioned backwards from its normal position or the jaw itself appears small. When viewed from the front, the jawline is blurred, and when viewed from the side, the chin is barely visible, making the boundary between the neck and chin appear ambiguous. An accurate diagnosis is necessary because it can affect not only the shape of the face but also the occlusion, temporomandibular joint, and respiratory function. ✔️ Self-Diagnosis Checklist The hard bone at the tip of the chin is not easily palpable. When you close your mouth, a bumpy 'walnut line' appears at the tip of your chin. The jawline is barely visible in the profile view and the chin is sunken in. When you smile, your lower jaw appears shorter or the muscles under your lips are tense. item explanation The bone at the tip of the chin is not easily palpable. The chin is receding and the outline is blurred. Walnut wrinkles appear When you close your mouth, a wrinkle appears at the tip of your chin. No jawline visible from the side The chin is sunken in when viewed from the side When I smile, my lower jaw looks short. The muscles under the lips are pulled when smiling 2. Functional problems caused by the absence of a jaw No chin is not just a cosmetic issue, it can also lead to various functional problems. ✔️ Occlusal problems If the lower jaw is pushed back, the upper and lower teeth will not fit together properly. malocclusion This happens. This makes it difficult to chew food, It can even lead to digestive problems. ✔️ Temporomandibular joint problems If the jaw position is unbalanced, excessive tension is created in the temporomandibular joint. Joint pain, vocalization, limited mouth opening Symptoms such as: In the long run Tooth wear or gum damage It can also spread to secondary problems. ✔️ Breathing problems In severe cases of chin reduction, the lower jaw is pushed back, causing the tongue to move backwards, narrowing the airway. Risk of snoring or sleep apnea during sleep This can be high. 3. How is orthodontic treatment performed? Braces without teeth are not limited to simply aligning teeth. This is a complex treatment that moves and rotates the lower jaw forward. Before correction, we precisely diagnose jaw position, occlusion, muscle tension, etc. through digital scanning and 3D analysis, and establish a customized treatment plan accordingly. commonly The treatment period takes about one and a half to two years. And, in order to avoid putting excessive strain on the lower jaw, even during treatment, Improving lifestyle habits This is very important. ✔️ Lifestyle habits to watch out for during braces Rather than hard and chewy food soft meal Please select Avoid resting your chin on one side. Balance on both sides Please keep it Please refrain from opening your mouth excessively wide. Long-term use of smartphones and monitors Don't stick your chin forward Please take care Simply managing these habits well during the treatment period can reduce the burden on the temporomandibular joint and increase the treatment effect. 4. Is surgery absolutely necessary? Non-surgical approach is possible for chin correction, but if the lower jaw is severely regressed or there are skeletal problems, Jaw surgery This may be necessary. However, in most cases, appearance improvement and functional recovery are possible with orthodontic treatment alone. An accurate diagnosis will determine whether or not surgery is necessary. Being chinless is not just a matter of appearance. Structural problems that affect occlusion, breathing, and temporomandibular joint health no see. If you are experiencing discomfort with your jaw shape or occlusion, do not suffer alone. Consult with an orthodontic specialist to receive an accurate diagnosis and establish a treatment plan. We will always be with you for your healthy smile and confidence.😁 Director Kim Hyeon-sun Graduated from Seoul National University College of Dentistry Catholic University College of Medicine, Department of Orthodontics, Visiting Professor Orthodontic specialist (Ministry of Health and Welfare) Orthodontics and Accreditation (Korean Orthodontic Association) World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO) Fellowship Associate Professor of Outpatient Clinic, CHA University Hospital Director of Hyun Ceramic Dental Clinic -------------------------------- Click here to see more posts about Cashdoc Orthodontics! 🔗 [Health Column] Bad Breath You Don't Know About: How to Manage It Properly, Starting with the Cause 🔗 [Health Column] Invisalign Braces: A Complete Guide | Benefits, Wear Time, and Cost of Transparent Braces 🔗 [Health Column] Why Does Braces Last Differently for Each Person?

Kim Hyun-soon ledger hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. Recently, interest in transparent braces has increased significantly. At the center of it all is Invisalign There is a brand called . In the previous column too I briefly mentioned this when introducing the types of orthodontic devices. 👉[Health Column] Lingual Braces vs. Invisalign: How to Choose the 'Unnoticeable Braces'? Today, we'll delve deeper into Invisalign, exploring its advantages and limitations, as well as the importance of medical professionals. 1. What is Invisalign? Invisalign was developed by Align Technology in the United States. Representative transparent orthodontic device no see. Without the traditional wires or brackets, Device made of transparent plastic This method involves dividing the teeth into several stages (usually 20 to 100 stages) and wearing them sequentially to gradually move the teeth. ✔️ Invisalign production process - Scan your teeth with an intraoral digital scanner - Send scan data to US headquarters - Create 3D simulations based on tooth movement plans designed by medical staff - 3D printing of step-by-step transparent devices -Once the completed device arrives at the dentist, orthodontic treatment begins. The teeth move little by little as you wear the devices in a sequence that is meticulously planned for each step, and correction progresses. This whole process digital foundation In that it is made up of , Invisalign can be said to be an innovative orthodontic method that uses technology. 2. Advantages and limitations of Invisalign Invisalign silver 'Unobtrusive', 'Removable' has great advantages in two aspects. It is a treatment method that provides high satisfaction, especially to adults who are active in daily life or social activities. ✔️ Advantages - Almost invisible due to transparent device - The device is removable, making it easy to maintain oral hygiene. - Less gum irritation and relatively mild initial pain - Temporarily removable for important locations or filming However, Invisalign is not a panacea. The treatment effect may vary depending on the patient's cooperation and wearing habits, and there are limitations in cost and applicable cases. ✔️ Limits - Requires wearing for 20 to 22 hours a day - The cost is higher than general correction because the device is individually manufactured. - Results may vary significantly depending on treatment design capabilities. - May have limited application in complex teeth. ✔️ Comparison with bracket correction method item Invisalign (clear braces) Bracket correction Device type transparent plastic device Metal or ceramic brackets Aesthetics barely noticeable Looks good on the outside Whether detachable or not Possible (separate when eating or brushing teeth) Impossible (always attached) Hygiene management Easy to brush, less food stuck Needs maintenance, food can easily get stuck expense relatively high relatively inexpensive Wearing conditions Requires wearing for more than 20 hours a day Constant fixation, low cooperation 3. The key to Invisalign's success is its "medical team's design capabilities." Many people “Wouldn’t it be okay to just order a transparent device and put it in?” asks. But the most important part of Invisalign treatment is Accurate design and planning no see. Invisalign is not a simple ready-made product; it must be precisely designed to fit each patient's dental condition, specifying the direction, order, and amount of teeth movement. This process is all planned by the medical staff and the data is sent to Align headquarters for production. That is, even if you use devices of the same brand, The medical staff's diagnostic ability, orthodontic design experience, and ability to adjust during treatment Depending on the method, the degree of completion and treatment results may vary significantly. 4. Is Invisalign the right treatment for me? The Invisalign is clear A convenient and aesthetic correction method no see. However, it is not necessarily suitable for all patients. In cases where the arrangement of teeth is complex or cooperation is low, Rather, it may extend the treatment period or make it difficult to achieve the desired results. So, to determine if Invisalign is right for you and which treatment direction will be most effective, A thorough consultation with an experienced orthodontist is absolutely necessary. Please remember that the designer's fingertips are just as important as digital technology. Start your journey to healthy, beautiful teeth with a trusted medical team.😁 Director Kim Hyeon-sun Graduated from Seoul National University College of Dentistry Catholic University College of Medicine, Department of Orthodontics, Visiting Professor Orthodontic specialist (Ministry of Health and Welfare) Orthodontics and Accreditation (Korean Orthodontic Association) World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO) Fellowship Associate Professor of Outpatient Clinic, CHA University Hospital Director of Hyun Ceramic Dental Clinic -------------------------------- Click here to see more posts about Cashdoc Orthodontics! 🔗 [Health Column] Why Does Braces Last Differently for Each Person?

Kim Hyun-soon ledger hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. Orthodontic treatment is not simply a procedure to straighten teeth. Tooth movement is a complex process involving various factors, including the alveolar bone (gum bone), muscles, tongue position, and habits. that How long will the correction take? It is difficult to explain simply by the type of device or the hospital's capabilities. In fact, even with similar corrective devices, 1 year and a half With someone who ends up in a million More than 2 years There are people who get caught. One of the important factors that makes the difference is Lifestyle habits no see. Today, it can lengthen the correction period and, in some cases, affect the treatment results. Lifestyle habits Let's learn more about it. 1. Mouth breathing habit We are basically designed to breathe through our nose. However, nasal breathing becomes difficult due to rhinitis, allergies, or decreased oral muscle function. If you develop a habit of breathing through your mouth, it can affect the alignment of your teeth. Especially if mouth breathing has persisted since childhood, The direction of facial bone growth itself changes and the maxilla becomes narrower. malocclusion This increases the risk of it leading to For adults Even if pressure imbalances occur within the oral cavity, tooth movement may be delayed during orthodontic treatment. ✔️ Reasons that hinder tooth movement - The tongue position drops down and pushes the teeth outward - Weakened lip strength causes the front teeth to protrude or gap. - Occlusal problems occur when the growth balance of the upper and lower jaws is disrupted. ✔️ How to improve - Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth, close your lips slightly, and place your teeth slightly apart. - Problems that interfere with breathing, such as rhinitis and tonsillar hypertrophy, should be treated concurrently with ENT treatment. - Practice MFT (Myofunctional Therapy) consistently ✔️ Super easy MFT practice - 10 lip-puckering exercises - Inhale through your nose and exhale quietly. - Pronounce the 'huh' sound 10 times with your tongue touching the roof of your mouth. → Repeat 3 sets a day, make it a habit for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 2. The habit of clenching your teeth Unconsciously The habit of clenching one's teeth is a lifestyle habit that many people have without even realizing it. We often find ourselves tense in our jaws, especially when we're stressed, concentrating, or sleeping. This habit Temporomandibular joint pain, tooth wear, and periodontal tissue damage It can cause and if it is being corrected Inhibits tooth movement This is the main cause. ✔️ Reasons that hinder tooth movement - Continuous vertical pressure is transmitted to the orthodontic device, reducing movement. - The force applied in the opposite direction to the correction direction delays the correction time. - Increased risk of tooth root resorption during orthodontic treatment ✔️ Reasons that hinder tooth movement - Use of occlusal adjustment devices to avoid contact with molars - Self-awareness training to prevent unconscious bad habits - If necessary, concurrent botox treatment to relax jaw muscles ※ If you have a severe habit of clenching your teeth, the period of wearing a retainer after orthodontic treatment may be longer, so it is necessary to correct the habit in advance. 3. If you want to increase the treatment effect, start with your lifestyle habits. Orthodontics is not simply attaching devices to teeth. It is a treatment based on physiological changes that move teeth. thus Daily life habits This can directly affect the success or failure of your correction. for example, ✅ Tongue position If it is not corrected, the front teeth may spread apart again. ✅ Mouth breathing If you continue to do this, your face shape will change. ✅ The habit of biting teeth If this is present, teeth will not move properly, delaying treatment. Lifestyle items desirable habits Breathing method Nasal breathing, inhaling and exhaling quietly through the nose Tongue position Position the tip of your tongue so that it touches the roof of your mouth behind your upper teeth. Lip posture Close your lips gently and hold them together without using excessive force. jaw strength Keep your jaw relaxed and your teeth away from each other Sleeping position Sleep on your back, not on your side or stomach. Eating habits Chew using both sides equally As important as the treatment at the dentist is How do I live? no see. Changing small habits effort This alone can shorten the treatment period and maintain the results more stably. To maintain healthy teeth and function for a long time, start practicing today. 😁 Director Kim Hyeon-sun Graduated from Seoul National University College of Dentistry Catholic University College of Medicine, Department of Orthodontics, Visiting Professor Orthodontic specialist (Ministry of Health and Welfare) Orthodontics and Accreditation (Korean Orthodontic Association) World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO) Fellowship Associate Professor of Outpatient Clinic, CHA University Hospital Director of Hyun Ceramic Dental Clinic -------------------------------- Click here to see more posts about Cashdoc Orthodontics! 🔗 [Health Column] Is Orthodontic Extraction Really Necessary?

Kim Hyun-soon ledger hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. Among those considering orthodontic treatment 'It's burdensome to have the device visible' I often feel that way. Especially for office workers or those in jobs that involve meeting people frequently, they prefer braces that are not easily noticeable, or “unnoticeable braces.” Representative invisible correction methods include Lingual Braces class Invisalign There is this. Today is this Two types of correction We will explain in detail the differences and which method may be better suited for which person. 1. Lingual Braces: Brackets hidden inside Lingual correction Unlike general correction, Attaching brackets to the inner surface (lingual side) of the teeth This is how it works. The device is barely visible from the outside, which makes it aesthetically pleasing. ✔️Advantages of lingual orthodontics - The device is attached to the inside of the teeth so it is almost invisible. - Applicable to complex teeth, precise correction effect - High treatment accuracy as the dentist can directly make detailed adjustments - Very high aesthetic satisfaction ⚠️Things to keep in mind when getting lateral correction - The device touches your tongue, making pronunciation awkward or uncomfortable at first. - It may take time to adapt. - It is more difficult to manage than Invisalign and may cause pain. - Higher cost compared to other correction methods Most patients adapt within 1 to 2 weeks. Satisfaction level increases over time no see. 2. Invisalign: Transparent custom aligners It's removable The device can be removed when eating or brushing teeth. Easy to maintain hygiene do. The device is transparent and not easily visible, and has no wires or brackets. Less irritation to the mouth Less burden on daily life. ✔️Advantages of Invisalign - Made of transparent material, so it is almost invisible when worn - The device can be removed for hygienic management while eating or brushing teeth. - Less irritation or pain in the mouth due to the absence of metal devices - Less inconvenience or conversational restrictions in daily life ⚠️Things to keep in mind when getting lateral correction - Must be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day to be effective - If the wearing time is insufficient, the treatment effect may be reduced. - May have limited application in complex teeth. - Your own will and management have a great influence on the success of correction. day Wear for 20 to 22 hours or more Because you can expect the effect The user's consistent self-management and willpower are important. do. 3. Lingual braces vs. Invisalign, which is better? Many people “Which correction is better?” You may ask, but the answer will vary depending on your dental condition, lifestyle, budget, and job characteristics. division Lingual correction Invisalign Device location Attachment inside the tooth Wear a transparent mouthpiece Whether detachable or not impossibility possible Aesthetics Very good Very good Initial discomfort Tongue irritation, awkward pronunciation Less Ease of use Fixed Detachable (self-management required) 4.

Director Kim Hyun-sun Hello. I am Director Kim Hyun-soon of Ceramic Dental Clinic. Ceramic, Clippy C, Invisalign Which of the three main orthodontic devices is best to choose? If you decide to undergo orthodontic treatment, you will once again face a crossroads of choice. It's about deciding which orthodontic appliance to use. Today, I will compare and summarize the three most commonly chosen orthodontic appliances, focusing on their advantages. 1. Ceramic Braces Ceramic braces are orthodontic devices that use ceramic materials similar in color to teeth, providing excellent aesthetic effects. Additionally, it has high durability, allowing for long-term use, and the individual packaging ensures hygienic attachment. ✔️Recommended for: Those who want discreet braces while minimizing costs. 2. Clippy-C Correction (Self-ligation Bracket) Clippy-C orthodontics is a bracket correction method that uses a self-ligating system to fix the wire without rubber rings. Since the wire is fixed with a special clip inside the bracket, it is easy to replace and more hygienic. This is advantageous for preventing cavities and gum diseases, and also makes oral hygiene management easier. Additionally, the low friction force between the brackets and wires allows for efficient tooth movement. (However, the speed of tooth movement and pain levels vary between individuals.) ✔️Recommended for: Busy professionals or students who want to reduce the interval between visits and prefer more efficient dental visits. 3. Invisalign Invisalign is an orthodontic device made of transparent plastic material without wires or brackets. It is a brand of Align Technology in the United States, and it is especially popular among those who prioritize aesthetics. The device can be removed during meals or brushing, providing great convenience in daily life, and its tooth movement efficiency is also superior to that of regular clear aligners. It is also suitable for cases where both functionality and aesthetics are emphasized, as it can be applied to relatively complex malocclusions. However, Invisalign is custom-made at the U.S. headquarters based on 3D scan data, so it tends to be more expensive than other orthodontic devices. ✔️Recommended for: Those who prefer discreet orthodontics and need removable options in daily life (such as broadcasters, customer service professionals, public speakers, etc.). Summary comparison of three types of orthodontic appliances 1. Ceramic correction - Type: Tooth-colored ceramic brackets - Advantage: Less noticeable and durable - Recommendation: For those seeking general aesthetic orthodontics - Cost: ★★☆☆☆ (Average) ② Clippy correction - Type: Self-ligating bracket (no rubber band) - Advantages: Convenient outpatient visits, cavity prevention, efficient tooth movement - Recommendation: Busy professionals and students - Cost: ★★★☆☆ (Moderate) ③ Invisalign - Shape: Transparent plastic (detachable) - Advantages: discreet and convenient, precise correction possible - Recommendation: Those who want orthodontic treatment that does not show through appearance or profession - Cost: ★★★★★ (High) 4. How should I choose orthodontic appliances? Orthodontic appliances cannot be chosen solely based on aesthetics or convenience. Because the most suitable device can vary depending on an individual's dental condition, oral structure, and lifestyle patterns. ✅ Pre-orthodontic checkpoints How are your usual oral hygiene habits? How flexible is the interval between outpatient visits during orthodontic treatment? Is the environment during the correction period sensitive to appearance and interpersonal relationships? - How much budget are you considering? Please consider these factors together and choose the orthodontic method that best suits you through a professional dentist's precise diagnosis and consultation.

김현순 원장25.06.26Views 684Likes 5 [Health Column] Tooth Extraction for Orthodontics, Is It Absolutely Necessary? Criteria for Orthodontic Extraction and Tips for Choosing a Dentist[9]
Director Kim Hyun-sun Hello. I am Director Kim Hyun-soon of Ceramic Dental Clinic. One of the most frequently asked questions during orthodontic consultations is, "Do I have to extract teeth during orthodontic treatment?" In this article, I will explain in detail the reasons why tooth extraction may be necessary for orthodontics, clarify misconceptions about side effects, and outline the criteria to consider when choosing an orthodontic clinic. 1. Why is extraction necessary during orthodontic treatment? Orthodontics is not just a treatment to straighten teeth. This is a comprehensive treatment that considers the structure of the jawbone, the overall oral shape, and even the facial profile. Especially in cases where space is limited, some teeth need to be extracted to evenly align the teeth. Conversely, when there is enough space, satisfactory results can be achieved with non-extraction orthodontics. In other words, whether to perform orthodontic extraction depends on the patient's oral structure and tooth condition, and accurate assessment and planning are essential during the initial diagnosis. 2. Side effects of orthodontic extraction, should I be worried? "Is it okay to extract a healthy tooth?" What should I do if my mouth looks too small? This is a common concern for many people before orthodontic extraction. However, in cases where extraction is necessary, proceeding with non-extraction treatment forcefully may result in teeth not fitting into their proper positions, ultimately leading to the need for re-treatment. This can lead to increased time, cost, and psychological burden. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis and professional treatment plan are the best ways to reduce side effects. 3. How long does it take to recover after tooth extraction? Extraction is a surgical procedure, but in the case of a normal healthy extraction, the pain subsides within a few days. It does not significantly interfere with the orthodontic treatment. However, in cases of slower recovery, careful attention to oral hygiene management and dietary regulation is necessary. 4. How should I choose an orthodontic clinic? Orthodontic treatment typically takes more than 2 to 3 years. Therefore, the choice of dentist inevitably greatly influences the satisfaction with the treatment. The considerations when making a choice are as follows. Do you have enough treatment experience with cases similar to mine? Do you have clinical expertise in both extraction and non-extraction orthodontics? Is there a precise diagnostic system equipped for accurate diagnosis? Don't just consider the price or location, It is important to choose a hospital that offers customized treatment tailored to my oral condition. Conclusion: The decision to extract depends on the individual's dental structure. Tooth alignment and extraction are never topics with a single correct answer. It depends on the patient's oral structure, tooth arrangement, and treatment goals. If you are considering whether to extract the tooth, Receive an accurate diagnosis through consultation with a specialist with extensive clinical experience. A careful plan is the first step toward healthy correction. It is a path that leads to a beautiful and natural smile.
