hello, Garnet Plastic Surgery Director Baek In-su no see. As I entered middle age I hear people say, “My face looks wider from the side” or “My cheekbones look more prominent.” This change is often called a "peanut face." 🥜 It's not just a change that comes from losing weight. Aging of facial structure It often appears as it progresses together. today Facial shape restoration through PRP fat grafting About Let's summarize the key points you should know. ✨ Why do middle-aged people develop a 'peanut face'? 🟢 In middle-aged faces, changes in fat, ligaments, and skin occur simultaneously. The face as a whole in youth Uniform volume and elasticity while maintaining soft Egg-shaped outline It is often seen. However, after middle age, the following changes occur simultaneously: 🔸 Midfacial fat atrophy 🔸 Volume reduction in the center of the cheek and under the cheekbones 🔸 Lower face sagging due to ligament laxity 🔸 Loss of skin elasticity As these changes overlap, ✔ The crown and the center of the ball are sunken ✔ The clown is relatively prominent ✔ The impression that the face is spread apart from side to side in other words, Peanut-shaped face shape may appear. 📌 Important point! This change is not simply due to weight changes. As a result of complex changes in facial structure That is the point. What effects can I expect from PRP fat grafting? 🟢Helps complement lost volume and create soft facial contours. PRP fat grafting is a procedure that uses PRP (platelet-rich plasma) together with your own fat to supplement facial volume. Here are some changes you can expect when improving a middle-aged peanut-shaped face with PRP fat grafting: 🔸 Relieves sunken cheeks and forehead 🔸 Clown relief buffer 🔸 Restoring soft, oval contours 🔸 Relieves tired and sharp facial expressions 🔸 Improves skin texture and fine wrinkles (auxiliary effect) But there is one important point. ⚠️ In case of severe sagging Volume supplementation alone may not provide sufficient improvement. In this case Consider a concurrent strategy with lifting treatment. You can expect more natural results. What is the most important thing in PRP fat grafting? 🟢The key is not to put in too much, but to put in correctly. A middle-aged face A condition in which skin elasticity and supporting ligaments are weakened no see. So if you overfill the area under the cheekbones or cheekbones, ⚠️ Makes your face look bigger ⚠️ Sagging is more noticeable ⚠️ A peanut-shaped face can be further emphasized. So there is one important principle. ✔ It's better to put it in accurately than to put in a lot Especially in middle-aged faces 🔸 Restore central volume 🔸 Suppress excessive outer volume This balance is important. Why does it matter how deep you put the fat? 🟢 Layer selection determines natural results. In PRP fat grafting, Fat Which layer do you inject into? is very important. The balance between the following two layers is particularly important. ✔ Deep plane above the periosteum → Structural volume support role ✔ Subcutaneous layer → Naturally flowing volume formation if ⚠️ If you inject only a shallow layer → it may look bumpy ⚠️ If only the deep layer is injected → artificial protrusion may occur. so Layer-by-layer balanced injection This is an important point. Is PRP fat grafting always a safe procedure? 🟢Because the facial area has complex blood vessels, skill is important. On the face The vascular structure is very complexly distributed It is done. The following areas in particular require attention: 🔸 Clown lower body 🔸 False face area 🔸 Temple area These areas are Because there is a risk of vascular damage The surgeon's anatomical understanding and experience are important. 📌 Common misconceptions ❌ “Mixing PRP is absolutely safe.” → Actual safety is Anatomical proficiency of the surgeon It depends on. Is it better to complete PRP fat grafting in one session? 🟢A step-by-step approach may look more natural on a middle-aged face. In middle-aged faces, the following variables exist: 🔸 Fat engraftment rate 🔸 Difference in skin elasticity 🔸 Individual differences in absorption rate So I forced myself to do it all at once Overcorrection Rather than doing ✔ Restore primary structure ✔ Secondary fine-tuning if necessary Same as Step-by-step approach strategy This may lead to more natural results. What should I check before the procedure? 🟢When choosing a hospital, it is important to consider how they analyze and design your facial structure. Here are some factors to consider when considering a procedure: 🔸 Understanding facial anatomy 🔸 Layer-by-layer injection experience 🔸 A design philosophy that avoids overcorrection 🔸 Whether or not an emergency response system is in place You may also want to refer to the following checklist: ✔ How to prepare PRP ✔ Fat refining process ✔ Whether only one treatment is recommended ✔ Whether or not to explain the necessity of concurrent lifting 📌 Important Points What's more important than cost How to analyze and design facial structure no see. FAQ Q1. What causes a peanut-shaped face in middle age? A1. It is a structural aging phenomenon that occurs through the combined effects of atrophy of the temples and mid-face fat, relaxation of the retaining ligaments, and sagging of the lower face. Q2. Is improvement possible with PRP fat grafting alone? A2. If sagging is the main cause, it may help, but if the sagging is severe, a lifting treatment may be considered as well. Q3. Will adding more fat produce better results? A3. No. Excessive volume injection can actually make the face appear larger or unnatural, so precise placement and balance are important. Conclusion ✨ ✔ Middle-aged peanut-shaped face Structural aging, not just lack of volume no see. ✔ PRP fat grafting A method of restoring facial shape This could be it. But the key that determines the outcome is ✨ Not putting in too much, but putting in just the right amount ✨ Central volume restoration + lateral resection ✨ Balanced design considering deflection no see.

Director Choi Woo-hyuk Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyuk. Lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery has significantly evolved with the advancement of modern medical technology. Developing into more delicate and effective methods, it now offers patients faster recovery and more natural results. In this column, we will explore the new procedures and their effects in detail. 1. People who need lower eyelid fat repositioning Lower eyelid fat repositioning is not a necessary procedure for everyone. This surgery requires different approaches depending on the deformation of the tear trough. The method that has recently gained popularity involves an approach through the inner conjunctiva of the eye, performed without visible incisions and with minimal bleeding. This technique is effective and offers the advantage of quick recovery. 2. Recovery period for lower eyelid fat repositioning This surgery involves removing the fat from the inner corner of the eye and inserting it into the tear trough area. Recovery is relatively quick, and patients can return to daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks. In particular, once the external tape is removed, there is no need for additional suture removal, significantly reducing the patient's burden. 3. Under-eye fat repositioning radiofrequency procedure Instead of traditional surgery, a procedure using high-frequency technology has emerged. This method burns fat with a needle without incisions, resulting in less swelling and bruising, and a very quick recovery. It also causes less pain, with the procedure lasting only 10 to 15 minutes and performed under local anesthesia. 4. Side effects of lower eyelid fat repositioning Immediately after surgery, the area under the eyelid may appear sunken, but over time it will naturally flatten. Rarely, side effects such as retrobulbar hematoma, diplopia, or temporary vision loss may occur, and immediate contact with the hospital is necessary if abnormal symptoms appear. 5. Duration of Effect and Possibility of Re-treatment The effects of the procedure generally last for 1 to 2 years, and with proper maintenance, semi-permanent results can be expected. Additionally, individuals who have previously undergone surgery can also see results through re-treatment. Lower eyelid fat repositioning surgery and radiofrequency treatments are effective for individuals with good skin elasticity and can delay the need for lower eyelid surgery. For those considering these procedures, it is important to make a decision after thorough consultation with an experienced specialist. After making a reservation, it is recommended to resolve all questions through pre-procedure consultation and to prepare adequately for the treatment.

hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. The toothpaste you use every morning and evening—are you perhaps mindlessly using a cheap product sold in bundles at the supermarket or whatever your family bought? 😊 In fact, toothpaste is not merely a foaming cleaner; depending on its ingredients, it is an important 'quasi-drug' that can either protect your dental health or actually damage it. 🛡️ Today, the thing patients most frequently miss at the dentist 3 Key Ingredients in Toothpaste I’ll pinpoint the key points on how to choose the toothpaste that’s perfect for you! 1. Are 'abrasives' for cleaning teeth suitable for my brushing habits? ? It wipes away stains from the tooth surface, but too much can be toxic! Accounts for 20–40% of toothpaste Abrasive It plays a remarkable role in removing food residue and plaque. but toothpaste with too strong abrasive power If you combine this with a habit of brushing your teeth vigorously horizontally, it causes problems. This is because 'cervical abrasion,' where the boundary between the tooth and gum is eroded in a wedge shape, can occur. 📌 If you usually have sensitive teeth or your gum line is already receding, toothpaste with a low abrasive index (RDA). It is much safer to choose . 💡 A word from the Director: If you brush your teeth hard Abrasive components Make sure to check this out! 2. 'Surfactants,' the main culprit behind foam, do they cause dry mouth? ✨Beware of oral mucosal irritation hidden behind the squeaky foam. Creating rich foam in toothpaste Surfactant (SLS) It enhances cleaning power, but it is strictly a chemical ingredient. If this ingredient remains in the mouth for a long time, it irritates the mucous membrane. Slows down the recovery from stomatitis or dries out the mouth dry mouth It can cause. 📌 If your mouth often feels dry or sticky Products with little or no surfactants I recommend do. ✨ Brushing Tips: If you use a lot of foaming toothpaste About 7 to 10 times You must rinse very thoroughly to ensure no ingredients remain! 3. 'Fluoride,' the key to preventing cavities—have you properly checked the concentration? The magic of 'remineralization' that strengthens teeth—concentration is the key. Fluorine It is a beneficial ingredient that protects teeth from acidic components and increases resistance to cavities. It is also effective for relieving tooth sensitivity. However, if the concentration is too low, it is difficult to see results. 📌 If you want to see the proper cavity prevention effects Fluorine concentration of 1,000 ppm or higher Choose a high-concentration fluoride toothpaste. 🔍 Checkpoint: Right now, on the ingredient list on the back of the toothpaste Fluorine content Check it out! Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Is it safe to use whitening toothpaste for a long time? ? A1. The hydrogen peroxide in whitening toothpaste is usually less than 3%, so it is not harmful to the human body, but, Prolonged use may cause tooth sensitivity. For those with sensitive teeth, I recommend toothpaste containing fluoride or potassium nitrate. Q2. What is the principle behind toothpaste specifically for sensitive teeth? ? A2. potassium nitrate The same ingredient blocks the tiny pores in the teeth It is a principle that blocks cold or hot stimuli from being transmitted to the nerves. Q3. How many times should I rinse after brushing my teeth? ? A3. With regular toothpaste, ensure that no detergent ingredients remain in the mouth About 6 to 10 times Rinsing thoroughly is the best way to reduce dry mouth and irritation. conclusion The condition of my teeth is the standard for choosing toothpaste. You should choose toothpaste suited to 'the condition of your mouth' rather than 'what others recommend.' 🦷 ✅ What if your teeth are heavily worn down? Low-abrasive toothpaste ✅ Worried about cavities? High-fluoride toothpaste Above all, proper brushing habits are essential for the toothpaste to be fully effective. If you are currently experiencing severe tooth sensitivity or pain, rather than trying to diagnose it yourself Visit a nearby dental clinic and consult with a specialist. Therefore, I recommend that you find the care method that suits you best. 👨⚕️✨ Smile D Dental Clinic Chief Director Oh Su-hwan - Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry - Major in Orthodontics, Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry - Board-certified Orthodontist by the Ministry of Health and Welfare - Regular member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists - Completed internship and residency in Orthodontics at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital - International member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) - International member of the World Federation of Correctional Organizations (WFO) - Regular member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists - Certified by the Korean Association of Orthodontists View more expert columns by Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Director of Smile D Dental Clinic 📎 [Expert Column] Clear Aligners: Wire-Free Orthodontic Treatment—Is It Really Unnoticeable? 📎 [Expert Column] No-Prep Veneers, Is It Really 'No Prep'?

hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. You made a big decision to get the implant, so you must have felt relieved, thinking, "I'll be able to use this for the rest of my life." Unfortunately, even if it is properly implanted, if care is neglected or unexpected situations arise Implant removal There are times when you have to make a difficult decision. Today, we will look at why situations arise where well-placed implants must be removed, and what our bodies send danger signal I'll pinpoint exactly what it is! 1. What are the warning signs that dental implants send? 🦷 No implant falls out "suddenly." There are always warning signs! If a problem arises with an implant, it is highly likely that our body is already sending small signals. ⚠️ If you experience even one of the symptoms below, do not take it lightly. Changes in the gums Swollen gums or frequent bleeding when brushing teeth uncomfortable pain I feel a strange pain every time I chew food. Shake detection I feel like the implant is slightly loose. Foreign object jamming Food particles have started getting stuck much more than usual. Such changes can lead to the removal of implants childhood This could be the case, so do not ignore it and visit a dentist immediately for a check-up. 2. What are the main causes of implant removal? 🦷 The biggest enemies are 'inflammation' and 'lack of support'. Why do you have to remove implants that were difficult to implant? Here are the four main reasons. Peri-implantitis (Most common cause!): This is a phenomenon where inflammation occurs in the gums and bone surrounding the implant, causing the bone to erode. If left untreated, removal will eventually become inevitable. Lack of bone support : If the amount of gum bone supporting the implant is insufficient or its density decreases, the fixation weakens, and removal must be considered. Initial implant failure : This is a case where the bone and implant did not fuse properly in the early stages due to systemic health issues such as smoking or diabetes, or a lack of proper care. Occlusal problems : If chewing force is unevenly distributed, it can cause continuous damage to the bone surrounding the implant, leading to problems. 3. For implant removal, do I have to have all of them removed? 🦷 Depending on the situation, it may be resolved with 'partial measures'! You don't need to be afraid in advance that you might have to remove the entire thing. The method varies depending on the situation. ✅ Some measures possible : Minor issues, such as problems with the upper prosthesis or loose screws, can be resolved with simple measures. ✅ Total removal required : Surgical removal is necessary if the root (fixture) is damaged or if significant bone resorption has occurred due to severe inflammation. 4. How should I manage my diet safely after surgery? 🦷 🦷 Reducing irritation is the shortcut to a quick recovery! After removal or re-implantation, every single thing you eat is important. 🍴 Day 0: Stopping bleeding Focus on this! 🩸 1~3 days: While managing swelling Very soft liquid food Please eat. 4~7 days: Protein-rich foods like tofu and eggs soft regular food Starts. 1~2 weeks: Gradually Normal meal Go back, but avoid hard foods. FAQ Q1. Can I eat ice cream after implant surgery? ? A1. Yes, it is possible! In fact, cold stimulation can help relieve pain and swelling. 🍦 However, you must not eat too much. Q2. When can I start drinking coffee? ☕ A2. It is recommended to start taking it 2 to 3 days after surgery, and it is best to consume it lukewarm rather than too hot. Q3. Are alcohol and cigarettes really forbidden? 🍺🚬 A3. Yes, At least 1 to 2 weeks You must strictly prohibit this! It is the main culprit that slows recovery and drastically increases the risk of inflammation. 🚭 conclusion The lifespan of an implant is determined by 'attention'. Implant removal is not a misfortune that happens suddenly one day, The result of small problems accumulating no see. The difference between dismissing it with a "It feels a bit strange, but it should be okay?" attitude and thinking "Let's check it out" determines the lifespan of your implant. ✨ We hope you protect your precious implants for a long time through proper lifestyle habits, such as regular checkups, thorough brushing, and quitting smoking. If you feel uncomfortable, do not hesitate.

hello. Director Jae-wook Jeong of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. The experience of breaking your front teeth with a 'crunch' while chewing hard food, or bumping them against something, happens much more commonly than you might think. Since your front teeth are the most important part in determining your impression, your heart will sink the moment you look in the mirror. But don't worry too much! Appropriate coping methods and treatments tailored to me If you know just this, you can protect your precious teeth and fully regain your bright smile. Today, I'll pick out the key information and share it with you! 1. What if your front tooth suddenly chipped? Check 'this' before going to the dentist! 👋 Please remember these three things before visiting the dentist: secure the fragment, check for nerve exposure, and do not neglect the problem! Although you may be flustered by a sudden accident, checking the checklist below first can significantly improve the treatment outcome. 🦷 Don't throw away tooth fragments! If the broken piece is large Physiological saline or milk Soak it in water and bring it back as soon as possible. Depending on the condition, reattachment may be possible. ⚠️Can you see the nerve? How is the pain? If the fractured area appears red or the sensitivity is severe, the nerve is exposed Emergency situation It could be. In this case, you must rush to the dentist without delay. 🚫 "It's just a little, it'll be fine, right?" Never neglect it! If bacteria penetrate even a tiny, barely visible gap Internal cavities or additional damage This can lead to medical expenses being several times higher later. 2. What is the perfect treatment for my dental condition? 👋 Depending on the extent of the damage, you must select the optimal method, ranging from resin to implants. Since teeth do not heal naturally once broken, a professional diagnosis is essential depending on the depth of the fracture. What if it's a slight crack or micro-damage? ➡️ [Resin] It is a method of filling with material that matches the color of the teeth. Immediate recovery on the same day The fact that it is possible is a big advantage! ✨ If you have moderate damage requiring shape improvement? ➡️ [Airnate / Laminate] It is effective when resin is insufficient. Especially Airate It restores broken areas precisely and naturally with almost no tooth removal.

hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. While eating a meal as usual, suddenly the implant It feels like it just popped out. Whenever a tooth comes in or I chew A 'rattling' unfamiliar feeling Have you ever felt it? Especially since this situation happened to cause the hospital to close. weekends or late nights You would be very flustered if it happened. 😰 "Is this completely broken?", "Should I go to the emergency room right away?" For those who are concerned, ✨ today Actions You Must Never Do When an Implant Screw Loosens and the Correct Ways to Respond to Them for Each Situation We will summarize it for you in an easy-to-understand way! 1. Why do implant screws suddenly become loose? ? 🦷 This is because the 'screw' securing the prosthesis has loosened due to various causes. Implants are not simply a single unit, but are embedded within the gum bone Artificial root (fixture) , column (abutment) , and visible Prosthetics (crowns) It consists of the structure of What binds them tightly is the 'screw' is. 🔩 📌 The screw may come loose for these reasons! Chewing pressure: When excessive chewing force is concentrated on only one side Oral habits: The habit of grinding or clenching one's teeth unconsciously Wear and tear and aging: If the screw itself is worn out due to long-term use Initial fixation force: Rarely, when initial bonding strength was slightly insufficient or bone fusion was unstable 2. If an implant screw comes loose, do I absolutely have to have it re-implanted? ? 🦷 Don't worry! As long as the root (fixture) is intact, simply tightening the screws again will solve the problem. Many people ask, "If it loosens, doesn't that mean the implant is ruined?" but fortunately... Re-implantation is not always necessary. ✅ The situation is broadly divided into two types. In the case where only the screw is loose : The fixture is firmly attached to the bone and Only the prosthesis placed on top is loose It is. At the dental clinic It can be easily solved by simply tightening it again. It works! ✨ Problems with the entire structure : If acting as a root If the fixture itself is shaking Additional treatment or re-implantation may be necessary. Therefore, shaking is felt Early response Doing so is the smartest way to reduce the scope of treatment. 3. What should you absolutely never do when an implant is loose? ? 🦷 Attempting to fix it could actually completely ruin the implant. ⚠️ This is absolutely forbidden! Direct screw tightening: If you use tools or screwdrivers found at home screw threads The ('wavy grooves etched into the screw') may be damaged, rendering it completely unusable. ❌ Use super glue: This is a surprisingly common mistake! If you apply adhesive, the prosthesis will become impossible to remove later. You might have to smash even your perfectly good prosthetics and make new ones. 😱 Continue eating as is: If you continue to chew while it is rattling, the internal structures may wear down, or in the worst case, even the fixture inside the bone may be damaged. 4. I can't go to the dentist because it's the weekend. What should I do right now? ? 🦷 Don't panic, just remember two things: 'protection' and 'storage'. If you are unable to visit the hospital immediately, please make sure to follow the steps below by Monday morning. Stop using the affected area : Minimize chewing, and absolutely Eating only on the opposite side Do it. 🍽️ Consume soft foods : It is recommended to focus on liquid foods that require minimal chewing, such as porridge, soup, and tofu. Keep the missing prosthesis clean. : If the crown has completely fallen out, please keep it safe so you don't lose it and be sure to bring it with you when you visit! 📥 Quick booking : You need to find a dental clinic that is open on weekends, or schedule an appointment as soon as Monday arrives. 5. What problems arise if a loose implant screw is left untreated? ? 🦷 What could have been prevented with a hoe might end up requiring a shovel. That is why regular inspections are essential! If you ignore the slight shaking and keep using it, you will eventually pay a heavy price. 😢 Damaged parts : The screw may wear out or the connecting post (abutment) may break. Bone resorption progress : A loose prosthesis can cause continuous irritation to the gums, leading to the surrounding bone dissolving. Risk of re-surgery : In the end, it was a problem that could be solved simply by tightening. Major surgery to extract and re-implant implants It may lead to. 🔸 ✨ Preventive measures for long-lasting durability! Maintain cleanliness around the teeth with dental floss and interdental brushes 🪥 Check the screw tightening status every time through regular checkups If you grind your teeth, wear a splint. FAQ Q1. I tried putting the fallen prosthesis back in, and it fits perfectly. Can I just use it as is? ? A1. No! Even if it appears to fit on the outside, food particles can enter through tiny gaps and cause inflammation, or it may slip out quickly due to being unable to withstand chewing forces, potentially damaging the inside. ⚠️ It must be fixed at a dental clinic using specialized tools. Q2. Are there people whose implant screws frequently come loose? ? A2. Those who chew very hard or enjoy tough foods, or those who have a habit of grinding their teeth severely while sleeping, may experience screws loosening relatively more frequently. In this case, it is recommended to shorten the interval between regular checkups. conclusion Loose implant screws are an 🚨'emergency signal' sent by our body. It might be disconcerting because it appeared suddenly, but in most cases, it is a phenomenon that develops as small abnormalities accumulate. Don't panic even if it happens on the weekend! The most important thing is Seek a specialist quickly after stopping use, without touching it directly. no see. Implants are just as important as they are to be implanted properly.

hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. When consulting with patients in their 50s at the dental clinic, there are really many who wave their hands and say, "Why would I need braces at this age? I'm embarrassed." However, the 50s are not the time to give up on braces; rather, it is a very important step that determines the final lifespan of your teeth. Golden Time Did you know that it could be? Today, based on medical evidence, I will go over the feasibility of orthodontic treatment for those in their 50s and the precautions in detail. 🔍 1. Orthodontics for those in their 50s: What is 'this' more important than age? ? ✨ The key is not the number of years, but the 'gum stamina' to support your teeth. . To start with the conclusion, orthodontic treatment is fully possible even in your 50s, and the results can be very good. but, 'Foundation work' to withstand the orthodontic device The key is whether it has been done. 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! My gums are well cared for, though. People whose teeth are gradually becoming spaced apart or misaligned molar left missing Those whose adjacent teeth have tilted and whose overall occlusion has collapsed especially Creating space for implant placement If necessary It is very effective. ❌ Caution is required for these people! severe gum disease : If your teeth are very loose, gum treatment comes before orthodontics. uncontrolled systemic disease : It is not recommended for those with slow wound healing due to uncontrolled diabetes or other conditions. 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.

hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. Have you ever been worried because you looked in the mirror after implant treatment and your face looked more swollen than usual? 🦷 Especially if you are having implant surgery for the first time, even small changes can feel more significant. but Swelling of the implant itself is often a natural reaction that occurs during the recovery process. The important thing is, this swelling Is it within the normal range to wait? , or not Is it a signal that needs to be checked again? It is to distinguish. Today, I will summarize those criteria a little more simply! 1. Why does implant swelling occur? 🦷 This is a temporary reaction that may occur during the recovery process of the surgical site. During the implant surgery process, a small drilling is performed in the jawbone along with an incision in the gum. During this process, gum tissue, microvessels, and surrounding soft tissues are irritated, and the body triggers an inflammatory response to recover. At this time, as blood flow increases, the area around the surgery site may appear temporarily swollen, which can be considered implant swelling. In other words, swelling in many cases is It is a sign that recovery is progressing rather than that the surgery went wrong. It can be understood as. For example, there are cases where you feel your face looks a little more swollen after returning home or the next morning than immediately after surgery. In times like this, rather than immediately concluding it is more than ideal First, examine whether the change is within the recovery flow. This is important. ✔️In conclusion, rather than being too alarmed when you first see swelling, Trend of change over the past few days It is recommended to look at it together. 2. When is implant swelling most severe? It is often more noticeable on the 2nd or 3rd day after surgery than immediately after. Many people think that swelling is most severe on the day of surgery, but actually When swelling is most prominent on the 2nd or 3rd day There are many. Usually, it proceeds in the following flow. 🔹 Day of surgery → Swelling begins 🔹 2~3 days → Swelling peaks 🔹 4~5 days → Gradually decrease 🔹 1 week → Noticeable improvement in most cases Of course, there are individual differences in recovery speed. Depending on one's constitution or health condition, it may last for more than a week. Swelling may last a little longer, especially in the following cases. 🔸 Cases where bone grafting was performed concurrently 🔸 Cases where multiple implants are placed simultaneously 🔸 In cases of systemic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension 🔸 If you have a smoking habit For example, even if you undergo the same implant surgery, some people's implants subside quickly starting from the 4th or 5th day, while others' implants may take more than a week to fall out. so You need to be careful when simply comparing your recovery speed with that of others. 📌 Briefly checking the progress by date helps in assessing the condition. 3. How should I manage the implant to reduce swelling? The degree of swelling and the speed of recovery may vary depending on initial care and lifestyle habits. Post-surgery care is more important than you might think. This is because even with the same surgery, the degree of swelling and the recovery process can vary depending on the management method. 1. Cold compress for 48 hours after surgery Cold compresses are most important in the beginning. 10–15 minutes cold compress, 5–10 minutes rest Repeating this can help reduce swelling and bleeding. 2. Apply warm compresses after 2 to 3 days. Once the initial swelling subsides, you can help improve blood circulation through warm compresses. Warm compresses can help with tissue recovery and reduce inflammation. 3. Food and Lifestyle Management Lifestyle habits are also important for alleviating implant swelling. 🔸 Avoid hot and spicy foods 🔸 Temporarily pause intense workouts 🔸 Drink plenty of fluids 🔸 Take prescribed medication If you just follow these basic management steps, the recovery process can proceed much more stably. It’s not that it’s over once the surgery is finished, Management during the first few days can determine the course of recovery. It would be good if you understood it that way. 4. Which types of implant swelling require close monitoring? It is important to look at the accompanying signals rather than the swelling itself. Most swelling subsides naturally. ⚠️However, if the following symptoms appear together, it may not be just simple swelling. 🔸 If swelling continues to worsen 🔸 In cases of persistent severe pain 🔸 Bad breath or pus formation 🔸 Sensation of heat or fever In this case Possibility of peri-implantitis, hematoma, or infection Since this may occur, it is recommended to visit a dentist promptly to get checked. For example, if it feels fine at first but the swelling worsens and the pain intensifies over time, it is best not to simply dismiss it with the thought of "let's wait a little longer." This is because the recovery response generally tends to subside over time. Look at how the swelling is changing rather than whether there is swelling. If pain, heat, odor, and pus are present together, further investigation is required. 5. Why does implant swelling vary from person to person? Even with the same surgery, the recovery pattern can vary depending on your physical condition and the extent of the operation. Even after undergoing the same implant surgery, the degree of swelling varies from person to person. The main reasons are as follows. 🔸 Gum thickness 🔸 Jawbone Density 🔸 Surgical scope 🔸 Age 🔸 Immunity especially In cases where bone grafting was performed together Swelling may last longer than with regular implants. So rather than simply comparing with others, It is important to make a judgment based on your own recovery progress. For example, just because you hear someone say, “I got better in a few days,” you don’t need to immediately assume that your swelling is abnormal. This is because the recovery process can vary depending on the details of the surgery and the physical condition. 📌 Please keep in mind that recovery speed varies from person to person. 📌 Rather than comparing yourself to others Whether my condition is gradually improving It is more important to look at . 6. What lifestyle habits help manage implant swelling? There are basic habits that help with both swelling management and implant stability. Try maintaining the following habits to help with recovery. 🔸 Sleep with your pillow slightly elevated 🔸 A diet rich in protein and vitamins 🔸 Maintain abstinence from alcohol and smoking 🔸 Gently brush, avoiding the implant site 🔸 Use prescription mouthwash These habits can help not only with managing swelling but also with the implant settling in stably. Rather than a special method, Consistent basic management This is important. For example, simply avoiding keeping your head too low while sleeping or refraining from mindlessly eating spicy food immediately afterward can make a difference in the recovery process. Even if they seem small, these habits come together to make the recovery process a little more comfortable. 📌 Rather than difficult and complex management, Consistently maintaining the basic rules to be followed This is the key. FAQ Q1. Is all swelling after implant surgery a warning sign? A1. That is not the case. Swelling after implant surgery is mostly a natural reaction that can occur during the normal recovery process. Q2. When does implant swelling usually start to subside? A2. Usually, it is most pronounced on the 2nd or 3rd day after surgery, gradually decreases from the 4th or 5th day, and often subsides significantly after about a week. Q3. When should I visit the dentist again if there is swelling? A3. If swelling continues to worsen, severe pain persists, or is accompanied by bad breath, pus, a sensation of heat, or fever, further examination may be necessary. conclusion Swelling from implants is mostly a natural part of the recovery process. no see. While the presence of swelling after surgery does not necessarily mean there is a problem, it is important to monitor whether it is subsiding over time or if it is a sign of worsening. The speed of recovery may vary depending on initial care and lifestyle habits. Simply following basic guidelines, such as applying cold compresses, managing your lifestyle, and taking prescribed medication, can help with recovery. However, if the swelling worsens or is accompanied by pain, heat, or pus, do not delay and have your condition checked at a dental clinic. Rather than being unconditionally anxious, knowing both the normal recovery range and warning signs. This is the most important thing.

hello, Park Ji-hoon, Chief Director of Beautiful Korean Medicine Clinic no see. When looking in the mirror or taking a picture, If only one corner of the mouth looks droopy or, conversely, only one side looks up There are people I am concerned about. At first, it is easy to dismiss it as just a facial expression habit, but over time, you may notice that your overall facial impression looks different. Asymmetry of the corners of the mouth is It may not be just a problem with the visible shape of the lips. In this column Causes of Asymmetry in Corners of the Lip and Non-Surgical Treatment Approaches I will organize it step by step. 📘 What is the root cause of asymmetry in the corners of the mouth? 💡 Asymmetry of the corners of the mouth can be linked not only to the shape of the lips but also to issues with the balance between the upper and lower jaws. It is easy to think of asymmetry in the corners of the mouth as simply a problem around the mouth, but Misalignment of the skeletal positions of the maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw) This is often the root cause. 📌In other words, behind the visible difference in the mouth shape Problems with the balance of the facial central axis and the jaw It means that they can be together. In this case, rather than trying to correct only the corners of the mouth, An approach that examines the balance between the lower and upper jaws together This is important. To this end Facial bone correction By doing so, correct the basic balance and establish a foundation so that the position of the corners of the mouth does not remain a temporary change. It loses. for example, This may apply to cases where one side of the mouth appears more droopy than the other whenever a photo is taken, or where the left and right sides look different in height when smiling. 🔸 If you've been constantly bothered by only one corner of your mouth 🔸 Don't view it as just a simple facial expression habit 🔸 A perspective that also considers skeletal balance This may be necessary 📘 How do you treat lips with unnatural movement? If the movement of the muscles around your mouth has become unbalanced, you may need to go through a process of relearning natural movements. . If lip asymmetry occurs Nerve signals that move the muscles around the mouth can gradually become imbalanced. It is. At this time, it is not simply a matter of changing the shape, A direction that naturally retrains the movement itself. Access it as. ✔️To this end Low-frequency current stimulation Naturally relearn the movement of the levator labii superioris muscle by utilizing I will make you do it. ✔️Also High-frequency thermal stimulation By combining this to improve skin sagging around the corners of the mouth and elasticity We are raising it. Simply put, In cases where the movement of one corner of the mouth is awkward or one side rises less than the other when smiling A process of inducing more natural muscle movements It can be understood as. 🔸 Low-frequency electrical stimulation: Muscle movement relearning 🔸 High-frequency thermal stimulation: Improves sagging and elasticity around the corners of the mouth 🔸 Goal: More natural and defined mouth shape ⚠️ Since the treatment intensity or method of application may vary depending on the individual's condition, The process of first verifying the current asymmetric patterns and movement states This is important. 📘 How can muscle adhesions that cause the corners of the mouth to droop be resolved? 💡 If there is a strong downward pulling force on the corners of the mouth or adhesions, an approach to relax them may be necessary. . As a cause of the corners of the mouth drooping downward Muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward Pulling force of the Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) , and Thin under the skin Fascial layer (SMAS layer) There is a problem. In this case, rather than simply pulling it up from the outside, An approach that alleviates the causes of sagging together This can be seen as necessary. To this end Adhesion lysis Using Gently relaxes areas where muscles and fascia are adhered, It can alleviate the drooping movement of the corners of the mouth and simultaneously strengthen the Levator Labii Superioris (LLS). It is. Through this process A natural smile that isn't forced , and Forming a smooth front cheek line You can expect up to this point. For example, if one corner of the mouth appears to drop lower even when at rest, or if the shape of the mouth looks unnaturally bent when smiling, this approach may be considered. 🔸 Relieving the downward pull of the corners of the mouth 🔸 Relaxation of adhered areas 🔸 Helps create a natural smile line FAQ Q1. Are skeletal correction or adhesion lysis very painful? A1. The degree to which it is felt varies from person to person, but They explain that since it is performed using non-surgical methods, most people can undergo it without significant discomfort. In addition, adhesion lysis is It is possible to proceed with minimal pain by using a treatment tool of fine thickness. Q2. What does electrical stimulation therapy for neural relearning feel like? A2. Stimulation like low-frequency current gently tapping the muscles It may feel like... It is a process of awakening the movement of stiff muscles around the mouth, after the procedure The mouth feels much lighter You can receive. Q3. How many sessions does it usually take to see the effects of the treatment? A3. You can see immediate results from a single treatment, but , in order to completely change the misaligned skeletal and muscular memory, depending on the condition 3 to 10 treatment sessions are recommended. do. conclusion Losing a tooth may not simply mean the creation of a single empty space. As time passes Tilting of surrounding teeth, changes in occlusion, alveolar bone resorption This is because multiple changes can follow together, like this. In particular, it is important not to overlook the fact that a problem that initially appears small can later lead to more extensive treatment. This does not mean you must rush to decide on treatment, but Checking the current state first and establishing criteria for judgment It is necessary. 📌 Even if the discomfort is not significant, if the period of neglect is prolonged, it may be helpful to have it checked at least once. ✨ Please carefully determine the best direction for your dental condition through a consultation with a medical professional.

hello. Dr. Hyunwoo Cho, Director of 3D Plastic Surgery no see. Because it makes your face look long Have you ever considered double jaw surgery? In fact, when I consult with people, many of them ask, “Is double jaw surgery the answer for a long face?” but When it comes to long face plastic surgery, it is most important to first determine the cause of the long face. Because the surgical method needed can be completely different depending on which part of the face appears longer. today In what cases is long face/long chin surgery necessary, and when is bimaxillary surgery necessary? Let me explain with a real-life example. ✨ How do you judge a long face? ? 📌 Face length is determined by the 'ratio of thirds' . The human face can be broadly divided into three parts. ✔️ Upper face: Forehead ~ eyebrows ✔️ Midface: Eyebrows ~ tip of nose ✔️ Lower face: Tip of nose ~ tip of chin Usually these three sections A natural and harmonious face with balanced proportions It appears to be. But if one part of this gets too long, An impression that makes the entire face look longer This can happen. for example If the distance from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose is long → A face with a long midface If the distance from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin is long → A face with a long lower face like Depending on where you are looking, the solution will vary. 📌 So, in long face plastic surgery, An accurate diagnosis of where the length appears to be long is most important. If I have a long face, do I absolutely need double jaw surgery? ? 📌 If the midface is long, double jaw surgery may be necessary. . From eyebrow to tip of nose If the midface is long In the figure below, marked in red maxilla Reduce the length of Double jaw surgery There are times when this is necessary. Especially when you laugh If you see a lot of teeth When the gums are excessively exposed The position and length of the upper jaw can have an effect. But there is an important point. Through double jaw surgery Bone length can be reduced, but There are limits to changing the position of the nose or the soft tissue itself. in other words ✔ Bone length may decrease ✔ The apparent mid-face length may not change significantly. so Not all long faces are candidates for bimaxillary surgery. ⚠️ Accurate judgment requires professional diagnosis. What kind of surgery is done to make the chin look longer? ? 📌 If the lower face is long, it can be improved with contouring surgery. . From the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin A face with a long lower face If so It can be improved with relatively simple contouring surgery. A typical method is Long curve resection, chin surgery no see. If the jawbone is greatly developed Reduce chin length Balance the lower jaw It can help alleviate the feeling of your face looking longer. As needed Perform square jaw surgery together underneath It can help create more natural facial proportions. How would actual long chin patient cases differ? ? 📌 This is a case where the facial proportions were improved by adjusting the balance between the chin length and the lower jaw. . From the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin Haan-myeon Long face with a long beak If so It can be improved with relatively simple contouring surgery. One patient was admitted to the hospital Considering double jaw surgery You were doing it. But the CT scan results The front chin is long The lower jaw was widely developed. In this case ✔ Long curve resection ✔ Lower jaw bone reduction (LBO) Through Direction to reduce the overall length of the lower jaw The surgery was performed. If you check the CT after surgery, The length of the front chin is reduced As the lower jaw becomes more balanced, I could see that the impression that the face was long had been greatly alleviated. 📌 It's not just about reducing the length It is important to consider both facial proportions and balance. What is the most important thing in long face surgery? ? 📌 What's more important than face length is 'proportion' . Many people Make your chin shorter, smaller I think it will be pretty if you make it. But the face eye, nose, chin, Each element It's important to strike a balance. for example Make the chin shorter unconditionally If you cut the bone like in a typical square jaw surgery, Rather, it may break the facial proportions. In this case ⚠️ If your face looks awkward ⚠️ In some cases, it may appear longer than before surgery. so In long face surgery, design that takes proportions into account is key. When we look at patients who come to check their progress after surgery, Than the face changed I feel like my expression has brightened There are many times when I receive it. Changes in appearance are important, but ✔ Confidence ✔ Change in facial expression There are also cases where you feel positive changes in the same area. Seeing this kind of sight makes me feel rewarded as a medical professional. 😊 FAQ ❓ Q1. Can a secondary angle develop after square jaw surgery? ? A1. If you perform square jaw surgery without chin surgery, an angle may develop at the starting point of the resection. If the secondary angle is not severe, it can be corrected with simple shaving. In severe cases, additional surgery may be required along with chin surgery. Q2. Can a long mid-face be corrected with contouring surgery? ? A2. In cases where the midface is long, bimaxillary surgery is often more effective. However, if there is no dental malocclusion and bimaxillary surgery is too risky, procedures such as philtrum reduction surgery may be considered. A more accurate assessment is best made through consultation following a CT scan. Q3. Can contouring surgery shave as much bone as desired? ? A3. Contouring surgery is not a procedure that allows you to freely shape the area as desired. The extent of resection is limited by the thickness of the cheekbones and the location of the mandibular nerve. Conclusion 🧾 In long face and long chin plastic surgery The most important thing is an accurate diagnosis. Because my face looks long ✔ It is not always necessary to have double jaw surgery ✔ It is not necessary to necessarily reduce the chin. 📌 Which part of the face makes it look longer? 📌 How to balance the overall proportions of the face These two things must be considered together. So if you are considering surgery ✨ First, you need to find the method that is right for you through a CT scan and accurate consultation. Also, rather than just listening to one opinion, It is recommended that you seek consultation from several hospitals and make a careful decision. 3D plastic surgery CEO Cho Hyun-woo Graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine Yonsei University Graduate School, Master of Medicine Severance Hospital plastic surgery specialist Severance Hospital Plastic Surgery Visiting Professor Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery regular member Korean Society of Craniofacial Plastic Surgeons regular member International Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ISAPS) member Regular member of the Korean Society for Surgery of the Hand Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons regular member Executive Director of the Minimally Invasive Plastic Surgery Research Association Director of Hyun 3D Plastic Surgery Clinic Experience in facial contouring treatment 21 year

최우혁 원장26.03.03Views 225Likes 0 [Health Column] A Groundbreaking Way to Reduce Implant Duration and Side Effects! The "One-Day Highness System" ✨[6]
hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. One of the most common complaints I hear when considering implant treatment is, "It takes a long time." 🦷 In fact, general implants often take several months due to the osseointegration process. So, there are quite a few people who delay or hesitate to seek treatment. However, if conditions such as the condition of the gum bone are met, there is a way to efficiently shorten the treatment process. In this column, we will discuss ways to reduce the treatment period. One-day Highness System Let's take a look at it. 1. Why does implant treatment take a long time? ? 👋 It takes enough time due to the osseointegration process. . Implants are not simply about putting teeth in. The artificial tooth root that acts as the root must be attached to the gum bone of our body as if it were one body. 'Osteointegration' Time is of the essence. This step usually takes several months, but under certain conditions, the process can be significantly shortened. 2. What kind of treatment is the One-Day Highness System? ? 👋 From extraction to temporary prosthesis connection, ‘just 3 days’ is enough. Unlike the conventional method, the key is to perform implantation and temporary prosthesis connection simultaneously immediately after extraction. 🔹 Safety : There is no separation of parts after setting, so the gingival (gum) formation is solid and the risk of screw loosening or breakage is minimized. 🔹 Convenience : Because the model is taken using a digital oral scan, the process is very simple and there is little pain. 🔹 nicety : No adhesive (cement) used We prevent related complications at the source and reduce errors through digital precision manufacturing. 3. Why is Highness Digital Prosthesis better? 👋 Because recovery is quick and there is less worry about complications. . 📌 Actual changes felt by patients Time saving : Treatment period compared to existing At least 3 months It can be reduced and the number of visits is also reduced. Pain reduction : There is minimal bleeding and swelling, allowing for a very quick return to normal activities. Gum health : Since no adhesive is used, there is no gum irritation and the risk of complications such as peri-implantitis is low. Sophistication : The entire process is digitized, so it fits perfectly, with almost no need for any modifications in the mouth. 4. How can it be produced in '1 Day'? ? 👋 Because we have a system of collaboration between the in-house dental laboratory and specialists. . In-house dental laboratory : Our skilled technicians are on-site and produce patient-specific prosthetics on the same day without any errors. cutting-edge digital equipment : High-performance scanner precisely identifies oral structure and provides immediate diagnosis. Collaboration with 6 departments : Specialists in various fields, including prosthodontics and orthodontics, are on site, allowing for comprehensive treatment in one place. ❓ FAQ Q1. Is one-day implant really completed in one day? ? A1. This treatment method involves surgery and temporary prosthesis placement in a single day. The final prosthesis completion time varies depending on the individual's condition. The key is to shorten the treatment period compared to conventional implants. Q2. If I get treatment too quickly, won't the success rate decrease? ? A2. A shorter period does not necessarily mean a lower success rate; an accurate diagnosis and fulfillment of the conditions are prerequisites. This applies only when the gum bone condition is stable. Q3. Is it okay to use the temporary prosthesis right away? A3. Daily conversation and eating are possible, but you will be instructed to avoid excessive chewing movements in the early stages. 📝 conclusion The One-Day Highness System is not simply a “quick implant,” but rather a way to safely shorten the treatment period when conditions are met. In particular, the decision on whether to apply it is made after comprehensively considering the amount and density of alveolar bone, presence of gum inflammation, and general condition. ✔️ Stability is more important than speed ✔️ Not all treatments are equally applicable to all patients ✔️ Accurate diagnosis is the standard for treatment direction If you are experiencing discomfort in your daily life, it is important to first check your current oral condition rather than rushing to treatment. We recommend that you carefully determine the treatment plan that's right for you through professional consultation. ✨ Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Director Jeong Jae-wook Ministry of Health and Welfare, Dental Prosthodontics Specialist Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry Graduated with a master's degree from Yonsei University School of Dentistry Intern at Yonsei University Sinchon Severance Hospital , Prosthodontics Residency Completion Korean Academy of Prosthodontics, recognized and full member Korean Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology (KAOMI) Premium Member Regular member of the Korean Society of Temporomandibular Joint and Occlusion Full member of the Korean Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry jeon ) Adjunct Professor, Yonsei University College of Dentistry jeon ) Former Director of Yonsei Good Day Dental Clinic Yangjae Branch hyeon ) Korean Academy of Prosthodontics, Board of Review , Expert Committee/Academic Affairs Committee hyeon ) Korean Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology (KAOMI) Director of Academic Planning See more expert columns on laminates > [Health Column] Is Dental Laminates Really "No Prep"?

hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. Have you ever felt concerned about your teeth turning yellow? 🦷 Tooth discoloration may seem like a simple cosmetic issue, but it can be a sign of both your lifestyle and the condition of your teeth.

In this article, we will provide an easy-to-understand summary of practical solutions to tooth discoloration based on its causes. 1. How do tooth discoloration management methods differ depending on the cause? ? 👋 Tooth discoloration management strategies vary depending on whether the cause is extrinsic or intrinsic. . Tooth discoloration is a major When pigment builds up on the surface of the teeth and, When it occurs due to a change in the color of the inside of the tooth can be divided into Even if it looks like the same color change, the cause is different. Approaches may vary, including scaling, lifestyle management, and professional treatment. Example 🪥 If it turns yellow due to coffee, wine, etc. Teeth that have become increasingly darker after trauma ✔️Advice Rather than judging only by the colors you see After identifying the cause, it is important to choose the appropriate management method. 2. Can extrinsic discoloration be improved through lifestyle management alone? ? 👋 Extrinsic discoloration can be alleviated through lifestyle changes and regular care. . Extrinsic discoloration is discoloration that occurs when pigment is deposited on the tooth surface. It is often influenced by food, drinks, and lifestyle habits. ☕ 🔹How to manage Reduce your intake of coffee, red wine, and carbonated drinks Rinse with water after eating food that causes staining Reduce tooth contact area by using a straw Smoke-free lifestyle Regular scaling Scaling in particular removes tartar and plaque. Reduces the area where stains remain and smoothens the tooth surface It helps to prevent pigments from sticking. Example 🥤 People who drink coffee often Just making it a habit to rinse immediately after consumption can help manage discoloration. ✔️Advice The earlier the pigmentation, the better it is to combine lifestyle management and regular checkups. 3. Why is it difficult to improve intrinsic discoloration with scaling alone? ? 👋 Intrinsic discoloration is a change in the color of the teeth, and simple management alone has its limitations. . Intrinsic discoloration refers to changes in the color of the inside of the tooth, particularly the dentin. In this case, simple lifestyle management or scaling alone is not enough. Color improvement can be difficult. 🔸 Possible management and access Identifying the cause through regular checkups Professional whitening treatment performed at the dentist Cosmetic treatments such as prosthetic treatment or laminates Be careful about taking certain medications during tooth growth. Example 🦷 Teeth damaged by trauma during childhood This may be the case if it gets darker over time. Advice ⚠️ Internal discoloration may become darker the longer it is left untreated. It is important to get diagnosed early. ❓ FAQ Q1. I drink coffee often. Can I get whiter again by just using a whitening cream? ? A1. Most coffee-related discoloration is exogenous. While whitening can improve the discoloration, continued consumption can lead to rapid re-discoloration. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle after whitening helps maintain the results. Q2. Why do teeth that were injured during childhood gradually darken? ? A2. Teeth damaged by trauma may become discolored over time due to nerve changes, which may be typical of intrinsic discoloration. Early diagnosis is crucial for determining appropriate management. Q3. Can tooth discoloration be completely improved with scaling alone? ? A3. Scaling can help remove tartar and plaque and lighten extrinsic stains, but it may not be effective in addressing all discoloration. 📝 conclusion Tooth discoloration is not just a simple color change. It may be a sign that reflects both your lifestyle habits and the condition of your teeth. 📌 ✔️ Management methods may vary depending on the cause ✔️ There are cases where it is possible to manage life alone and cases where treatment is required. ✔️ The key is to accurately identify the cause through regular checkups. Even with the same discoloration, it can vary depending on the cause, progression, and condition of the teeth. Appropriate management and treatment plans may vary. Rather than judging solely by visible color changes, It is important to determine the management method that is right for you through consultation with a medical professional. It is an important standard for maintaining bright and healthy teeth for a long time. ✨ Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Director Jeong Jae-wook Ministry of Health and Welfare, Dental Prosthodontics Specialist Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry Graduated with a master's degree from Yonsei University School of Dentistry Intern at Yonsei University Sinchon Severance Hospital , Prosthodontics Residency Completion Korean Academy of Prosthodontics, recognized and full member Korean Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology (KAOMI) Premium Member Regular member of the Korean Society of Temporomandibular Joint and Occlusion Full member of the Korean Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry jeon ) Adjunct Professor, Yonsei University College of Dentistry jeon ) Former Director of Yonsei Good Day Dental Clinic Yangjae Branch hyeon ) Korean Academy of Prosthodontics, Board of Review , Expert Committee/Academic Affairs Committee hyeon ) Korean Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology (KAOMI) Director of Academic Planning See more expert columns on laminates > [Health Column] Is Dental Laminates Really "No Prep"?

정재욱 원장26.02.19Views 328Likes 5 [Health Column] How to Properly Avoid Health Checkup Tests That Do More Harm Than Good[8]
Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyuk. When you get a health checkup, you may wonder, “Do I really need to do this?” The list is growing, and not all tests are beneficial to my health. If unnecessary tests only increase radiation exposure and costs There are quite a few. Here A prosecutor who does more harm than good and Key tests you must take Let's clearly distinguish between them. Why should we 'select' health checkup items? 📢 More is not always better. The more health checkup items there are, the more reassuring you feel, but In reality Tests that only increase information but do not lead to action There are many too. ✔️ The purpose of the checkup is Early detection and manageability ⚠️ Even if discovered, a test that does not lead to management or treatment is of little value. ✔️ I Controllable tests The key is to choose based on your preferences What are the mandatory health checkups that the country requires? 📢 This is not an option, it's a default . 🔹 Nationally supported screening for the five major cancers stomach cancer : Gastroscopy colon cancer : Fecal occult blood test → If positive, colonoscopy liver cancer : Abdominal ultrasound (high-risk group) cervical cancer : Cervical cancer screening breast cancer : Mammography (age 40 or older) 👉 These items are The most basic of the basics , and it is an examination that cannot be missed. What is the starting point of all testing? 📢 The starting point of all health checkups is Blood and urine tests no see. ✔️ Check basic indicators such as anemia, liver function, blood sugar, and cholesterol ✔️ If there is something wrong with your body, it will be revealed first in numbers. ✔️ If there are any abnormal findings, consider imaging tests as the next step. 👉 It is not efficient to go straight to CT/MRI without this step. Why are ultrasound examinations so important? 📢 Less burden, more information . Ultrasound can examine organs in real time without radiation exposure. 🔸 Ultrasound examinations to consider Abdominal ultrasound : Regardless of gender, check regularly Thyroid ultrasound : Important even among young people Breast ultrasound (female) : Considered from a relatively early age ✔️ You can hear explanations right during the test Easy to understand the results and move on to the next action What additional tests should I consider based on my age and family history? 📢This test is not necessary for everyone. 🔹 Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular related coronary artery CT : If you have a family history of cardiovascular disease Brain MRA : If you are over 40 years old and have high blood pressure 👉 It only makes sense when there are certain risk factors. What health checkup items have more harm than good? 📢These items require caution. ⚠️ Abdominal CT without contrast enhancement Long-term distinction is limited Little information is available about radiation exposure. ⚠️ PET-CT (for evaluating metastasis in cancer patients) Tests for patients undergoing cancer treatment For healthy people High radiation burden ⚠️ MRI of the back and limbs without symptoms If there is no pain or symptoms, it is not effective for screening purposes. Low utilization of results ⚠️ Asymptomatic cardiac ultrasound No special tests required unless there are any abnormalities How should I decide on the timing and items for a health checkup? 📢Avoid peak season and only take care of the essentials. 📅 Choose a relatively quiet time compared to the peak season at the end of the year ✔️ Basic examination + national support screening + ultrasound center ⚠️ Other items Choose according to your situation FAQ Q1. Isn't it better to have more inspection items? A1. No. Testing that doesn't lead to management only creates confusion. Q2. Wouldn't it be better to get a CT or MRI scan at least once? A2. Imaging tests taken without symptoms or risk factors may do more harm than good. Q3. What should I do if I'm confused about which test to take? A3. It is safest to consult with a doctor based on the results of a basic checkup. conclusion ✔️ You don't need to do all the tests ✔️ Focusing on national support screening, basic examinations, and ultrasound ✔️ Choosing only the tests that are meaningful to you is the wisest way to manage your health. If necessary, definitely Decision made through consultation with a specialist do.

hello, Garnet Plastic Surgery Director Baek In-su no see. As I get older, the face in the mirror It looks unusually long There are times when I feel that way. Especially after 50, it is not just a feeling of sagging, The impression of a sunken area between the eyes and cheeks, with the center of the face collapsed This stands out. In this column, 🔹 Key changes in mid-facial aging in your 50s 🔹 What is the principle behind the restoration of the SOOF lower eyelid surgery? Let me organize it calmly. I will explain focusing on the points that people actually worry about the most. Why does mid-face aging in the 50s appear as 'lengthening and sunken'? 🟢The core of mid-face aging in your 50s is not sagging, Vertical elongation and volume loss no see. So why does this change occur? 🔸 Three key causes ✔️ Relaxation of the orbicularis oculi muscle and supporting ligaments → The boundary between the lower eyelid and the midface collapses, making the area under the eyes appear longer. ✔️ Anterior protrusion and downward displacement of orbital fat → The area under the eyes becomes bulging and the cheeks underneath become relatively sunken. ✔️ Midfacial fat pad descent and reduced bone support → The volume of the front of the face is reduced, and the tear trough and starting point of the nasolabial fold are emphasized. Because of this ✔ The gap between the under-eye area and the cheek area is getting bigger ✔ The center of the face appears long and sunken ✔ Overall Old eyes and tired appearance This is formed. What is the concept of restoration in SOOF lower eyelid surgery? 🟢Not just removal An approach to reconnecting the structure no see. Spoo Haan Black Surgery to structurally restore aging of the lower eyelids and midface no see. 🔹 1. Conservative repositioning of orbital fat Protruding fat Without removing , To the tear trough and mid-face sunken area Advancement/Redeployment do. ✔ Naturally connects the volume between the under-eye area and the cheek ✔ Prevents excessive turning off and artificial impression 🔹 2. Orbicularis oculi muscle-midfacial complex elevation Relaxed orbicularis oculi muscle and mid-facial soft tissue Fixation in the superolateral direction do. ✔ Prevents lower eyelid sagging ✔ Restores the midface to look short and elastic This is not a simple skin excision, Functional and structural repositioning It corresponds to . 🔹 3. Visual shortening of the midface length Under-eye-cheek border Reset upward As it becomes ✔ The vertical length of the midface appears short ✔ Restores the impression of a condensed center of the face ✨ What changes can I expect with a Spu Haan eyelid lift? 🟢More than 'getting younger' Comfortable and stable impression change is the key. 🔸 Major changes to expect ✔ Reduces under-eye puffiness ✔ Improvement of tear troughs and dark circles ✔ Midfacial depression restoration ✔ Effect of shortening the vertical length of the midface ✔ Tired impression → Clear and stable impression Especially in the 50s Rather than “while” “You look healthier”, “Your impression has become more relaxed”, the changes are noticeable. Are there any post-operative procedures or precautions? 🟢It is important to know the recovery process and possible side effects in advance. 🔹 General postoperative course Pain: Mild (controllable with over-the-counter painkillers) Swelling: 1-2 weeks, residual swelling: 3-4 weeks Bruise: Varies from person to person 🔹 Possible side effects temporary conjunctival edema Left-right asymmetry (most improves during recovery) ⚠️ Risk of hallux valgus with excessive traction → Setting the correct fixed point is important FAQ Q1. What is the difference between Spoo lower eyelid surgery and regular lower eyelid surgery? A1. If the general lower eyelid surgery focuses on fat removal, the Spu lower eyelid surgery focuses on Preserve and redistribute the fat and restore the midface as well. The biggest difference is what you do. Q2. I had surgery under my eyes. Can the mid-face also improve? A2. It is possible. The lower eyelid and the midface are connected by the orbicularis oculi muscle and ligaments, so through suspension Visual improvement of the midface to make it look shorter and more elastic You can expect. Q3. If I don't remove the fat, won't it bulge again? A3. Properly redistributed fat is rather Role in filling sunken areas , and the likelihood of recurrence is low. Conclusion ✨ ✔ The key to mid-face aging in your 50s is Lengthening and sinking ✔ Spoo Haan Black Restructuring, not removal Surgery focused on ✔ The change in impression is more than ‘excessive age’ A comfortable and stable face However, aging continues, 📌 Results may vary depending on individual skin elasticity and lifestyle habits.

hello, 3D plastic surgery Researching rejuvenating and youthful surgery in Dr. Jae-won Heo, a plastic surgeon no see. Forehead Giant When I consult, I often get asked, “Does the fixed method determine the outcome?” especially Bontunneling, Endotine, Fixstein There are many concerns about which one is better. today The actual significance of the fixation method in the results of forehead augmentation Let me explain it to you calmly from the perspective of surgical structure. 1. Is the fixation method really the key in forehead augmentation? ? 🎯 The biggest factor that determines the result is the 'exfoliation range'. . Many people think that the fixation method itself determines the result, but The most important part for me in surgery is How wide and precisely was the peeling done? no see. (To put it simply, it is more important how well the skin is loosened to allow movement.) ✔️ The fixing method is Fine-tuning eyebrow shape may affect ✔️ But the key to the overall lifting effect is Scope of surgery is in. for example, If the peeling is already sufficiently well done No matter what fixation method you use, Stable results You can expect 2. Is forehead augmentation a surgery that can be adjusted in 1mm increments? 🎯Setting goals that take recovery into account is more important than precise figures. . During consultations, I often get asked, “Can you raise my eyebrows by 4mm?” To conclude, Forehead augmentation is not a surgery that is adjusted in 1mm increments like double eyelid surgery. ✔️ Even if it looks good right after surgery, ✔️ On average, over time, about It comes down again by about 3mm. If the skin is thick and tough, the recovery amount is greater. Conversely, sagging and soft skin may require less recovery. So before the surgery Based on the “final target location” Set the degree of lifting during surgery by calculating backwards do. This is not a sensory judgment, A computational approach based on experience no see. 3. What is the difference between Bontunneling and Endotine/Fixstein? 🎯There are differences in the number of fixed points, ease of adjustment, and cost. . In the case of forehead lift, the skin is sufficiently loosened through peeling. The ascended state You get to decide how you're going to 'hold on'. The method used at this time is ✔️Fixed with sutures Bontunneling , ✔️ Fixing using a device Endotine and Fixstein no see. ① Number of fixed points Endotine and Fixstein : Approximately 5 fixed points per device When using 2, a total of 10 fixed points are formed. Bontunneling : 1 suture per tunnel → 1 anchor point A total of 3 fixed points when implemented in 3 locations ✔️ Mechanically, Endotine and Fixstein have more holding power. ✔️ But The result is sufficiently stable with just the main tunneling. You can get it. 👉 It's the same principle as passing an exam where 50 points is the passing score, and both 60 and 80 points are passing points. Endotine Bontunneling ② Ease of adjustment during surgery Endotine and Fixstein It is a structure that fixes the tissue as if 'hanging' it during surgery. Fine-tuning is relatively easy . ✔️ “Should I raise it a little more?” ✔️ “Should I pull a little less?” You can respond immediately to these judgments. the other side The main tunneling method is tied with sutures. Because of this Once you tie it, you have to untie it and re-tunnel it! ⚠️ → That much Surgery that requires accurate judgment at once no see. ③ Cost and perceived effectiveness Both Endotine and Fixstein Devices with high material costs no see. Endotine, in particular, is an imported product and carries a greater cost burden. ✔️ But The difference in perceived effectiveness compared to the price is not that great. no see. ✔️ Rather, some patients Foreign body sensation/nerve irritation It can also be uncomfortable. So I I don’t see “expensive fixation = unconditionally better results.” 4. Which fixation method should I choose? ? 🎯Both methods can be good enough options depending on the patient's condition. To summarize, I can say this. ✨ Surgically, Endotine and Fixstein may be a little more convenient. ✨ You can get good results just by tunneling. What's important is ✔️ Skin thickness ✔️ Degree of sagging ✔️ Individual recovery characteristics Taking all these factors into account Choosing the right method no see. Rather than having a preconceived notion of a particular fixed method, Choose after understanding the surgical principles What you do is most important. FAQ ❓ Q1. Is it effective to peel off the forehead area up to the brow bone? A1. If your goal is to improve sagging eyelids, most procedures require access to the upper eyelid area to achieve optimal results. During surgery, I personally palpate the area to confirm the extent of the exfoliation before proceeding. Q2. Is a 3-point incision sufficient for temporal (temporal) dissection? A2. 3-point incision is a surgical method that involves making three small incisions on the forehead and performing the surgery using an endoscope. Temporal dissection can be performed using an endoscope using a three-point approach. However, in some cases, additional incisions may make the surgery easier. Q3. Does the effect increase if a large amount of the corrugator muscle is removed? A3. The corrugator magnus is the muscle that triggers frowning. Complete removal can cause a sunken forehead. Rather than complete removal, I prefer endoscopic manipulation of the causative muscle fibers. conclusion ✔️ On the forehead The fixed method is not everything. ✔️ The extent of the surgery and individual recovery characteristics have a greater impact on the outcome. ✔️ Rather than blindly sticking to a specific method, Select the right one for your situation This is important. ⚠️ All surgeries are individualized.

A commonly used standard for assessing the balance of a profile is the Ricketts line. When connected from the tip of the nose to the chin, The upper lip is about 4mm The lower lip is the line located about 2 mm behind. However, this standard It is somewhat different from the ideal side view currently preferred in Korea. There is In actual treatment, we consider the individual's facial shape and harmony. “What’s more important than numbers is Balance of the entire face no see." What are my options for chin-free correction? 📌 There are three main methods for mandibular advancement: .

Why are senior implants different from the consultation stage? 🔸The safety of surgery is determined in the consultation room, not on the operating table. The biggest feature of senior implants is General health and medications The point is that these must be considered together. Not only blood pressure medication and diabetes medication, Osteoporosis medications or blood clot dissolvers Is Because it directly affects hemostasis and bone regeneration. Pre-check is required Yes. “Quitting medication unconditionally isn’t the answer.” If you stop without thinking, it can be more dangerous. so Whether or not to adjust is determined through internal medicine consultation or close review.

hello, Director Lee Hyeon-seop of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. It is easy to think of implants as a “treatment that just ends with implantation”, In reality A long recovery process called osseointegration Determine this success do. Especially since smoking directly and indirectly affects this process, Many people ask, “When can I start smoking?” What's actually important is Do you smoke/don't you smoke? Not, 👉 Which time is the most dangerous? , 👉 What Leads to Failure , 👉 How far should we realistically manage? no see. Why is smoking a problem after implants? 🦷 This is because factors that hinder recovery occur intensively during the osseointegration stage. ✔️ Recovery is delayed due to reduced blood flow Nicotine constricts peripheral blood vessels. Blocking the supply of oxygen and nutrients do. Because blood flow is your lifeline in early recovery, smoking during this stage can make even small problems bigger. ✔️ The characteristic of 'masking' inflammation signals Smokers have inflammation In cases where pain and bleeding are minimal There is. Even if it looks fine on the outside, problems can develop internally, so peri-implantitis is often discovered late. ✔️ Increased risk of osseointegration failure Implants are a treatment that must be firmly attached to the bone, but smoking Inhibits bone cell activity itself It is known to do so. As a result, there is a risk that the initial fixation will weaken or lead to shaking over time. So then, how should we set the ‘standard’? 🦷It is crucial to accurately identify the most dangerous times. Let me give you a more realistic standard than “I absolutely must quit smoking for the rest of my life!” The risk periods are the two sections below. 🔸 ① Immediately after surgery ~ 2 weeks The wound begins to heal Early clot formation (think of a clot as the "early stage of scab" that naturally forms over a new wound! It's a must-have.) ➡️ Smoking during this period Risk of early recovery failure This high 🔸 ② 1-3 months after surgery The key steps in which osseointegration actually takes place ➡️ The section where the failure rate increases statistically significantly ⚠️ What if osseointegration is complete? Smoking does not cause implants to fall out or become loose. however Peri-implantitis, gum bone resorption, and shortened prosthesis lifespan The risk is clearly increased That is, the two realistic management standards are: ✔ At least The period for bone fusion is a thorough smoking cessation. ✔ Even after that Regular checkups + hygiene management Is it possible? FAQ Q1. Is it okay to smoke after bone fusion is complete? A1. It does not directly lead to elimination, but Peri-implantitis, bone resorption, and reduced prosthesis lifespan The danger persists. Ultimately, this means that management difficulty increases. Q2. Is 'one or two cigarettes occasionally' a problem? A2. Even a small amount may hinder recovery during the osseointegration stage. It is safe to avoid smoking for at least this period. . Q3. Can inflammation pass without pain? A3. Smokers have higher inflammatory signals. Expressed weakly There are cases where things may look fine on the outside, but problems may be developing internally. conclusion Smoking after implant It is not a question of will, but a “question of timing.” In particular, it is most important to know the following three things: When is it most dangerous? How to get through that period How to adjust your treatment plan based on whether you smoke or not Implants are not a treatment that ends the moment they are placed. A treatment that takes time to complete no see. By accurately understanding your condition and setting realistic standards, you can keep your implants healthy for a long time.

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?

But above that, there are many layers of soft tissue, including skin, fat, muscles, connective tissue, and even salivary glands. So even if the bone is reduced, if the above tissue does not reduce at the same rate, the expected change may not be seen, and instead, a double chin may become more prominent. especially, Square jaw reduction Masseter resection Cortical bone resection Chin T-osteotomy / S-osteotomy / Rotational cutting, etc. As most of it is progressing in the 'reducing direction', Those with thick soft tissue may have more prominent relative volume. There is.🔹 In other words, contouring surgery is a 'bone-refining surgery', and a double chin is completed by considering 'soft tissue issues' as well. 2. What are the main causes of a double chin occurring or worsening after contouring surgery? 🎯There are three main structural factors at work. all. 1. Deletion of the digastric muscle Chin reduction process In some procedures, the biceps femoris muscle may be separated from the bone. In this case, the muscles may sag and bunch up, giving the appearance of a double chin. So, when doing a second surgery The process of re-anchoring the abdominal muscles + fat adjustment These are considered together. 2. Submandibular gland protrusion After square jaw surgery , The salivary glands that were previously covered by the jawbone may be exposed and revealed as an outer contour. So, what looks smooth on CT may appear bumpy in the mirror. In this case, it may be difficult to correct with just simple botox treatment. Situations where actual surgical reduction or partial resection is required This can happen. (Treatment method determination requires a specialist evaluation.) 3. Subplatysmal fat accumulation If you reduce the jawbone The space becomes smaller and the fat underneath becomes compressed and lumpy. This fat cannot be resolved with just regular liposuction. Removal after precise layer separation through submandibular approach is important. (Removed submandibular gland, biceps muscle, and submandibular fat) 3. How can these problems be solved? 🎯Multi-level approach is possible with only a 2–3cm incision below the chin. . Fortunately, most of the above problems Correction is possible with just a 2-3cm incision under the chin. do. With one incision line, ✔ Remove submuscular fat ✔ Re-fixing the double chin ✔ Submandibular gland reduction can be done simultaneously. Surgery to address problems that cannot be solved with simple liposuction A perspective on 'submental rejuvenation' Access is required from . thus double chin surgery The following structures must be considered together: submuscular fat Lee Bok-geun Axillary line These three factors must be accurately assessed and included in the treatment plan. The “beautiful jawline” seen on CT scans is naturally implemented on the actual face. 4. What is the recovery process like? ? 1~2 weeks : Swelling, pulling, discomfort 1~3 months : Organizational stabilization phase 3~6 months : Final outline cleaning stage Although there are individual differences, the initial discomfort tends to be alleviated relatively quickly. The final line will naturally settle after a sufficient recovery period. FAQ ❓ Q1. How long does the recovery period take? A1. Initial swelling and discomfort usually subside within a few weeks, and tissue stabilization occurs over several months, although this varies from person to person. Q2. Are there any side effects from double chin surgery? A2. It is important to consult a specialist and receive a prior evaluation as there may be changes in sensation, changes in saliva secretion, persistent swelling, inflammation, and nerve-related discomfort. Q3. What is the difference between this and a neck lift? A3. Neck lift surgery focuses on improving sagging and wrinkles throughout the neck, while double chin surgery focuses on improving Focus on improving the central area under the chin and jaw line There is a difference between which method is appropriate. Assessing the cause is most important Conclusion 🧾 Contouring surgery is a powerful bone correction method, but It can be disappointing to not address soft tissue issues when completing the contour. Why a Double Chin Remains After Contouring Surgery is not just fat, ✔ Muscle ✔ Salivary glands ✔ Submuscular fat This is because many factors work together in a complex manner.

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

Check items check My front teeth don't touch when I close my mouth. ☐ Use only one molar when chewing food ☐ Pronunciation is leaky or inaccurate ☐ When you smile, your teeth are not visible and there is space. ☐ I often hear noises or feel a dull ache in my jaw. ☐ I had a habit of sucking my thumb and sticking my tongue out when I was young. ☐ 3.

최우혁 원장25.03.25Views 6966Likes 7 [Health Column] Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Symptoms and Treatment Methods[7]
Director Choi Woo-hyuk Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyuk. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that occurs after an individual experiences or witnesses a life-threatening event or severe injury. These traumatic events can include war, natural disasters, serious accidents, violence, and sexual assault, among others, and PTSD is defined as a psychological response that appears following such incidents. Main symptoms of PTSD The symptoms of PTSD are broadly classified into four categories: - Reexperiencing Trauma: The phenomenon of repeatedly recalling the traumatic event or having nightmares about it. This can also manifest as flashbacks, causing the individual to relive the emotions and physical responses experienced at the time. - Avoidance symptoms: behaviors aimed at deliberately avoiding thoughts, feelings, places, or people related to trauma. This can lead to a decrease in daily activities and social isolation. - Negative cognition and emotional changes: Negative beliefs about oneself or others, persistent fears, anger, guilt, and other emotional changes appear. This can lead to decreased interest, emotional blunting, and forgetting traumatic experiences. - Hyperarousal symptoms: Hyperarousal leads to heightened anxiety, resulting in hypersensitivity, sleep disturbances, decreased concentration, and excessive vigilance. This can manifest as easily startling or irritability. Some PTSD patients may experience dissociative symptoms after traumatic events. Dissociative symptoms refer to phenomena where individuals experience amnesia or temporary separation or disconnection of consciousness, identity, or emotions. In particular, those with a history of childhood abuse, neglect, or psychological trauma are more likely to exhibit dissociative symptoms. This is because stress caused by trauma can impair the ability to integrate consciousness and memory. PTSD treatment methods Treatment for PTSD mainly involves psychotherapy and medication. - Psychotherapy: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and others are known to be effective. These treatments help reconstruct negative cognitions and emotions related to traumatic events and reduce avoidance behaviors. - Pharmacotherapy: Medications effective for various PTSD symptoms, including antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), are used. These medications can include those for re-experiencing, hyperarousal, anxiety, and depression. Pharmacotherapy can be used in conjunction with psychotherapy to help alleviate symptoms. PTSD brain injury PTSD is a mental health issue that appears after experiencing a severe traumatic event and can cause brain damage. Studies show that the hippocampus in PTSD patients shrinks, which can affect memory and learning abilities, and hyperactivation of the amygdala can lead to excessive fear responses. Additionally, decreased function of the prefrontal cortex can impair emotional regulation and decision-making abilities. These brain changes are closely related to the severity of PTSD symptoms. PTSD diagnostic criteria The diagnosis of PTSD is made by mental health professionals, and the main diagnostic criteria are as follows: Experience of traumatic incidents: actual or threatening death, serious injuries, sexual violence, or witnessing such events. - Re-experiencing symptoms: recurrent recollections of traumatic events, nightmares, flashbacks, etc. - Avoidance symptoms: behaviors aimed at avoiding trauma-related thoughts, feelings, places, and people. - Negative changes in cognition and emotion: negative beliefs about oneself or others, persistent negative feelings, decreased interest, etc. - Hyperarousal symptoms: hypersensitivity, sleep disturbances, decreased concentration, excessive vigilance, etc. If these symptoms persist for more than a month and significantly interfere with daily life, they can be diagnosed as PTSD. Limitations of self-diagnosis and self-treatment of PTSD PTSD involves complex symptoms, so self-diagnosis and self-treatment have limitations. For accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, evaluation and guidance by a psychiatrist specializing in mental health are essential. Therefore, if symptoms are suspected, it is important to visit a specialized medical institution for consultation. The difference between PTSD and trauma 'Trauma' refers to the psychological wounds or shocking events experienced by an individual, which can be the cause of PTSD. On the other hand, PTSD is a specific mental health disorder that appears after such trauma, encompassing various symptoms mentioned earlier. Therefore, trauma refers to the event itself, while PTSD denotes the resulting condition. Difference between PTSD and Panic Disorder PTSD and panic disorder both fall under anxiety disorders, but they differ in their causes and symptoms. PTSD occurs after a traumatic event and is characterized by flashbacks, nightmares, and avoidance behaviors related to the event. In contrast, panic disorder is characterized by recurrent sudden panic attacks without a specific trigger. Therefore, different treatment approaches are applied to each disorder. PTSD is a disorder that can seriously affect an individual's life, but recovery is possible through proper treatment. If you suspect symptoms or are experiencing difficulties, do not hesitate to seek professional help. With accurate diagnosis and treatment, you can return to a healthy daily life.
