Even though they look similar on the outside ✔ Jawbone problems ✔ Teeth alignment problems ✔ Complex causes etc. Because the causes are different. today Causes of Adult Prognathism and Nonsurgical Correction Possibilities Let's learn about it. 1. What is a prognathism? ? 👋 An occlusion in which the lower teeth are positioned in front of the upper teeth. Medically speaking, prognathism is Crossbite It is called. Unlike normal tooth occlusion (occlusion), A condition in which the lower teeth are positioned in front of the upper teeth. It means. If this condition persists, it will go beyond a simple appearance problem. ✔ Difficulty chewing food ✔ Pronunciation becomes awkward ✔ Temporomandibular joint strain same functional discomfort These may appear together. 📌 Prognathism is broadly divided into two types. skeletal crossbite → Jawbone problems Dental crossbite → Teeth alignment problems Even though it's the same chin Treatment methods vary depending on the cause. 2. What is skeletal crossbite due to maxillary hypoplasia? ? 👋 When the upper jaw growth is insufficient and the lower jaw appears to protrude : This type is actually It's not that the lower jaw is big If the upper jaw is narrow or positioned backwards There are many. 📌 Features 🔸 Your face looks flat 🔸 An impression where the mid-face appears sunken 🔸 If the upper jaw width is narrow In this case Non-surgical correction is possible. ✔ Use of arch expander (orthodontic device that widens the width of the upper jaw teeth arrangement) ✔ Expanding the width of the upper jaw gum bone ✔ Secure space for dental structure It's not just about pushing teeth out. The key to treatment is securing the spatial structure of the teeth. no see. 3. How is skeletal prognathism caused by mandibular overgrowth different? ? 👋 If the lower jaw itself has grown excessively : This type is commonly referred to as Skeletal prognathism It corresponds to . 📌 characteristic 🔸 The tip of the chin protrudes when viewed from the side 🔸 The lower part of the face looks longer 🔸 The jaw line looks strong In this case, the treatment principles are as follows: ✔ Fundamental solution → surgical correction recommended However, in the following cases, mini screws are used: Non-surgical correction is possible as a supplement You can do it. If the degree of protrusion is mild If the functional inconvenience is not significant ⚠️ But there is an important point. Non-surgical treatments have limitations in improving appearance. Excessive non-surgical correction ❗ Burden on gums ❗ Temporomandibular joint strain Because it can give Careful diagnosis is important. 4. Can malocclusion be corrected without surgery? ? 👋 Prognathism caused by teeth alignment problems : Dental crossbite is Teeth alignment problem, not jawbone problem no see. 📌 characteristic 🔸 The change in face shape is not significant. 🔸 Occlusion where the front teeth touch backwards 🔸 There are few problems with the jawbone itself. This type is Non-surgical correction has the best prognosis no see. ✔ General orthodontic devices ✔ Use miniscrews (small fasteners) when necessary by Expect simultaneous improvement in occlusion and aesthetics You can do it. 📌 Example If the jaw is normal, but the teeth are tilted forward so that the lower front teeth are in front of the upper front teeth, With orthodontic treatment alone When both appearance and function are improved There is. ❓ FAQ Q1. Is there a way to check for prognathism on my own? A1. An accurate diagnosis requires a medical examination, but The following self-diagnosis checklist items: You can gauge the possibilities. ✔ The lower front teeth are in front of the upper front teeth ✔ When viewed from the side, the chin appears unusually forward. ✔ It is uncomfortable to use the front teeth when chewing food. ✔ I feel like my pronunciation is leaking ✔ There is jaw joint noise or fatigue 📌 Among the above items If 2 or more apply It is recommended that you consult an orthodontic specialist. Q2. Isn't non-surgical chin correction for adults less effective? ? A2. The cause Problems with tooth alignment or upper jaw structure ramen Even in adults Sufficient improvement with non-surgical correction You can expect. but In case of mandibular bone overgrowth In It can be a complementary treatment focused on improving occlusion. 📝 conclusion Adult prognathism correction It is not a simple matter of choosing between “surgery vs. non-surgery.” The most important thing is The prognathism of the chin Identify the exact cause no see.

hello. Dr. Hyunwoo Cho, Director of 3D Plastic Surgery no see. Because of the chin, the side profile looks stuffy Have you ever worried about your jawline looking blurry in photos? These days, “small and slim chin” is the trend, If the chin is much smaller than average, simple cosmetic procedures are not enough. There may be. Representative methods used for chin correction class Actual limitations and selection criteria for each surgery/procedure Let's organize it. What is the standard side profile line for chinless correction? ? 📌 Whether or not there is a blunt is determined based on the 'Ricketts Line'. . 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: . There are three ways to approach orthodontics: 🔸 Bone-assisted advancement 🔸 Advancement using prosthetics 🔸 Advancement using fat grafting and fillers Because each method has clearly different advantages and limitations. Choosing the right one for your jaw condition This is important. In what cases is bone-based chin advancement surgery suitable? 📌 This method uses your own bone to reduce foreign body sensation. . Chin advancement surgery using bone commonly known A different method from T-osteotomy can be accessed by T-osteotomy can further reduce the volume of the chin. The impression of a small chin may not be significantly improved. Because of this, A method of advancing the anterior jaw without removing the bone You can also choose . ✨ Advantages Use of own bone → Less foreign body sensation Relatively few side effects ⚠️ Limits The maximum range that can be advanced is About 5~6mm There are limits to how far you can go. Before and after CT images of genioplasty Why is advancement surgery with prosthetics chosen? ? 📌 If the advance amount is large, you can expect good results. Advancement using prosthetics If an advance of about 1 cm is required This makes it a particularly useful option. About prosthetics There is a perception that it “erodes bones”, This is It depends on the location. ✔️ Location where the bone is thick → Less likely to erode ⚠️ If positioned upwards → Erosion may occur Bone erosion due to the implant being positioned slightly above CT Entering the thick part of the bone prosthesis CT ( No erosion occurs ) Is it possible to correct a chin without using fat grafting or fillers? ? 📌 This is a method you can consider if surgery is burdensome. If the burden of surgery is too great, the volume of the front chin can be supplemented with fat grafting or filler. ✨ Advantages A relatively simple procedure Less psychological burden from surgery ⚠️ Limits Not a solid structure Limited in maintaining shape There are limits to expressing naturalness and a clear jawline. “A pointed chin is possible, but it may not always look natural.” FAQ ❓ Q1. Can severe wrinkles and walnut wrinkles also be improved? A1. For severe prognathism, chin surgery alone may not be effective, and implants or stepped osteotomy may be considered. Walnut wrinkles can be improved with Botox. Q2. Is there a risk of damage to the dental nerve after chin surgery? A2. There may be a risk if the osteotomy is excessively upward or the fixation pin is close to the tooth root, so the location of the nerve must be carefully considered during surgery. Q3. Can I change from chin filler to fat grafting? A3. Fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronic acid, and the residual material can be absorbed. Remove 3 to 7 days before surgery It is recommended to do so. Conclusion 🧾 ✔️ There is not just one right answer when it comes to braces.

Kim Hyun-soon ledger hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. When you say prognathism, many people think “Doesn’t this absolutely require surgery?” People often worry about that. but Not everyone with a prognathism needs surgery. Because the jawbone and teeth are connected and harmonious, Depending on the cause, there are many cases where sufficient improvement can be achieved with orthodontic treatment alone. today Why does a prognathism occur? , and In what cases can non-surgical correction be improved? I will guide you step by step. 1. What is a prognathism? “A prognathism is when the lower jaw protrudes further than the upper jaw. 'Overbite (Class III)', where the lower teeth protrude forward of the upper teeth It tells the status. In this case, frontal In the jawline, the jawline looks sharp. side In , the lower jaw appears to be unusually protruding. Also, because the upper jaw is often narrow and the lower jaw is wide, Simply “pushing the chin back” is not an appropriate treatment. The structure of the teeth and jawbone A precisely analyzed correction plan This is very important. 2. Why does a prognathism occur? Cause Type explanation Congenital factors (genetics) Approximately 70-80% of patients with prognathism have a family history of the condition. The developmental pattern of the jawbone is genetically determined. acquired factors (habits) Things like jaw clenching, mouth breathing, chewing on one side, and sleeping positions can affect jaw growth. in other words, Jaw structure at birth + growth environment + lifestyle habits All of these affect the chin. 3. Cases where correction is possible without surgery Even if it's a spatula chin If the imbalance of the jawbone itself is not severe, , Improvement is possible with orthodontic treatment alone. ✔️Teaching If it can be improved with sincerity Crossbite Teeth alignment problems If it comes from of the chin If the difference before and after is minor During the growth period (adolescence) Period when growth control is possible ✔️Examples of treatment methods Miniscrew (fixed) It is used to move the lower teeth backward and guide the upper and lower teeth into a normal occlusion. The key is Teeth arrangement + jaw position + facial proportions Considering them together. It is different from orthodontic treatment that simply straightens teeth. 4. So in what cases is surgery necessary? In the following cases: Surgery + orthodontic treatment This may be necessary. The lower jaw Protruding significantly forward If it is done facial asymmetry If accompanied by this When there is a large difference in the growth of the upper, lower, left, and right jawbones in other words, Whether or not surgery is necessary depends on the structural differences in the jawbone. is decided by. 5. A prognathism can lead to functional problems. A prognathism is not simply a cosmetic issue. ✔️Possible issues Difficulty chewing food (decreased masticatory function) Inaccurate pronunciation (especially pronunciation of ㅅ and ㅆ) Temporomandibular joint discomfort/headache Unconscious deterioration of oral habits thus It is recommended to begin diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. 6. Conclusion The prognathism is Surgery, no matter what! Not this, It is important to choose a treatment that is appropriate for the cause, severity, and age.

김현순 원장25.11.06Views 474Likes 5 [Health Column] What is Cataract? A comprehensive overview from early symptoms to post-surgery care[11]
Director Choi Woo-hyuk Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyuk. Cataracts are a natural eye condition that can occur with aging. However, if you think, "It's normal for my eyesight to worsen as I get older," and ignore it, you may miss the optimal time for treatment. Today, I would like to talk about cataracts. 1. Early symptoms of cataracts, don't just dismiss them as aging When cataracts begin to develop, vision may feel different in bright and dark environments, and eyes may easily become tired when reading books or using smartphones. In particular, vision may temporarily become more blurred after exercise or when dehydrated. If you notice these changes, it could be a sign of cataracts. 2. What is cataract? A condition where the 'lens' inside the eye becomes cloudy. Cataracts are a condition that occurs as the transparent lens called the 'lens' of the eye gradually becomes cloudy. This lens plays a role in focusing so that we can see objects clearly, but as we age, it loses elasticity and gradually becomes foggy. When the lens becomes cloudy, focus is not properly achieved, causing objects to appear blurry, and light scattering can lead to glare. The symptoms of cataracts can vary depending on the location and degree of cloudiness, and sometimes they only impair vision at certain distances or cause objects to appear overlapped. 3. How is cataract surgery performed? Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and inserting an artificial lens (intraocular lens) in its place. Recently, ultrasound or laser technology has been used to perform the surgery more precisely. In particular, implanting a multifocal intraocular lens allows for clear vision at both near and far distances, increasing convenience in daily life. The artificial lenses used nowadays have a lifespan of over 80 years, and their durability is so high that most patients do not need to replace them after the initial surgery. 4. Postoperative precautions and management determine recovery. Immediately after surgery, your eyes may become sensitive to light or see colors strangely. Especially in cases where multifocal lenses are implanted, lights may appear to spread or night vision may be somewhat blurry. This usually improves gradually over time, so there's no need to worry too much. After surgery, please use eye drops consistently for three weeks and be careful not to rub or vigorously wipe your eyes. Also, during the first week after surgery, be cautious to prevent water from entering your eyes during washing or showering. Even if you wear glasses, you may experience dryness or foreign body sensation, so using artificial tears can also be helpful. 5. Do not misunderstand color changes, blue light, and misconceptions When cataracts develop, some of the light entering the eye, especially blue spectrum light, is blocked. After surgery removes the cloudiness, this blue light can enter again more easily, which may cause colors to suddenly appear bluish or purplish. However, this is part of the normal recovery process, and the optic nerve gradually adapts. Sometimes, there are claims that wearing blue light blocking glasses can help prevent or improve symptoms of cataracts, but this is incorrect information. Blue light is part of natural sunlight, so it cannot be completely blocked, nor is it necessary to do so. 6. Timing of surgery, "finding the right moment," is the key. Cataract surgery is generally performed when vision deterioration causes inconvenience in daily life. If performed too early, the effectiveness of the surgery may be minimal, and if delayed too long, the risk of other complications such as glaucoma or retinal diseases increases. Just like squeezing acne too early or too late can leave scars, it is important to determine the 'appropriate timing' for cataract surgery. It is advisable to check your eye condition through regular ophthalmic examinations and to make a decision after thorough consultation with a specialist. 7. Recovery period and return to daily life, it is important not to overexert yourself. Vision does not immediately return to normal right after surgery. Most patients feel that their vision clears up within about a day after the procedure, but complete recovery takes a little more time. Washing your face is possible about a week after surgery, and normal daily activities can be resumed without difficulty after approximately three weeks. During this period, the use of eye drops and managing eye dryness are very important, and it is also recommended to limit the use of smartphones and computers during the first two weeks. In conclusion Cataracts are a natural aging phenomenon that anyone can experience. However, the quality of life can vary greatly depending on treatment and management. Instead of thinking "it's a bit uncomfortable but I can tolerate it," it is most important to receive appropriate treatment at the right time based on an accurate diagnosis and the advice of a specialist. Since our eyes are precious organs used throughout our lives, do not hesitate to visit an ophthalmologist if you notice any abnormal signs. Small changes can bring great reassurance.

최우혁 원장25.04.01Views 4638Likes 9 [Health Column] Why Is the Cost of Implant Revision Surgery More Expensive Than the Initial One? The Real Reason Explained by a Dental Specialist
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. There are many people who expect that once they have implant surgery, they will be able to use them reliably for a lifetime or for a very long time. In fact, if you provide thorough after-sales service, there are many cases where you can use it stably for over 10 years without any issues. However, unfortunately, situations often arise where you face the cost of implant revision surgery due to a lack of aftercare or sudden gum inflammation. "I already spent a lot of money on surgery, do I have to do it again?", "Why is the cost of revision surgery higher than the first time?" My heart feels heavy whenever I receive questions from patients who are upset, saying things like that. So today, I will clearly explain, tailored to the patient's perspective, exactly why implant revision surgery costs arise and in what cases the cost difference is significant! 1. What are the main causes that lead to implant revision surgery? The main reasons for needing to re-implant an implant include peri-implantitis (inflammation of the surrounding gums), fracture of the prosthesis, and failure of initial fixation. 📌 The most common culprit, peri-implantitis The most common reason for deciding on revision surgery is peri-implantitis. Inflammation of the gums and bone surrounding the implant can lead to bone resorption, where the alveolar bone responsible for firmly supporting the implant erodes. Initially, it starts mildly with gum bleeding or slight swelling, but if left untreated, it eventually leads to the implant becoming severely loose. 📌 Damage to prosthetics and structures due to excessive force If you enjoy eating hard and chewy foods or if excessive force is continuously applied to the oral cavity, structural damage such as breakage of the prosthesis or loosening of internal screws may occur. If you visit a dentist early, this problem can be resolved relatively simply, but if you delay and neglect it for a long time, it will eventually lead to implant revision surgery, resulting in much higher costs. 📌 Initial fixation failure due to failure to properly fuse with bone Immediately after implant surgery, the process of 'osseointegration,' in which the gum bone and the implant firmly bond as one unit, is extremely important. However, there are cases where implants fail to properly anchor to the bone due to factors such as excessive smoking or drinking after surgery, failure to control diabetes, or insufficient initial post-operative care. 2. What are some abnormal implant symptoms that absolutely should not be overlooked? If you experience gum bleeding, looseness, food getting stuck, or feel looseness or discomfort when chewing, you should get a check-up promptly without delay. . If you feel any subtle changes or discomfort in your mouth, you must never dismiss it by assuming it will get better on its own. Whether initial response This is because it is the key factor determining the difference in the cost of implant revision surgery. 🔹 My gums keep bleeding every time I brush my teeth. 🔹 I feel like my implant tooth is slightly loose. 🔹 Food keeps getting stuck between my teeth more than before. 🔹 When chewing food with enjoyment, it feels inexplicably uncomfortable and aching. 🔹 I feel a slight looseness that is different from when the prosthesis was first placed. If you experience even one of the symptoms mentioned above, visiting a dentist promptly to check your condition is the wisest way to significantly reduce the difficulty of treatment and the cost of re-surgery. 3. Why is the cost of implant revision surgery more expensive than the initial surgery? This is because revision surgery is not simply about re-implanting the implant, but involves complex recovery treatments simultaneously, such as the removal of the existing implant, treatment of inflammation, and bone grafting. ! Many people ask, "Why is it more expensive than the first time when the dentist is just implanting it exactly the same way?" Implant revision surgery is by no means a simple process of just pulling it out and quickly re-implanting it. This is because the root cause of the problem with the existing implant must be accurately identified, the area damaged by inflammation restored to normal, and the re-implantation process must be repeated from the beginning. When actually performing the surgery Unlike the initial surgery, the following complicated treatment processes are added. 🔸 Removal of existing implants : The problematic existing fixture (artificial tooth root) already embedded in the gums must be cleanly removed. At this point, the difficulty varies widely depending on whether it simply pops out or requires surgical removal that involves cutting away the alveolar bone. 🔸 Treatment of surrounding inflammation : If the implant is filled with peri-implantitis, you must undergo treatment to completely scrape out the surrounding infected tissue and clean the area thoroughly. 🔸 Bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift : If the gum bone has already been severely lost due to inflammation, bone grafting or sinus lift surgery is essential to refill the bone and create a foundation for placing a new implant. 🔸 Re-implantation surgery and prosthetic remanufacturing : We re-implant a new implant into the firmly restored alveolar bone, and completely redesign and fabricate the abutment and crown to suit the patient's current oral condition. 💡 Implant Revision Surgery Cost Formula at a Glance [Surgical removal of existing implant + Treatment for inflammation and gum recovery + Advanced bone grafting + Re-implantation of new implant and fabrication of prosthesis] In the end, all of this Existing treatment + recovery treatment + retreatment Because the process involves complex steps performed simultaneously, the overall cost of the implant revision surgery is inevitably higher than the initial cost. 4. Is it true that the cost of revision surgery varies from person to person and that a complete removal might not be necessary? 🦷 🦷Yes, that is true! The cost varies depending on the extent of inflammation and bone loss, and we can reduce the financial burden by replacing only the upper components instead of extracting the entire bone. ! This is precisely why it is difficult to get a clear, fixed price even if you call a dental clinic out of the blue and ask, "How much does implant revision surgery cost?" The exact cost of revision surgery is as follows: Individual patient's oral environment and precise examination results This is because it varies completely depending on. Extent of inflammation and degree of alveolar bone (gum bone) loss Difficulty of removing existing implants Whether bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift are performed Number of implants requiring re-implantation Fortunately, not all patients necessarily have to undergo the terrifying surgery of digging out the entire thing and replanting it. Depending on the condition, treatment is neatly divided into two main directions. ✔️ Cases where only parts can be modified or replaced (relatively low burden) Fortunately, if the gum bone is very strong and there is a simple problem only with the upper prosthesis, an internal screw has loosened, or it is only slightly damaged, there is absolutely no need to extract the entire tooth. Since only some parts need to be simply repaired or replaced, the pain and cost burden are significantly reduced. ⚠️ Cases where full revision surgery is essential (somewhat high burden) If peri-implantitis has progressed severely, causing significant bone resorption in the surrounding area, or if the fixture itself within the gum bone is completely fractured and damaged, it is necessary to surgically remove the entire existing structure completely before proceeding with re-implantation, which increases both the difficulty and the cost. 5. What is the best management method to definitely reduce the cost of implant revision surgery? The most perfect way to save money is regular checkups every 6 months to 1 year, thorough follow-up care using dental floss and interdental brushes, and quitting smoking. The greatest secret to drastically reducing the cost of implant revision surgery and protecting your wallet is ultimately adhering to the basic principle of 'thorough initial care.' If you meticulously follow just the following three rules in your mouth, you can completely avoid the risk of revision surgery. ✨ Make regular dental checkups every 6 months to 1 year a part of your daily routine! You must never skip the regular check-up schedule provided by the dental clinic. If invisible, microscopic gum inflammation or loosening of dental prosthetics is detected early when they are still very small, you can avoid major re-surgery and prevent extensive treatment with simple measures, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious experience. ✨ Much more meticulous oral hygiene care than natural teeth! Since implant teeth do not have nerves, caring for the surrounding gums is much more important than for natural teeth. Since regular brushing alone cannot remove all the fine debris stuck in the crevices, you must carry a set of dental floss, interdental brushes, and water flossers (oral irrigators) to consistently and thoroughly clean every nook and cranny. ✨ Thoroughly manage smoking that slowly melts away your gum bone! Smoking is a terrifying culprit that drastically increases the frequency of peri-implantitis, which causes inflammation around implants, and explosively raises the risk of bone resorption, where the gum bone collapses. In particular, you must firmly avoid smoking, which is harmful in every way, immediately after implant surgery or during the sensitive initial settling period, in order to safely preserve the foundation of your precious teeth. FAQ Q1. If the gums around the implant bleed, do I absolutely have to have them all extracted and undergo re-surgery? ? A1. No! There is absolutely no need to be scared right from the start. In cases of early-stage periodontal inflammation characterized by bleeding gums, or simply loose screws or minor damage to the upper prosthesis, treatment is possible without the need to extract the entire tooth; only specific parts can be neatly modified or replaced, allowing for burden-free treatment. However, if the bone has already severely eroded, a full re-operation may be necessary, so it is important to undergo a thorough examination immediately upon discovery. Q2. Why does smoking after implant surgery increase the likelihood of re-surgery and cost more money? ? A2. This is because smoking constricts blood vessels in the mouth, fatally interfering with the most critical process of 'osseofusion,' where the gum bone and the implant must adhere tightly as one. This leads to an uncontrollable increase in the risk of peri-implantitis and bone resorption, ultimately resulting in the burden of massive revision surgery costs where the entire implant structure must be removed and bone grafting must be performed again from the beginning due to the failure of initial fixation. conclusion The cost of implant revision surgery is by no means a one-dimensional expense of simply implanting a new artificial tooth component. This is a comprehensive treatment fee that includes a highly specialized recovery process to safely and healthily normalize the gum environment and alveolar bone foundation, which have been severely collapsed and damaged due to inflammation. Therefore, the most certain key point to prevent frightening side effects and massive waste of money is the speed of catching subtle abnormal signals before the problem snowballs. Don't carelessly miss the timing by thinking, "It doesn't hurt yet, so it'll be fine," or "Even if I feel a slight wavering, I'm busy, so I'll go later." The habit of visiting a dental professional without delay to have your condition thoroughly checked when you feel even slight shaking or minor discomfort. This is truly the best wisdom for fully protecting your precious dental health and, consequently, definitely saving the biggest costs.

How long do swelling and bruising last after lower eyelid surgery? Temporary symptoms may appear immediately after surgery, and usually subside after about 1 to 2 weeks to the point where they do not interfere with daily life. . After any surgical procedure, the speed of recovery may vary depending on the individual's constitution or skin condition. The general standard recovery course follows the steps below. Key Recovery Timeline : 🔸 Week 1 This is the period immediately after surgery when swelling and bruising are most severe. 🔸 Week 2 As significant swelling subsides, light commuting to work or daily activities become fully possible. 🔸 1 month As residual swelling gradually subsides, the surrounding tissue regains its natural feel. 🔸 3~6 months The internal tissue is firmly fixed and eventually settles completely. 💡 If your parents work or have an important meeting coming up, it is recommended to coordinate the schedule after securing at least 1 to 2 weeks of buffer time. What are the side effects and precautions that must be checked before surgery? Since all surgeries carry the possibility of side effects, you must be clearly aware of potential symptoms in advance. . Since lower eyelid surgery requires precise techniques, it is safer to check for potential symptoms in advance. Representative side effects to watch out for : ⚠️ Asymmetry and eyelid pulling ⚠️ Overcorrection or undercorrection ⚠️ Occurs micro-scars and dry eyes ⚠️ Rare eversion (the eyelid turns outward) 💡To prevent such side effects or complications such as ectropion or retraction, you must strictly verify whether the medical team is a specialist with sufficient know-how and extensive clinical experience regarding the surgery. What conditions should be considered more important than price or cost? 🟢 It is whether a 'personalized diagnosis' is provided, which closely analyzes skin sagging and muscle conditions that differ for each patient. . Lower eyelid surgery is not a trivial procedure that can be hastily decided upon based solely on low costs or promotional pricing benefits. This is because everyone has distinctly different innate physical conditions. Essential Checkpoints for Precise Diagnosis : 📌 Current degree of under-eye skin sagging 📌 The exact location and amount of protruding inner fat 📌 Thickness and weakening of the muscles under the eyes 📌 Overall skin elasticity and existing eye shape structure Since indiscriminately removing an excessive amount of tissue can lead to unnatural results, the key is the diagnostic ability to establish the most natural direction of improvement while preserving functional aspects. Specifically, who is lower eyelid surgery most recommended for? 🟢 We recommend this to those who are concerned about looking dull and older than their actual age due to signs of aging under their eyes. . Self-diagnosis checklist : ✔️ If you are often told you look tired because your under-eyes are always bulging ✔️ Cases where sagging soft tissue under the eyes makes you look much older than your actual age ✔️ Cases where the overall impression feels dull and dark due to shadows around the eyes ✔️ Cases where non-surgical lifting procedures were previously performed but the improvement was significantly insufficient ✔️ For those over middle age who want a very natural, non-artificial youthful face What is the detailed surgical recovery process and course by stage? After passing the initial stage of applying protective taping, the facial expression will gradually settle into a natural state by 6 months post-surgery. 🔹 [Stage 1] Immediately after surgery ~ Day 2 after surgery Carefully apply sutures and protective tape to the micro-incision site just below the eyelashes. Swelling that occurs immediately after surgery usually peaks on the 1st or 2nd day and tends to be severe. Light daily movements are immediately possible, and if you are concerned about the swollen appearance, you can sufficiently cover it by wearing a hat or glasses. 🔹 [Stage 2] Day 3 ~ Day 4 Post-Surgery From this point on, the swelling, which had peaked, begins to gradually and noticeably decrease. As you apply the prescribed eye ointment regularly, the area around the tape may appear slightly shiny or oily, but this is a perfectly normal part of the healing process, so you can rest assured. 🔹 [Stage 3] Day 6 ~ Day 7 Post-Surgery (Time for Suture Removal) Visit the hospital to safely remove the attached protective tape and fine stitches. Once the stitches are removed, the significant swelling and bruising around the eyes usually subside quickly. Light makeup becomes possible, drastically reducing the physical and psychological burden of returning to daily life, such as going out or going to work. 🔹 [Stage 4] 2 ~ 3 months after surgery (Long-term recovery) The reddish tint of the micro-scar incised along the eyelash line gradually fades. The skin texture around the eyes recovers smoothly and naturally, transforming into a stable state where scars are barely noticeable. 🔹 [Stage 5] 6 months post-surgery (Final settlement) Even when speaking or smiling broadly, an extremely natural expression is maintained without any awkwardness. A youthful, relaxed, and vibrant impression of middle age is achieved to the point where those around you won't even notice. 📌 Great tips to shorten your recovery time! Professional services conducted at the hospital Swelling relief injection me LED Swelling Management Systematically combining the same customized recovery program can be of great help in accelerating the speed of recovery. FAQ Q1. When does my face look natural after lower eyelid surgery? A1. The most prominent swelling and bruising after surgery usually subside significantly within about 1 to 2 weeks as you resume your daily activities. Afterwards, minor residual swelling gradually subsides over several months, and the area usually settles into a noticeably natural look between one and three months after surgery. Q2. Since it is a surgery involving an incision, I am worried that a severe scar will remain on the surface. The incision for lower blepharoplasty is precisely made along a line closely located just below the eyelashes, which is not easily visible due to the eye's structure. Therefore, as time passes and the wound heals, it becomes difficult to distinguish easily with the naked eye. Although there are individual differences, generally, the scar fades rapidly starting 2 to 3 months after surgery. Q3. My parents are afraid that my facial expression might become stiff or look artificial and awkward after the surgery. To avoid an artificial appearance, the surgery must be performed with precision, thoroughly considering the complex muscle distribution and the condition of the supporting tissues around the eyes. If the surgery is performed correctly according to the anatomical structure, you can maintain a comfortable and soft impression without any awkwardness even when smiling broadly after 6 months, so it is important to make a decision after consulting thoroughly with a medical team with skilled expertise. 📌 Key Summary Lower eyelid surgery, known as the ultimate cosmetic surgery to show filial piety to middle-aged parents, A safe solution that restores your naturally bright and defined face by harmoniously improving sagging skin and bulging fat, the main culprits of under-eye aging. no see. To maintain highly satisfactory results for a long time, do not be swayed solely by low price benefits. Please keep in mind that a precise, customized diagnosis evaluating the patient's skin elasticity, eye structure, and muscle condition from various angles must be performed first. ✨ Key Summary Points ✔️ Major swelling and bruising usually subside within 1 to 2 weeks, and light makeup is possible after the stitches are removed in the first week. ✔️ To prevent side effects such as eyelid eversion and to maintain a natural smile, you must undergo a one-on-one consultation with a verified specialist. If you wish to give your parents the gift of youth and confidence that brings them happiness every time they look in the mirror, I highly recommend visiting a medical institution equipped with a thorough, systematic aftercare program and accompanying them step-by-step, starting from the consultation.

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

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

That very time when deciding on surgery right away feels burdensome, yet you worry that doing nothing will cause it to sag even more! My facial condition is simple Procedure possible steps Whether, or not surgery Is this a more effective step? I will give you a guide right now on how to clearly distinguish them. 1. Is my skin still at a stage where treatments are sufficient? ? 🌱 If you feel your skin elasticity has slightly decreased and is sagging lightly, laser or thread lifting is the answer! If you have these symptoms Procedure Consider this first: ✅ Only when smiling When nasolabial folds are slightly prominent ✅ The jawline weakly In the case of the initial stage of collapse ✅ of the entire face Voluminous It is still in a good state. At this stage, applying physical tightening with thread lifting or boosting elasticity with radiofrequency or ultrasound lasers alone is sufficient Natural improvement This is possible. Above all, prepare for surgery The burden of recovery is low. That is a huge advantage! 2. Is it time to consider surgery on my skin? ? 🌱 If the effects of the procedure feel too short-lived or if there is a lot of excess skin when pulled by hand, it falls into the realm of surgery. For people like this Facelift surgery I recommend: ✅ Between the forehead and the space between the eyebrows Severe wrinkles In the case of drooping eyelids ✅ For wrinkles and sagging skin all over the face all at once If you want to improve ✅ For those who want a 확실한 (definite) lifting effect without worrying about scars or nerve damage It’s not just the outer skin that has lost elasticity, Possibility that the deep fascial layer (SMAS) has already started to sag It is high. In this case, rather than a procedure that only tightens the surface Resolves the fundamental sagging The surgery performed is much more effective. 3. How is a facelift different from alternative procedures? 🌱 The key is to directly correct the deep structure (SMAS layer) that causes aging. Let me highlight the key points of a facelift: 📌 SMAS (fascial layer) dissection When the SMAS layer, a thin membrane surrounding muscles, loosens due to aging, the skin sags along with it. Through surgery, this layer is directly separated and tightened, and the excess is removed to produce a definite effect. 📌 No need to worry about scars The incision line is meticulously planned along the area around the ear to ensure that the scar is not noticeable after recovery. The more skilled the medical staff, the more cleverly they hide it along the hairline or behind the ears. Medical staff proficiency That is really important! 4. Essential points to check for a successful facelift ? 🌱Check for anatomical understanding and aftercare systems rather than simply low costs. Make sure to check these 3 things for satisfactory results: skilled medical staff The face is a complex area where numerous nerves and blood vessels pass through. Only medical professionals with extensive clinical experience can perform precise surgery without nerve damage. 1:1 Custom Design Everyone has different skin thickness and bone structure. The extent and angle of the peeling must be finely adjusted to suit the individual's condition to avoid 'pointed ears' or awkward facial expressions. Systematic follow-up care In addition to having an anesthesiologist on staff, having well-equipped scar care and swelling management programs is essential for a faster return to daily life. 💡 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Will there be significant scarring after a facelift? ? A1. The incision is usually made along the line around the ear, and skilled medical professionals hide the scar along the hairline or behind the ear so that it is not easily visible. It will be relatively inconspicuous once it recovers over time, so you don't need to worry too much. Q2. I am still in my 40s; would it be okay for me to have surgery already? ? A2. The criterion is the 'degree of skin and fascia sagging' rather than age. If the effects of the procedure last only about a month, or if there is a lot of excess skin when you pull it taut, surgery may be a more suitable option at this stage. Please consult with a specialist. 💬Conclusion You cannot turn back time, but you can change the speed of aging. The dilemma between a lifting procedure and a facelift is likely due to the desire to return to "the youngest and most vibrant version of myself." Rather than being swayed by others' reviews or cheap events My current skin condition and the depth of sagging It is wise to find the most suitable method for it. Instead of worrying while looking in the mirror alone, try thoroughly checking the condition of your fascia with a professional. That small step will become the most valuable investment that determines the next 10 years.

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!

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

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

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

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

허재원 원장26.03.13Views 105Likes 3 [Health Column] Is Double Jaw Surgery Really Necessary for Long Faces and Chin Reshaping? Solutions Based on Cause[4]
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.

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.

조현우 원장26.03.05Views 225Likes 4 [Health Column] "Do I really need to pull a healthy tooth?" The biggest concern before braces, solved![10]
hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. The biggest reason why it is difficult to knock on the door of the dentist even after deciding to get braces is probably Fear of 'extraction' That's probably why. "Is it really okay to pull out my precious teeth?" This worry is a natural thought that anyone considering braces would have had at least once. In today's column, instead of unconditionally forcing extraction, Why extractions are necessary and what non-extraction methods are available instead I will explain in detail what it is. 1. What is the difference between extraction and non-extraction orthodontics? ? 👋 The key is how to create the 'space' for the teeth to move. . Extraction correction: This is a method of extracting a tooth and using the empty space to move the remaining teeth in an orderly manner. Non-extraction orthodontics: This is a method of creating the necessary space without extracting teeth, using various devices and techniques. 📌 A word from the director! Choosing unconditionally is not the answer. First, we need to consider how much 'free space' there is in our mouths to properly align our teeth. 2. In what situations is extraction absolutely necessary? ? 👋 For healthy rearrangement of teeth When 'space' is absolutely lacking Decide carefully. ✅ Lack of space for teeth rearrangement: This is a case where the space for the teeth to fit is too narrow, resulting in severe crowding. ✅ Requires posterior movement of the anterior segment: When the front teeth need to be moved back a lot to improve protrusion, extraction space is needed. ✅ Specific dental problems: This is the case when there is impacted tooth, severe malocclusion, or tooth that has already reached the end of its lifespan and is difficult to save. 3. Why do you have to extract the ‘premolars’? 👋 It is a strategic choice to preserve the original function of the teeth as much as possible. . Each of our teeth has its own role. The large molars that have a chewing function, the front teeth that affect the impression, and the canines that support the gum bone are very important. Therefore, the 'small molars (premolars)' are mainly extracted to minimize functional loss. Of course, if there are other teeth that are already in poor condition, those teeth may be extracted first to increase efficiency. 4. In what cases is non-surgical correction possible? 👋 Recommended for cases where the tooth arrangement is relatively gentle or skeletal expansion is possible. ✔️ I recommend non-surgical correction to these people! When the teeth are not overlapping or crooked to a severe degree When the degree of lip protrusion is minor and there is no need to insert a lot of front teeth When the arch (dental bone) is narrow and space can be secured by widening the bone When there is already a gap between the teeth and all that is needed is to fill the space 🛠️ Main methods of non-extraction orthodontics: Expansion of the Palace: Expand the width of the jawbone to create space. Interdental removal: Create a gap by finely trimming it within a range that does not cause damage to the teeth. Rear towing: Using a mini screw or similar, the entire molar is pushed back to create space. ❓ FAQ Q1. I'm worried that my mouth will look too swollen after getting braces. A1. This is the most common misconception! An experienced specialist can predict changes in facial shape in advance and precisely adjust the amount of movement, thereby preventing excessive sagging and creating a harmonious facial appearance. Q2. Isn't non-extraction orthodontic treatment that doesn't involve extraction of natural teeth always better? A2. It is good to keep your teeth, but if you insist on extraction when there is absolutely not enough space, you may have the side effect of your teeth becoming stretched out or your protruding teeth not being improved. 'Suitability' is more important than 'unconditionality' . Q3. Does extraction orthodontic treatment take much longer? A3. Because the teeth have to move farther, it may take a little longer than non-extraction. However, if the goal is to improve protrusion or correct malocclusion, extraction will provide more effective results. 📝 conclusion Neither extraction nor non-extraction is absolutely correct. 🦷 This is because each person's jawbone size, tooth density, and degree of protrusion are all different. The important thing is through precise analysis The least damaging method for my oral structure is to find. Rather than simply promising, "You don't have to vote unconditionally," A place where orthodontic specialists directly analyze and provide honest advice Start carefully.

It's really positive to hear that you don't have to worry about getting hurt. It feels as if the surgery was so perfect that there was no bleeding at all. However, from a medical perspective, this is an expression that can easily lead to misunderstanding. Can you give me an example? 🏃♂️ Think about when you were walking down the street and fell and slightly scraped your knee. The bleeding stops quickly, but clear pus (exudate) continues to flow for several days, soaking the gauze, right? Even after facial contouring, this natural reaction occurs in our body. 2.

Exfoliates a wide area of skin and treats deep tissues (fascia) large-scale surgery no see. ⚠️ What happens when the water pools? Even if the bleeding is completely controlled, pus is bound to come out of the tissues for 2-3 days after the surgery. If this does not come out, it will accumulate between the tissues. severe swelling It becomes. When the amount increases, it accumulates like a water bag seroma It may lead to this. 3. What role does the blood clot play during the "golden three days" after surgery? 🛡️ 🎯It accelerates recovery by removing unnecessary fluids during a time when the tissues need to be tightly adhered. After facial lifting First 3 days It is a very important period that determines the success or failure of the result. 📌 Key Points During this period, the fascia and skin must adhere tightly to each other for quick recovery and good results. But if there is mud in between, the tissue won't be able to stick properly, right? ✔️ Effect of blood pressure Although there is some discomfort, using a drainage tube for 1-2 days effectively drains the pus. Swelling is reduced and recovery is much faster. FAQ ❓ Q1. How long does it take for a facial contouring surgery and what is the anesthesia? ? A1. Normal 3~5 hours It takes about 10 minutes and is comfortable. general anesthesia It will proceed as follows. The time may vary slightly depending on the individual's condition and the scope of the surgery. Q2. How long should I expect to recover after surgery? A2. Large swelling and bruising 1~2 weeks The condition will improve a lot, and you will be able to return to your daily life in about two weeks! ✨ Natural look is completed over 3 to 6 months. Q3. Are there any side effects or risks? ? A3. There is a possibility of temporary sensory loss or nerve damage, but most recover over time. Above all, it is important to design the product to minimize risk through sufficient consultation with experienced medical staff. conclusion The correct answer is "How do I recover?" rather than "I'm not bleeding"! What's really important about facial contouring isn't just the marketing slogan that it doesn't cause bleeding. How meticulously the post-surgical recovery process is designed and managed determines satisfaction. Even if it's the same surgery Recovery Design Please keep in mind that the process you experience can vary greatly depending on your circumstances! 💡 3D plastic surgery Director Heo Jae-won Graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine Yonsei University Graduate School, Master of Medicine Severance Hospital plastic surgery specialist Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Society of Craniofacial Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Rhinoplasty Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Anti-Aging Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, Liposuction Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Laser Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Botox, Filler, and Thread Lifting Research Group Director of Hyeon Ipsae Plastic Surgery Clinic 10 years of experience focusing on lifting
허재원 원장26.02.26Views 282Likes 4 [Health Column] Why Upper Eyelid Surgery Isn't Alone for Middle-Aged Eyelid Surgery? Criteria for Combining Forehead Lift Surgery[8]
hello, Garnet Plastic Surgery Director Baek In-su no see. Many people tend to think that the eye changes in middle age, such as drooping eyelids, making the eyelids look heavy and blurry, are just a problem with the eyelids. 👀 But in reality, it is often a complex change that extends to the eyebrows and forehead. For this reason, if upper eyelid surgery is performed alone, there may be situations where the results are different from what was expected. Today, I'll explain, from a structural perspective, why forehead augmentation is often considered in middle-aged eye surgery.✨ Isn't middle-aged eye aging just a problem with the 'eyelids'? 🟢Sagging eyelids are often accompanied by drooping eyebrows and forehead. Sagging upper eyelids after the age of 40 or 50 is not simply a problem of excess skin. It is accompanied by complex changes including loss of eyelid skin elasticity, relaxation of the orbicularis oculi muscle, drooping of the eyebrows, and relaxation of the forehead soft tissue. That is, it is not just the eyelids that are drooping. A condition where the eyebrows and forehead are lowered together This is often the case. 💡Example: The habit of opening your eyes with your forehead tense, with your eyelids looking heavy. 🎯 It is important to evaluate not only the eyelids but also the eyebrow position and forehead sagging. Why can removing a lot of skin during upper eyelid surgery be problematic? 🟢Excessive restraint can cause changes in impression and tense eyes. The purpose of upper eyelid surgery is to improve vision and correct facial expressions. Skin in middle-aged patients Excessive removal underneath This may result in a decrease in the distance between the eyebrows and eyes, as well as a change in the appearance of the face. Also, as the eyelids become hypertonic, Opening your eyes may further increase forehead compensation. 💡Example situation When only a large amount of skin is removed while the eyebrows have already fallen down → The eyebrow position appears relatively lower, creating an unnatural impression. ⚠️ Caution! Simply “removing a lot” does not always lead to good results. Why is forehead augmentation surgery often considered together? 🟢This is an approach to reposition structural causes (eyebrow and forehead drooping). Forehead augmentation is not simply a surgery to smooth out wrinkles. Surgery to reposition the lowered eyebrows and forehead soft tissues to their anatomical positions no see. Through this ✔️ Natural eyebrow lift ✔️ Normalize the distance between the eyebrows and eyes ✔️ Prevent excessive skin excision You can expect the same effect. In other words, a “cut less and make it more natural” approach becomes possible. Do all middle-aged patients need forehead lift surgery? 🟢The parallel operation will vary depending on whether the eyebrows are lowered or not. Not all middle-aged patients need forehead lift surgery. However, in the following cases, parallelism is actively considered: 🔸 If eyebrow sagging is evident 🔸 If you have a lot of forehead compensation wrinkles 🔸 If you feel a lot of tension in your forehead when opening your eyes 🔸 If the distance between the eyebrows and eyes is already narrow In these situations, upper eyelid surgery alone may actually worsen the outcome. 💡Simple self-check example If your eyes feel more comfortable when you slightly lift your eyebrows with your hand → It is likely that the cause is sagging eyebrows. What is the most important principle in middle-aged eye surgery? 🟢The key is to ‘reposition the sagging structure’ rather than the amount of excision. The key to middle-aged eye surgery is It's not about how much you remove, It's all about how you rearrange the sagging structure. Because the eyelids are part of the upper part of the face It should be judged in the balance of the entire upper face, including the forehead and eyebrows. You can expect natural and stable results. 👉 It is important to evaluate the entire upper face, not just the eyelids. FAQ Q1. Will my appearance look unnatural after surgery? A1. Excessive excision may cause the eyes to appear sunken or asymmetry, and excessive pulling may give a surprised impression. Q2. How long is the recovery period and return to normal daily life? A2. Bruising and swelling will subside in about 1 to 2 weeks, and it will take about 7 to 10 days to return to normal daily life. It may take 1 to 3 months for the condition to return to normal. Q3. Which surgery is right for me, upper eyelid surgery or forehead lift? A3. In cases where the eyelid skin is sagging, upper eyelid surgery is considered, and in cases where the eyebrows have fallen and are covering the eyes, forehead lifting surgery is considered. Conclusion ✨ The success of middle-aged eye surgery Rather than “how much restraint did you have” It depends on how accurately the cause of the sagging was corrected. ✨ ✔️ We evaluate not only the eyelids but also the eyebrow position and forehead sagging. ✔️ A structurally balanced approach is more important than excessive moderation. ✔️ Customized consultation is required based on individual anatomical condition. If your eyes feel heavy and you have to open them with your forehead Not just a simple upper eyelid surgery It's a good idea to consult with a specialist for a comprehensive upper facial evaluation. 👀 Garnet Plastic Surgery Director Baek In-su Graduated from Korea University College of Medicine Graduated from Korea University Graduate School (Plastic Surgery major) Korea University Medical Center Resident Plastic Surgery Specialist at National Medical Center Former Director of Jewelry Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Craniofacial Society Regular member of the Facial Contour Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Rhinoplasty Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Anti-Aging Plastic Surgery Research Group See more expert columns from Dr. Baek In-su of Garnet Plastic Surgery Clinic.

While removing unnecessary skin and tissue from the eyelids, Balances the structures involved in opening the eyes to function naturally. These changes are common after middle age. 🔹 Sagging skin obscures vision 🔹 The habit of applying force to the forehead or eyebrows to open the eyes 🔹 Persistent tension around the eyes Upper eyelid surgery reduces this burden, The purpose is to create a more comfortable state of waking up. There is this. ⚠️ Excessive excision for the sole purpose of cosmetic change is not advisable. Functionality and balance must be considered together. What changes and effects can we expect? 🟢We aim for ‘less stuffy eyes’, not ‘bigger and more colorful eyes’. The first change you feel after upper eyelid surgery in middle age is Relieves stuffiness around the eyes no see. 🔸 Organizing the covered eyes 🔸 A clearer and more comfortable impression 🔸 Improved visibility in some cases 🔸 Reduced forehead tension when opening eyes But the important thing is, It is not a surgery that drastically changes one's appearance. no see.

The final naturalness will depend on the individual's recovery rate. ⚠️ Be careful of the misconception that “the more skin you cut off, the clearer it will be.” Excessive restraint may result in poor eye closure or an unnatural appearance. 👉 It is important to plan with both function and structure in mind. In which cases is it helpful, and in which cases should I be cautious? 🟢The first thing to do is to determine whether the cause is skin or functional impairment. ✔️ If it can help When your eyes feel heavy due to sagging upper eyelid skin When your double eyelids are covered and you feel stuffy 🔎 When to be cautious When the main cause is a decline in the ability to open the eyes itself If you have a systemic disease or eye-related disease In this case, other methods such as eye correction can be considered.

Can my eyes become clearer with just upper eyelid surgery? A1. If sagging upper eyelid skin is the primary cause, it's possible.

Doesn't your impression look very different after the surgery? A2. The goal isn't to dramatically change the impression, but to improve the feeling of tightness. By tailoring the procedure to each individual's eye structure, you can expect a natural transformation. Q3. Is it possible to have surgery even at an older age? A3. Eye condition and overall health are more important than age. Depending on the condition, treatment is possible, and preliminary diagnosis is crucial.

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

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.

hello. Dr. Hyunwoo Cho, Director of 3D Plastic Surgery no see. When I consult about square jaw surgery, I often get asked, “If I have the surgery, will I definitely get a V-line?” but Reducing a square jaw does not automatically make the frontal view slimmer. The side view may look small, but the front view is often the same. today Why does this difference occur? , and What role does ‘cortical osteotomy’ play in determining the frontal effect? I will explain it step by step. Why is the frontal effect different when undergoing square jaw surgery? 📌Not all square jaw reductions result in the same facial changes. . Square jaw surgery Cut in a long curve from the square jaw below the ear to just before the chin bone This is a surgery that makes the jawline smoother. When viewed from the side, the angle below the ear is reduced, making the face appear smaller. The frontal effect depends on the 'shape' of the jawbone. ✔️ If you look at the CT scan, the square appears to be less noticeable from the front. ✔️ In some cases, the angle below the ear is almost 90 degrees when viewed from the side. 👉 In this case, If you only cut the angle, you may not feel a big change from the front. 🔸 Example This is why people ask, “I’m satisfied with the side view, but why is the front view the same?” The frontal effect is It's not about how much you cut, but what structure you reduce. is more important 🔸 Advice 👉 Before surgery A process of receiving explanations based on both frontal and lateral CT scans This is absolutely necessary. Pre-simulation CT (dried jawbone) Why is it less effective when the square jawbone is ‘sunk in’? 📌If the bone is rolled inward, the width may not be reduced even if cut. . Square jawbone Inwardly rolled shape and Outwardly spreading form It is divided into . If it gets stuck Even if you cut a lot of square jawbone, the frontal width may appear to have little change. That's why people say, "I had square jaw surgery, but my frontal appearance is the same." CT after simulation (dried jawbone) 🔸 Key Points ✔️ The frontal effect is not about the ‘amount of reduction’ Bone orientation and structure It depends 🔸 Advice 👉 I Is it a dried bone structure or a spread structure? It is important to check first. Why does a square jaw that flares outward look so good from the front? 📌Because the front width itself is reduced . If the square jawbone spreads outward, Just with square jaw surgery Changes in width from the front It looks relatively good. Extended jawbone before simulation Stretched jawbone after simulation 🔸 Example In the frontal photo, the jawline appears to have moved inward one step. In cases where the feeling that “the frontal view has become slimmer” is relatively quick 🔸 Advice 👉 Even if it's the same surgery Depending on your bone type, the results you experience may vary greatly. So what role does ‘cortical osteotomy’ play? 📌This is a method that is considered together to increase the frontal effect. Cortical osteotomy involves reducing the outer surface (lateral cortex) of the square jaw. Not only the sides How to reduce the volume from the front as well no see. The square jawbone has a multi-layered structure. Among these Removing only the outer layer is called lateral cortical osteotomy. no see. A method of smoothing the surface instead of cutting it in the same location is called 'cortex shaving'. It is called. ✔️ Even if the angle under the ear is not large ✔️ Even if the bone is dried out 👉 It is used to complement the frontal effect cortical CT ⚠️ Caution Because the cortex thickness varies from person to person The extent of abstinence is determined differently for each individual. It's possible Excessive osteotomy Risk of side effects Skill is important because it can increase your Why is cortical osteotomy important in square jaw surgery? 📌This is the element that creates the ‘reason for it to look like a V-line’ from the front. Looking at actual contouring surgery cases, Even if the angle of the ear does not change much When the volume of the outer cortex decreases, it appears like a V-line. There are many. ✔️ Square jaw angle resection ✔️ Bone Spreading ✔️Muscle condition Consider these three together The frontal effect may be improved. CT before and after cortical osteotomy 🔸 Advice 👉 If you want a frontal effect The key is not 'how much angle to cut' but 'where to reduce' no see. FAQ ❓ Q1. Are there any criteria for when square jaw surgery is necessary and when it can be done with Botox? A1. If the frontal squint appears severe but the angle is not significant on CT, the muscle influence is greater than the bone, and Botox may be able to improve the situation. If bone development is also present, surgical options may be considered. Q2. What is the difference between masseter reduction and cortical osteotomy? A2. Muscle reduction reduces muscle volume, while cortical osteotomy reduces the outer volume of the bone. For a frontal effect, both bone structure and muscle condition are assessed. Q3. How long is the recovery period after square jaw surgery? A3. Major swelling is usually explained as a standard of about two weeks, and minor swelling gradually resolves over several months. Conclusion 🧾 ✔️ Not all square jaw surgery results in the same frontal effect. ✔️ Depending on the shape of the bone If cortical osteotomy or shaving alone is sufficient There is. ✔️ What's important is Customized judgment based on your CT structure It is. ✨ Rather than surgery that just cuts off a lot, A method that suits your current situation Decision made after sufficient consultation with a specialist I recommend you do it. 3D plastic surgery CEO Cho Hyun-woo Graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine Master of Medicine, Yonsei University Graduate School 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

hello, Director Lee Hyeon-seop of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. Anyone who is about to have implant surgery or has just had surgery has probably thought about this at least once. “When should I start brushing my teeth?”, “Can I still use the same toothpaste I normally use?” Surprisingly Choosing Toothpaste After Implant Surgery is an important management factor that affects the surgical outcome and recovery process. But most people tend to stick to their old habits without much explanation. today Why You Should Care About Your Toothpaste After Implant Surgery Let me summarize. Why does the oral environment change after implant surgery? 🦷Because implants are structurally different from natural teeth, their management standards are also different. Although implants look similar to natural teeth, their structure is completely different. Natural teeth have a periodontal ligament that cushions the impact and prevents bacterial invasion. Implants are A state where bones and metal structures are directly connected no see. so More sensitive to external stimuli Inflammation can progress rapidly ⚠️ For this reason, choosing toothpaste during implant surgery should not be viewed as a simple choice of daily necessities, but as a ‘part of care.’ What is the first toothpaste standard to check after implant surgery? 🦷The key is the abrasive level and whether it irritates the gums. Why is a lower RDA better? Toothpaste contains stain remover abrasive It contains. But the higher the number, the greater the friction. General commercial toothpaste: RDA 70-100 or more Toothpaste with whitening properties: RDA 120-150 or higher If you use this toothpaste immediately after implant surgery, As the border area of the prosthesis wears slightly, Risk of bacterial invasion This can grow. ✔️ Recommended criteria RDA 30~50 or less Products labeled 'low-abrasive toothpaste' Why should I check for surfactants (SLS)? When there is a lot of foam, it is easy to feel that it is 'cleaning well', The key ingredient of that foam is SLS series surfactants This is often the case. This ingredient is Stimulates the gum mucosa It makes your mouth dry May slow down the healing of surgical sites ⚠️ It is especially important to reduce stimulation immediately after implant surgery, as the gums are not yet stable. ✔️ Recommended criteria SLS-FREE labeling Surfactant-free or naturally derived surfactants Is more fluoride better? 🦷Fluoride is important in ‘appropriate amounts’. Fluoride is an ingredient that helps prevent cavities, Immediately after implant surgery Excessive fluoride irritates the mucous membranes may cause. When using high-fluoride toothpaste Stinging discomfort This may appear in some cases, so caution is required in the early stages. ✔️ Toothpaste selection criteria Fluorine content: approximately 900 to 1,000 ppm If you are having trouble deciding between high and low fluoride, choose the 'medium level' Will toothpaste with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients help? 🦷Antibacterial ingredients that can be managed without irritation may be helpful. Implants are relatively vulnerable to inflammation because of their limited vascular supply. thus Inhibits bacterial growth Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredients Toothpaste containing this may help. For example, CPC (cetylpyridinium chloride) green tea extract Herbal extract ingredients Xylitol but, ❌ Rather than focusing on strong sterilization ✔️ A level that can be used continuously without stimulation This is more important. Do I really need to use toothpaste specifically for implants? 🦷What matters is not the ‘name’ but the ‘ingredients and whether it is irritating’. To conclude, A toothpaste specifically for implants is not required. What's more important than expensive products is 👉 Ingredient composition 👉 Abrasive level 👉 Whether or not there is gum irritation. When choosing a toothpaste for implant surgery, choose a product that meets the criteria. Using it consistently This is much more important. FAQ Q1. Can I use toothpaste immediately after implant surgery? A1. Since the care method may vary depending on the condition of the gums immediately after surgery, it is recommended to follow the medical staff's instructions regarding the timing and products to be used. Q2. When can I start using whitening toothpaste? A2. Whitening toothpaste often contains high levels of abrasives, so it is safer to avoid it immediately after surgery and use it after your gums have stabilized and after a consultation. Q3. Are there any maintenance factors more important than toothpaste? A3. Yes. As much as toothpaste. Brushing methods and habits This is important. conclusion The implant surgery is over, but Management starts from then It will work. Choosing toothpaste during implant surgery may seem trivial, but it can affect the long-term health of your implants. ✔️ It doesn't have to be expensive ✔️ Avoid whitening and foam-focused toothpastes. ✔️ Check the ingredient list again And most importantly How to use no see. Use a soft toothbrush Brush your teeth gently and gently If necessary, use auxiliary tools recommended by the dentist. The toothpaste you use today can determine the future condition of your implants. The first step in management, Please reconsider your choice of toothpaste.

hello, Smile Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. If you have to cover your mouth every time you smile because of your overbite... You may have wondered at least once, “Is it possible to correct teeth in this condition?” especially I'm told I need to get my teeth extracted This comes as the biggest concern. today The reason why teeth grow , based on actual proofreading cases Treatment process and selection criteria Let's organize it. 1. Why do overbites occur and do they always require orthodontic treatment? ✨Crowd teeth are an alignment problem that occurs when there is not enough space for the teeth to fit. The commonly referred to 'addiction' When there is not enough space in the jawbone to align the teeth It happens. especially Canines are the last teeth to come out Well, if there is not enough space, it is easy to get pushed out. ✔️ One of the concerns of patients during actual treatment is My overbite was so stressful that I had to cover my mouth with my hand every time I laughed. ✨ Overbite is not just a matter of appearance. In terms of dental care and oral health, Why Organized Arrangement Is Important It becomes. 🔸 In this case, you should consider correction. When you smile, your dentures show first When taking pictures is burdensome As you get older, it becomes more prominent ✔️ Important points White spots themselves rarely cause pain, In many cases, it is not a serious condition that progresses directly to cavities. 2. Is it really necessary to have orthodontic treatment? ✨Bracketing is an ‘option’, not an unconditional prerequisite. One of the biggest reasons why people hesitate to get braces is It's the fear of having to pull out your natural teeth. There are several ways to free up space. ✔️ Expand teeth laterally or forward ✔️ Interdental removal ✔️ or Extraction ⚠️ If you are severely lacking space, If you want to straighten your teeth without changing your appearance, Extraction is a more effective option This could be it. 📌 As one of the actual clinical cases, I underwent a 'unilateral extraction' where only one small molar on the side with the protruding tooth was extracted. As a result, we were able to complete a natural-looking dentition while minimizing the number of teeth extracted. 👉 What's important is Not about extraction, but a plan that suits my condition no see. 3. How long does braces take and what changes will occur? ✨Orthodontic treatment is not only about moving teeth, but also about ‘restoring self-confidence.’ After attaching the orthodontic device approximately About 7 months ago After passing Changes in the alignment of teeth are noticeable. In the case of the patient whose clinical case was shared above, approximately 1 year and 6 months I removed the device after a while, Even though only one side was extracted Very natural result with the midline aligned I got it. ✨ A word from a patient after treatment “Now I can laugh out loud with peace of mind.” Correction of overbite It is not simply a treatment to straighten teeth, The process of regaining a smiling face and everyday confidence This is also true. FAQ Q1. Is it necessary to extract the canine teeth when correcting overbite? A1. No. Since canines have long roots and are important teeth that affect one's impression, they are usually Functionally replaceable premolars Create space by extracting . Q2. Will my face shape change a lot if I have my teeth extracted? A2. Whether or not to extract Degree of lip protrusion and bone condition Analyze and decide. If the mouth does not come out much, Direction to minimize changes in appearance It is important to have sufficient consultation with a specialist to plan accordingly. Q3. How long does it usually take to correct overbite? A3. It depends on the individual's condition, but general overbite correction is About 1 year and 6 months to 2 years It takes about 10 minutes. In some cases, partial correction or interdental removal may shorten the period. conclusion The key to correcting overbite is not ‘unconditional’ but ‘customized’. What is more important than whether or not to extract the tooth ✔️ Accurately understanding the condition of my teeth and bones ✔️ Meet a specialist who will create a detailed treatment plan that suits you. Rather than making a decision right now, Get an accurate diagnosis of your condition What is the best choice for me? Start by consulting!

Why are dental implants for the elderly different starting from the consultation stage? 🔸The safety of the surgery is determined in the consultation room, not the operating table. The biggest feature of implants for the elderly is General health status and medications The point is that it must be considered together. Not only blood pressure and diabetes medications Osteoporosis medication or thrombolytics Is Because it has a direct effect on hemostasis and bone regeneration Prior verification is essential It is. Stopping medication unconditionally is not the answer. Stopping abruptly could actually be more dangerous. so Determine whether to control it through consultation with an internal medicine specialist or a thorough review.

If you have lost teeth a long time ago or have used dentures for a long time, The elderly person's gum bone When it has become as thin as a sheet of paper There are many. Just as plants planted in poor soil cannot survive for long, If you forcefully implant a bone insufficient amount of bone Shaking, detachment, reoperation It can lead to. So, what is needed is Bone grafting process no see. It is not simply filling with bone dust, Sufficient healing time until the transplanted bone fuses firmly with the patient's own bone Having it is the key.

By the time you feel pain, the inflammation has already progressed deeply. It could be. So, the important point Whether the regular check-up system is well-equipped How is after-sales service handled when a problem arises? → “I’ve finished planting, so I don’t have to go anymore” ❌ → Regular checkups are the most economical and safest management method no see. FAQ Q1. Is it impossible to get dental implants if my parents are taking medication? A1. That is not the case. Depending on the type and condition of the medicine Proceed safely after adjustment It is possible, and prior consultation is important for this. Q2. Is a bone graft absolutely necessary? A2.

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

정재욱 원장26.01.12Views 425Likes 6 [Health Column] Why does a double chin remain after contouring surgery, and how can I fix it?[7]
hello, 3D plastic surgery at Plastic surgery during doing Dr. Jae-won Heo, a plastic surgeon no see. contouring surgery I refined my jawline and facial contours through When I actually look at myself in the mirror “My jawline isn’t as defined as I thought.” Or “I still have a double chin.” There are times when I feel that way. You may be more confused when the bone lines look neat on the CT scan, but the actual appearance is different from what you expected. This is Because simply making the 'bones' pretty does not complete the entire facial contour. no see. today Why a double chin remains after contouring surgery , and we will tell you how the correction is done. 1. Why can a double chin remain even after contouring surgery? yo. this? 🎯 Just because the bones are reduced doesn't mean the tissues above them are also reduced. . contouring surgery Covered in Chin and square jaw is the deepest layer of the face, the 'bone structure'. 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. The important thing is, “An accurate diagnosis of why this phenomenon occurred”, Choosing the appropriate treatment method based on the results is the safest and most effective. If discomfort persists, consult with a medical professional We recommend that you check the current status carefully. 3D plastic surgery Director Heo Jae-won Graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine Yonsei University Graduate School, Master of Medicine Severance Hospital plastic surgery specialist Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Society of Craniofacial Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Rhinoplasty Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Anti-Aging Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, Liposuction Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Laser Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Botox, Filler, and Thread Lifting Research Group Director of Hyeon Ipsae Plastic Surgery Clinic 10 years of experience focusing on lifting

hello, Director Moon Ji-hwan of Rebom Oriental Medicine Hospital no see. When your back is stiff and pain persists, you may start to worry, “Could it be a herniated disc?” , you must have tried it at least once. Herniated disc It feels like a sudden illness, but in reality, The result of accumulated long-term postural habits and alignment breakdown. This is often the case. In particular, the feeling of back pain spreading to the buttocks or legs If this is the case, you should pay more attention. today How lumbar disc herniation begins, why it recurs, and why a structure-centered, nonsurgical approach is important. Let's talk. Read on! Why does a herniated disc occur? 👉 Because the burden on the disc is concentrated due to long-term posture and alignment problems. A herniated disc is a disc that absorbs shock between the vertebrae. A condition in which the nerves are stimulated by being pushed to one side due to the inability to withstand continuous pressure Yes. This pressure does not arise suddenly one day, ✔ Habit of sitting for long periods of time ✔ Working pattern with a bent back ✔ A life of leaning on a deep sofa ✔ Disorientation of pelvic and lumbar alignment These small habits in daily life accumulate over a long period of time and are created. Especially the intervertebral disc The structure is relatively weak at the back, so it is easy to be pushed backwards when repeated postural stress accumulates. This will cause problems. Before you suddenly feel a “twitch!” your back may have been sending signals long ago. It is important to consider the alignment surrounding your lower back rather than just the pain. What symptoms will appear if you have a herniated disc? 👉It doesn't just end with the waist, it can extend to the legs. Back pain isn't everything. When a disc irritates a nerve, pain occurs. ✔ Butt ✔ Thighs ✔ Calf ✔ Up to the feet Radiation tube type It can lead to. Additionally, symptoms may worsen when sitting for long periods of time, bending over, or leaning back excessively, and incorrect stretching may actually worsen the condition. In this case, you definitely need to check If back pain + leg numbness/pulling occurs together You need to check for nerve stimulation. Why do herniated discs recur? 👉Because pain reduction does not mean “alignment has been restored” Just because your symptoms have improved doesn't mean your structure has recovered. If the alignment issue is not resolved, pressure will be concentrated in the same area again, ultimately maintaining the 're-pushing environment'. Originally, the lower back should maintain a gentle C-shaped curve (lumbar lordosis) forward to be stable. When this disc collapses, the load is placed on a specific area of the disc, and the intervertebral disc takes over. So this is a pattern that many people experience. ✔ Get better → let your guard down → get worse again… This is not because the disk is weak, This is often because the lumbar-pelvic-hip axis continues to collapse. Non-surgical Approach: Why Is 'Restoring Spinal Alignment' Important? 👉 An approach that addresses "why the disk was pushed" rather than "the disk was pushed." Spinal alignment restoration surgery does not only look at the lower back, ✔ Waist ✔ Pelvis ✔ Hip joint Evaluating this axis together Focus on correcting broken alignments Leave it. As the alignment returns to its proper position, the pressure concentrated on the disc is relieved, Reduced burden on the nerves A more recovery-friendly environment This is created. The key is not simply to “reduce pain,” Addressing the cause to reduce recurrence are you. FAQ Q1. Do I really need surgery for a herniated disc? A1. Most cases can be recovered without surgery. However, if there are functional changes such as nerve paralysis, muscle weakness, or urinary problems, surgery may be necessary. Q2. Is stretching good for you? A2. Not all stretching is good. Excessive bending or bending of the waist can actually increase pressure, so it is important to proceed according to your individual condition. Q3. If the pain goes away, will it be a complete cure? A3. Pain relief is only part of recovery, and if alignment issues and lifestyle habits are not improved, the possibility of relapse remains. conclusion A herniated disc is not a disease that is simply caused by a single impact. The cumulative result of lifestyle and alignment issues This is often the case. So rather than just temporary pain relief, ✔ Restore balance of the lumbar-pelvic-hip joint structure ✔ Check your lifestyle habits ✔ Sorting-centric approach Doing this together is key to reducing relapse. If the pain is recurring or persists for a long time, check your current alignment and determine the cause of the stress on the disc. “It’s not about pain, it’s about correcting the structure.” It is the most important starting point for returning to a comfortable daily life.

문지환 원장25.12.31Views 185Likes 5 [Health Column] Is Bone Grafting Really Necessary for Implants? Key Points to Consider Before Surgery[7]
hello, Smile Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. At the dentist Implant consultation The most nerve-wracking moment when receiving it is “I need a bone graft.” Isn't it when you hear that? Costs are rising, and concerns are growing about whether treatment is truly necessary. In particular, you may have had the experience of being confused because the language was slightly different at each hospital. But rather than worrying Accurate understanding comes first. Today, we'll explain what implant 'bone grafting' is, whether it's really necessary for everyone, and even give you some tips for making a wise decision. 1. What exactly does implant bone grafting mean? ✨Bone grafting is not a process of ‘filling in bone’, but rather a process of creating space for new bone to grow. Many people think of bones as hard and unchanging tissues like stone, but in reality, Bone is a living tissue that is continuously created and reshaped and has microscopically porous structures. no see. thus Implant bone grafting is not simply a concept of filling, The process of creating space for bone cells to grow into It's much easier to understand if you think of it this way. When building a house, if you first set up the 'formwork', concrete will be poured into it and harden, right? Bone grafting is similar! The graft material acts as a mold. As my bone cells grow and enter it, it hardens into solid bone over time. In other words, bone grafting is not a process of 'attaching' bones, but a process of creating a 'frame (space)' for new bone growth. 2. What materials are used for bone grafting? Many people worry, “It’s not even my bone, so will it be okay?” bone graft material It is broadly divided into the following: 🔸 autologous bone Bone taken from the patient during surgery 🔸 heterognathic bone Materials safely processed from animal bones such as cows, horses, and pigs 🔸 Homologous bone Materials collected from another person's tissue and then sterilized and verified No single ingredient is always the best! They are used in combination according to the patient's gum bone condition and defect range. 3. So… is it impossible to get an implant ‘without bone grafting’? ✨ The correct answer is NO. Bone grafting is not necessary in all cases. The most important factor in deciding whether to have a bone graft is right, “How long has it been since you lost your tooth?” 📌 In this case, it is likely to be 'necessary' ⬆️ If you have lost a tooth for a long time and the gum bone has been absorbed a lot When the remaining bone thickness is very thin 📌 In this case, it may be 'avoidable' If the tooth was extracted relatively recently and there is sufficient existing bone remaining Also, these days, as implant technology advances, In some cases, stable implantation is possible without major surgery by using a 'short implant'. as a result “Bone grafting is not something that must always be done,” but rather a treatment that is decided based on the patient’s condition! 4. Short implants, are they okay? class I thought that a long implant would be advantageous, but Nowadays, surface technology and fixation power have advanced. Even short implants can be expected to provide sufficient stability. FAQ Q1. Are the purposes of bone grafting different for front teeth, molars, and teeth? A1. Yes, they are different. Molars must withstand strong chewing forces, so functional stability is the primary goal. Front teeth, on the other hand, are important for aesthetic reasons, as they need to prevent gum recession and shape changes. Therefore, if there is enough bone left on the molar side, it is possible to make a strategic choice of not necessarily going for bone grafting. Q2. If I don't do bone grafting and place a short implant, won't it be weak? A2. Surface treatment technology has improved, so you can expect sufficient fixing power. Q3. Is there anything patients can do in advance to avoid implant bone grafting? A3. If you manage inflammation well before tooth extraction, the implant environment can be greatly improved. Conclusion - “Knowing your bone condition and making a choice” is the most important. Implants are not simply a treatment to fill empty spaces. The process of remaking parts of my body no see. ✔️ “Everyone else is doing it” ✔️ “Because the hospital told me to do it” It's not something you can just decide. ✨ What is the condition of my bones? ✨ Is the purpose of bone grafting functional or aesthetic? ✨ Is there no alternative? It is wisest to compare and decide slowly based on this standard. If necessary, seek consultation from several hospitals. A treatment plan tailored to your oral condition I hope you find it.

hello. Berry Good Plastic Surgery Director Lim Young-min no see. There are so many people who suffer from stuffy nose, runny nose, and sneezing every season, right? Recently, not only is there a 'cosmetic nose job' for the sake of simply looking pretty, I want to solve functional problems such as rhinitis and nasal congestion. Functional rhinoplasty The number of people looking for it is also increasing. Functional rhinoplasty is performed in collaboration between a plastic surgeon and an otolaryngologist. A surgical method that can simultaneously improve both appearance and respiratory function. But. Today, we will summarize what functional rhinoplasty is and in what cases it can be helpful. What is functional rhinoplasty and why is collaboration important? 🌿Functional rhinoplasty is Rhinoplasty that simultaneously improves appearance and internal function Functional rhinoplasty is cosmetic rhinoplasty class Nasal disease surgery second Go together It is a surgery. For this purpose Collaborative consultation between a plastic surgeon and an otolaryngologist This is very important. ✨ The role of a plastic surgeon Consider the harmony of face shape and facial features Consideration of material selection and structural stability for the nose support Establishing a personalized surgical plan through sufficient consultation with the patient ✨ Why collaboration is important It’s not just a “nose that looks pretty” This is to complete “a nose that is comfortable to breathe in and functionally comfortable.” As much as “becoming pretty”, The process of checking both safety and functionality is very important. do. What are some nasal conditions and when should I consider surgery? 🌿 When nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing occur repeatedly due to rhinitis, etc. Representative nasal diseases include rhinitis There is this. Rhinitis is a disease that causes inflammation inside the nose (nasal cavity). It can usually be identified by the following symptoms: ✔️ Stuffy nose ✔️ Runny nose ✔️ Sneezing Many people try drug treatment first, but There are many cases where the symptoms get better only after taking medication, and then the discomfort returns. If your symptoms are severe or cause significant inconvenience in your daily life, In some cases, improvement can be expected through surgical treatment. What types of nasal surgery are there? Representative nasal disease surgeries that can be considered along with functional rhinoplasty include the following: 🔹 Deviated septum The nasal septum cartilage that supports the center of the nose is bent, It can cause functional disorders such as nasal congestion, rhinitis, and sinusitis. also Your nose may appear crooked on the outside. there is. The surgery Correcting curved cartilage and bones and reinforcing the support So We use an approach that improves both function and appearance. 🔹 inferior turbinate hypertrophy The inferior turbinate is an important structure that purifies and regulates the air inside the nose. If this organization grows abnormally large, Inflammation, increased runny nose, and swelling of the mucous membranes occur. It is also linked to rhinitis and sinusitis. In this case Excision of excessive tissue of the inferior turbinate Surgery to free up space may be considered. 🔹 Nonvalvular stenosis The narrow space inside the upper part of the nose is blocked Problems that can lead to difficulty breathing and sleep disturbances no see. It is often difficult to confirm with the naked eye We will identify the cause through precise examinations such as 3D-CT, Surgery may be performed to widen the space and aid breathing. Why is it good to have cosmetic rhinoplasty and functional rhinoplasty together? 🌿 Satisfied with the appearance + a nose that is comfortable to breathe in at the same time In fact, I had planned to have a nose job for cosmetic reasons, but during the examination, functional problems were also discovered, so I had to have two surgeries. proceed simultaneously This is happening more and more often. Many people “I’m satisfied with the shape, but what if it’s difficult to breathe?” I'm worried about that. so ✔️ Appearance improvements ✔️ Functional improvements This is why it is important to consider both aspects in surgery. At this time too Collaboration between plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists is essential. A medical staff system that understands and communicates each area well greatly increases satisfaction with the results. What is the role of an otolaryngologist in functional diagnosis and follow-up care? 🌿 From accurate cause identification to customized surgery and post-operative function check. ENT specialist is responsible for accurately identifying the anatomical structure and functional problems of the nose and designing a surgery that suits the patient's condition. ✔️ Explain functional problems and their causes to patients in an easy-to-understand manner ✔️ Check individual cartilage condition and internal structure ✔️ Customized surgery ✔️ Check whether function has improved after surgery Additionally, the better the collaborative system is established, the more likely it is that results will be achieved that satisfy both form and function. FAQ 💬 Q1. Do I have to receive functional rhinoplasty at a collaborative hospital? A1. Because both cosmetic purposes and functional improvement are often required, It is helpful to choose a hospital where plastic surgery and otolaryngology can work together to develop treatment and surgical plans. Q2. Are there cases where drug treatment alone is not sufficient? A2. Some nasal diseases, such as rhinitis, may improve with medication, only to return with discomfort. If symptoms are severe and functional discomfort is significant, surgical options may be discussed. Q3. Is functional rhinoplasty different from simple cosmetic rhinoplasty? A3. The difference is that it is not simply a ‘surgery to make the nose pretty’, but rather a ‘surgery that also improves breathing comfort’. conclusion The nose is the center of the face An organ responsible for the important function of breathing no see. So, don't just look at the appearance, Diagnosis and consultation that examines the harmony and function of the entire face are necessary. do. ✔️ Plastic surgery and ENT departments working together Collaborative system ✔️ Nasal endoscopy, 3D-CT, etc. Accurate diagnostic equipment ✔️ Medical staff with sufficient consultation and abundant clinical experience In a place where these conditions are met, it is advisable to carefully choose the method that suits you.

hello. Dr. Hyunwoo Cho, Director of 3D Plastic Surgery no see. Every time I look in the mirror Protruding cheekbones Aren't there a lot of people stressed out because of this? "I want to get surgery to make myself smaller, but I'm too scared of bone cutting." I hear this a lot in the clinic. The burden of general anesthesia, concerns about pin fixation, and a long recovery period For those of you who are worried and hesitant, Today, I will explain about the '230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery' that reduces the burden of surgery while creating smooth lines. Why was 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery introduced? 📌 The Shift in Trends: From "Big Bone Cuts" to "Precise Trimming" past There are many patients whose cheekbones themselves are very developed. '3D clavicle reduction surgery' that boldly cuts and moves bones This was common. But patients visiting hospitals recently are a little different. Rather than cases where the bone needs to be cut out significantly, A 'smoothing-focused' case that wants to smooth out uneven lines. There are a lot more. Patients' needs have changed, so surgical methods cannot remain the same. So I thought about it. ✔️ Is general anesthesia absolutely necessary? ✔️ Is it really necessary to remove a large amount of bone? ✔️ Is it possible to achieve results while reducing the burden? A method to create the slim line you want while reducing the burden of major problems such as general anesthesia or oral incisions. The technique designed to do this is called ‘230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery.’ How exactly is 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery performed? 📌Using shaving technology and cheekbone 'elasticity', it precisely reduces only the necessary area. Many people wonder what the difference is between the 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery and the 'quick reduction surgery'. commonly Quick zygomatic reduction surgery It literally means to operate quickly, mainly excluding 45 degree angles. side clown only It is often dealt with. In this case, there are many cases where the 45-degree wide angle is not improved, resulting in low satisfaction, or where patients end up considering reoperation with 3D wide angle reduction surgery. the other side, 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery It is as simple as a quick reduction surgery, but it is also a lot of trouble. Solve up to 45 degree angles together There is a big difference in that they do it. 45 degree angle (under eye): Without cutting the bone completely Partial osteotomy Only then do the protruding part. Shaving So it grinds smoothly . approximately A reduction effect of about 2~3mm You can see it, and you can expect a slimness that is comparable to that of a real 3D reduction surgery. Side cheekbones (in front of ears): After slightly separating the bones, push them inward like a drawer to reduce the overall width of the face. {CT images before and after 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery (left and right)} 💡 Wait! People like this, be careful! if The 45 degree cheekbone itself If it is very large and thick Ramen, shaving techniques alone may not be effective, so a traditional '3D face reduction surgery' may be more suitable. Before surgery Accurate diagnosis through CT scan This is essential no see. Fixed pins, do I really need them? What's the difference? 📌You can choose according to the patient's condition and preference. Because the 230-degree stereoscopic implant does not cut out the entire bone, there is a wide range of options for bone fixation methods. In fact, the selection ratio of my patients is also very diverse. Non-fixed (33%) : Wait for natural adhesion without pins. Preferred by those sensitive to foreign substances. Titanium pins (33%) : It is fixed as firmly as possible (as seen on the X-ray). Melting Pin (33%) : Over time, it is absorbed into the body and disappears (not visible on X-rays). (Pre- and post-operative CT images with titanium pin fixation) (Pre- and post-operative CT images with fixation using melting pins) 👨⚕️ Tip from Director Hyunwoo Jo: Even though the results after surgery are the same, the bones harden quickly. If you are concerned about your bones not healing after surgery , Pin it I would recommend a little more. However, through sufficient consultation, you can choose the method that is right for you. FAQ 🙋♀️🙋♂️ Q1. What is the difference between 230-degree stereoscopic reduction surgery and 3D reduction surgery? A1. 3D reduction surgery A method of cutting the entire cheekbone + side cheekbone at a 45 degree angle with an incision inside the mouth no see.

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

hello, Director Kim Hyeong-min of Rebom Oriental Medicine Hospital (Daegu Branch) no see. When neck or back pain makes daily life difficult, the first word that comes to mind for many people is ' disk 'no see. But the disc is not just a 'sore spot' problem, Changes in posture, habits, and alignment that have accumulated over a long period of time result Did you know that? This time, let's understand the disk from a slightly different perspective, When is surgery necessary? , What to be careful about in life , What management is helpful? I'd like to explain. Rather than being blindly afraid, try to understand it accurately and deal with it wisely! 1. Is a herniated disc really a disease that occurs suddenly? ✅ The disk is not the 'culprit', but rather a structure closer to the 'victim' that is the first to get tired in the collapsed alignment. When a disc bulges, it's easy to think, "The disc caused the problem," but before that, a lot of changes are already happening inside your body. turtle neck with the head tilted forward hunched sitting posture Lifestyle habits that place weight on one side As this situation repeats, pressure is concentrated on a specific area, and eventually the disc that cannot withstand it is pushed out. ✔️ Key points Disc protrusion is a 'result' The cause is a breakdown in the alignment of the entire body. It is important to look at the structure together. 2. What postures and habits can worsen disc problems? ✅ Certain movements can push the disc further toward the nerve, making symptoms worse. If you have a disk Behaviors to be especially careful about There is this. 🔸 Deep bending of the waist 🔸 Maintaining a squat position for a long time 🔸 Lifting heavy objects using only your back strength 🔸 Excessive stretching by folding the waist in half ⚠️ If your arms and legs feel numb or the pain feels like electric shocks, it is not just pain. It may be a sign of neurological symptoms, so more attention is needed. do. In times like these, rather than overdoing exercise, Rest to maintain alignment and reduce pressure This first are you. ✔️ importance point Keep your back straight Remove unnecessary force No excessive exercise 3. Is walking good exercise even if I have a herniated disc? ✅ Depending on the situation, it can be either ‘helpful’ or ‘burdensome.’ Walking is generally a good exercise for your back, but An exception may be made in the acute disc stage. If the nerve is strongly compressed, walking for a long time will actually increase the pressure and make the pain and radiating pain worse. Because you can do it. ✔️ Try this 🔹 Short, frequent walks with your back straight 🔹 If you have trouble standing for a long time, lean against the back of a chair. 🔹 If you have to sit for a long time, use a cushion to keep your back aligned. In the end, what matters is not “how much exercise you do,” “Do it in a way that suits the current situation?” no see. 4. So… do I really need surgery? ✅ Most discs can be improved sufficiently with care and alignment restoration without surgery. When a herniated disc is seen on an MRI, many people worry and ask, “Do I need surgery now…?” But in reality, There are very limited cases where surgery is absolutely necessary. no see. ⚠️ When surgery should be considered If your arm/leg muscles become noticeably thinner or lose strength rapidly A situation where one's ankle is twisted and one is limping Sudden incontinence (emergency) But these cases are only a very small fraction of the total. Most of them Improvement is possible with just spinal alignment restoration and lifestyle modification. As the alignment is restored, the pressure concentrated on the disc is naturally distributed and the pain also begins to stabilize. ✔️ Key Message Understanding “why the disc is herniated” rather than whether or not to have surgery Changing your environment is key to long-term recovery. FAQ Q1. Can the disc heal on its own over time? A1. Some may recover naturally over time, but if the misalignment persists, repeated pressure on the same area may cause it to worsen again. So, along with recovery, Alignment and load flow management are required together. do. Q2. I have a herniated disc. Should I exercise or not? A2. It depends on the situation. During the acute phase, maintaining alignment is more important than excessive exercise. After the recovery period, light muscle strengthening and functional recovery exercises can be helpful in stages. The important thing is: Whether the exercise is suitable for my current condition no see. conclusion The key to disc treatment is ‘alignment’. Discs aren't something that suddenly appears one day. They're the first structures to wear out over time, thanks to accumulated lifestyle habits and alignment issues. Therefore, rather than focusing solely on the area where pain is present, Examining alignment, load, and movement flow together is the most important factor in solving the fundamental problem. ✔️ Key points to remember today Only a very small number of cases require surgery. Most people can improve sufficiently with alignment restoration and lifestyle correction. It's more important to "fix the environment" than to "blame the disk." Rather than being anxious, check your body condition now and manage it safely with expert advice. We support healthy movement and a comfortable daily life!

hello, 3D plastic surgery at During surgery doing Dr. Jae-won Heo, a plastic surgeon no see. There is a phrase I hear most often in the clinic these days. “I’ve been getting facelifts once or twice a year, but now it seems to be having little effect.” And the question that comes up right after, “I’ve had facelifts several times. Is it possible to have a facelift?” Anyone who has had repeated thread lifting will have faced this concern at least once. today Why Facelift Surgery Can Be More Complicated After a Facelift cast, Cases confirmed in actual clinical settings and international academic journals Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (2025) Dr. Yordan P. Yordanov research paper I will explain it focusing on . 1. What type of lifting procedure is thread lifting? 🎯 What is a thread lift? It is a non-surgical lifting method that physically pulls the skin using threads under the skin. 🔹 Thread lifting is a procedure that involves inserting absorbable threads under the skin. A method of pulling up sagging areas no see. 🔹 Immediately after the procedure, you may feel your jawline or nasolabial folds lifted. immediate change It feels like an advantage. Choosing a facelift usually starts with the following reasons: “ Major surgery is a burden When you just want to do some light lifting” “ Whenever I feel my face sagging “If you choose to repeat the non-surgical method” 2. Why do changes occur in the internal tissues with repeated thread lifting? 🎯Silifting Even after the thread disappears, traces of the organization may remain. 🔸 Absorbable threads (PDO, PLLA, PCL, etc.) used in thread lifting dissolve over time. 🔸 But in this process Stimulates collagen production And that place fibrous tissue can be changed to 👉 Research has shown how these changes actually manifest themselves. Dr. Yordanov will be present from 2021 to 2023 History of receiving thread lifting Ten patients (average age 59 years) were studied. facial lifting surgery We conducted the experiment and directly observed the internal organizational status. in result, The following common changes were identified in all patients: ✔️ The area where the thread entered Become hardened ✔️ Skin, subcutaneous fat, and SMAS layers adhesion ✔️ Anatomically important layers reduced mobility ✔️ Increased surgical time : Difficulty in removing the skin layer and increased bleeding in other words, "Even if the truth melts, organizational change can remain." That is the key point. 3. How will these tissue changes affect facial contouring surgery? 🎯 The surgical procedure may become more difficult. 🔹 Facial contouring surgery involves exfoliating and reshaping the tissue beneath the skin. 🔹 But after the thread lifting In cases of fibrosis and adhesion , → Organizational separation becomes more difficult → Anatomical distinction may become difficult during surgery. ✨ A common point confirmed in research papers is, “ Silifting is Changes that leave a lasting impact on an organization are more lasting than temporary effects. .” “ thread lifting After Facial contouring It becomes much more anatomically complex .” in other words , repetitive thread lifting silver 'Later surgery' Making it difficult 'viewless evidence' second It means to leave behind . 4. So, if I had a facelift, would it be impossible to get a facelift? 🎯 No, it's not. But 'information sharing' is important. ✔️ Just because you've had facelifts multiple times Facial augmentation is not impossible. ✔️ I also perform mainly facial contouring surgeries, and I often meet patients who undergo surgery after thread lifting. It is very rare for someone to choose a facelift from the beginning without ever having tried a threadlift. Looking at actual surgical cases, one in three cases shows evidence of previous insertion of lifting threads. 📌 However, Information you must know before surgery There is. 🔸 Treatment period 🔸 Treatment area 🔸 Type of thread used 🔸 Number of treatments ⚠️ You need this information, → Avoid unexpected adhesions during surgery → See Safe surgical planning can be established. 5. How does thread lifting compare to other procedures? 🎯 Not all treatments have the same effects. 🔹 When you look at the clinical site, Collagen stimulants (such as Juvelook) Fat grafting/liposuction Certain volume control procedures (such as Accusculpt) This can actually make the surgery more complicated. ✨ Compared to this, Traces of lifting thread are relatively easy to clean up. It often falls into this category. What's important is not 'what kind of procedure was performed', but 'how accurately was it shared with the medical staff?' FAQ ❓ Q1. Why does the effect of thread lifting disappear quickly? A1. Since thread lifting does not fundamentally reposition the structure, the lifting effect may diminish over time. In some cases, the effects may be felt longer when combined with other procedures. Q2. I'm considering a face lift. Which would be better, thread lifting or face lifting? A2. It depends on the degree of sagging and the desired effect. Non-surgical methods may be considered for mild sagging, while surgical methods may be more appropriate for moderate to severe sagging. Q3. When can I return to my daily routine after a facial contouring procedure? I'm curious about the recovery period. A3. Initially, there will be swelling and tightness, but this will gradually stabilize over a period of time. Recovery rates may vary depending on individual condition. Conclusion 🧾 Although thread lifting is simple, Internal tissue changes may remain when repeated. This change was followed by facial contouring surgery. Factors that make it more delicate This could be it. ✔️ This does not mean that surgery is impossible. Sharing accurate treatment history is key no see. ✨ Rather than just choosing, Check the current status and past treatment history together do Consult with a specialist thoroughly The right direction for me It is important to find . 3D plastic surgery Director Heo Jae-won Graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine Master of Medicine, Yonsei University Graduate School Severance Hospital plastic surgery specialist Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Society of Craniofacial Plastic Surgery Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Rhinoplasty Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Anti-Aging Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, Liposuction Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Laser Plastic Surgery Research Group Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons' Botox, Filler, and Thread Lifting Research Group Director of Hyeon Ipsae Plastic Surgery Clinic 10 years of experience focusing on lifting 👉 Are you curious about the facial contouring surgery of Dr. Jae-Won Heo of 3D Plastic Surgery?

Is it better to cut more of the clavicle reduction surgery? 📌 During rhinoplasty, excessive resection can lead to decreased sensation, nonunion, and sinus problems. cheekbone reduction surgery The bone is cut to reduce the “anterior clown”. After cutting the bone at this time, The severed front and back bones must be reattached to each other. do. cheekbone reduction surgery The area that is often resected is commonly called the '45° cheekbone line'. Around here The nerve responsible for sensation around the eyes This is located ( Blue circle in the picture below ), In the past, a method of resecting this part as well was often used. (CT image of cystectomy) In this case, 🔸 dull sensation around the eyes 🔸 Reduced distance for rear clown to stick → Nonunion (a condition in which the bones do not heal properly) generation 🔸 If the bone does not heal properly, cover it The skin appears to be sagging due to weakened foundation. 🔸 The sinuses are widely exposed Increased risk of developing sinusitis Problems like this may appear: Recently, the amount of cheekbone removal has been reduced How to rotate backwards ( Clown Rotation : Simply put, changing the direction of the cut bone and reattaching it. ) It is widely chosen for its safety and preference. Square Jaw Surgery: "Will the more I cut off my jaw, the slimmer I'll look?" 📌 The most important thing in square jaw surgery is that the safety line is below the nerve line, and if you remove more than that, there is a risk of sensory loss.

Also, due to excessive moderation 🔸 Remaining bone area becomes smaller 🔸 Cases where the bone is absorbed and loses its shape is also observed. in other words, If you only look at the short-term results, it may look slimmer, As time goes by The opposite result may occur, where the outline collapses. It should be noted that: FAQ 🙋♀️🙋♂️ Q1. What kind of contouring surgery should I get if my face looks wide? A1. If the cheekbone line appears wide, consider the cheekbone and square jaw together. This happens often. From the side In cases where the jawline is long, the chin area is also reduced. This is also utilized. However, since the amount of resection is determined by the individual's skeletal range, an actual CT-based evaluation is required during consultation. Q2. Can I request that the bone be shaved as much as I want during contouring surgery? A2. Bones are not like clay that can be sculpted freely. Vascular thickness, nerve location, bone fusion extent, etc. Each has its own average limits. Therefore, patient goals and the actual possible surgical scope may not be the same. Q3. How long does contouring surgery recovery take? A3. Usually Major swelling lasts for about two weeks It is common for the swelling to subside, and residual swelling may persist for longer. The average recovery time is Step-by-step changes over several weeks You can expect the flow to go through . conclusion contouring surgery It doesn't simply lead to "the more you delete, the better". ✔ Excessive bone removal may result in sensory problems. ✔ Sagging, absorption, and nonunion may occur after recovery. ✔ More than the removal range Safe structural preservation increases long-term satisfaction.

Facial asymmetry ? " This kind of worry , You've probably tried it at least once . In fact, many people come for orthodontic consultation.

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

hello. Director Kim Hyun-soon of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. Contrary to statements like “it’s simple” or “you only need to slightly fix the front teeth” when searching for partial orthodontics There are even claims that it has "many side effects" and that "you absolutely must not do it"... It's really confusing. actually Partial orthodontics is a highly advanced treatment requiring very precise diagnosis and experience. no see. It is not a treatment suitable for everyone, but A fast and efficient choice for those who meet the criteria. It could be this. So today How partial orthodontic treatment for the front teeth is performed , and Why careful consideration is necessary I will summarize it for you in the easiest way possible. 1. Can anyone receive partial orthodontics? ▶ If you make a decision based solely on appearances, unexpected results may occur! Partial correction is simply Just make your front teeth slightly straight! It is not a treatment. If you judge based only on the visible arrangement, rather Cases where the result is more unsatisfactory than before the correction There is also. because The shape of the front teeth silver Overall occlusion (molar bite), asymmetry, degree of protrusion Because it is all connected. are you. ✔ People like these Partial correction target This could be It's not a protruding mouth The molar occlusion is normal and In cases where only the front teeth are slightly misaligned Partial correction is a treatment with clear 'cases where it is possible' and 'cases where it should not be done'. You must first check the overall diagnosis (occlusion, angle, root direction, asymmetry). 2. Is partial orthodontics really a simple treatment? ▶ If even one tooth moves, the whole set is affected! Partial orthodontics may seem like "just move the misaligned teeth slightly and you're done!" In actual medical practice A much more complex and precise plan This is necessary. My front teeth look a little crooked, so I want to get partial braces. Upon examination, there was a full protrusion, and there was a risk of it sticking out further. I think we just need to change the location a little... → If the occlusion is altered, the shape of the mouth may change. Teeth are connected to each other Because it exists Even if you move just one Total occlusion, root direction, tooth angle, gum health It affects up to.

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.

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

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

At the center of it all is Invisalign There is a brand called . In the previous column too I briefly mentioned this when introducing the types of orthodontic devices. 👉[Health Column] Lingual Braces vs. Invisalign: How to Choose the 'Unnoticeable Braces'? Today, we'll delve deeper into Invisalign, exploring its advantages and limitations, as well as the importance of medical professionals. 1. What is Invisalign? Invisalign was developed by Align Technology in the United States. Representative transparent orthodontic device no see. Without the traditional wires or brackets, Device made of transparent plastic This method involves dividing the teeth into several stages (usually 20 to 100 stages) and wearing them sequentially to gradually move the teeth. ✔️ Invisalign production process - Scan your teeth with an intraoral digital scanner - Send scan data to US headquarters - Create 3D simulations based on tooth movement plans designed by medical staff - 3D printing of step-by-step transparent devices -Once the completed device arrives at the dentist, orthodontic treatment begins. The teeth move little by little as you wear the devices in a sequence that is meticulously planned for each step, and correction progresses. This whole process digital foundation In that it is made up of , Invisalign can be said to be an innovative orthodontic method that uses technology. 2. Advantages and limitations of Invisalign Invisalign silver 'Unobtrusive', 'Removable' has great advantages in two aspects. It is a treatment method that provides high satisfaction, especially to adults who are active in daily life or social activities. ✔️ Advantages - Almost invisible due to transparent device - The device is removable, making it easy to maintain oral hygiene. - Less gum irritation and relatively mild initial pain - Temporarily removable for important locations or filming However, Invisalign is not a panacea.

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

Many people “Isn’t it because my gums are receding due to incorrect orthodontic treatment?” You may ask, but in fact, your gums may appear to go down temporarily as your teeth move during the orthodontic treatment. However, these changes will usually recover naturally over time once the correction is complete.

김현순 원장25.07.03Views 353Likes 6 [Health Column] Which orthodontic device is best? Comparing ceramic, Clippy-C, and Invisalign[2]
Director Kim Hyun-sun Hello. I am Director Kim Hyun-soon of Ceramic Dental Clinic. Ceramic, Clippy C, Invisalign Which of the three main orthodontic devices is best to choose? If you decide to undergo orthodontic treatment, you will once again face a crossroads of choice. It's about deciding which orthodontic appliance to use. Today, I will compare and summarize the three most commonly chosen orthodontic appliances, focusing on their advantages. 1. Ceramic Braces Ceramic braces are orthodontic devices that use ceramic materials similar in color to teeth, providing excellent aesthetic effects. Additionally, it has high durability, allowing for long-term use, and the individual packaging ensures hygienic attachment. ✔️Recommended for: Those who want discreet braces while minimizing costs. 2. Clippy-C Correction (Self-ligation Bracket) Clippy-C orthodontics is a bracket correction method that uses a self-ligating system to fix the wire without rubber rings. Since the wire is fixed with a special clip inside the bracket, it is easy to replace and more hygienic. This is advantageous for preventing cavities and gum diseases, and also makes oral hygiene management easier. Additionally, the low friction force between the brackets and wires allows for efficient tooth movement. (However, the speed of tooth movement and pain levels vary between individuals.) ✔️Recommended for: Busy professionals or students who want to reduce the interval between visits and prefer more efficient dental visits. 3. Invisalign Invisalign is an orthodontic device made of transparent plastic material without wires or brackets. It is a brand of Align Technology in the United States, and it is especially popular among those who prioritize aesthetics. The device can be removed during meals or brushing, providing great convenience in daily life, and its tooth movement efficiency is also superior to that of regular clear aligners. It is also suitable for cases where both functionality and aesthetics are emphasized, as it can be applied to relatively complex malocclusions. However, Invisalign is custom-made at the U.S. headquarters based on 3D scan data, so it tends to be more expensive than other orthodontic devices. ✔️Recommended for: Those who prefer discreet orthodontics and need removable options in daily life (such as broadcasters, customer service professionals, public speakers, etc.). Summary comparison of three types of orthodontic appliances 1. Ceramic correction - Type: Tooth-colored ceramic brackets - Advantage: Less noticeable and durable - Recommendation: For those seeking general aesthetic orthodontics - Cost: ★★☆☆☆ (Average) ② Clippy correction - Type: Self-ligating bracket (no rubber band) - Advantages: Convenient outpatient visits, cavity prevention, efficient tooth movement - Recommendation: Busy professionals and students - Cost: ★★★☆☆ (Moderate) ③ Invisalign - Shape: Transparent plastic (detachable) - Advantages: discreet and convenient, precise correction possible - Recommendation: Those who want orthodontic treatment that does not show through appearance or profession - Cost: ★★★★★ (High) 4. How should I choose orthodontic appliances? Orthodontic appliances cannot be chosen solely based on aesthetics or convenience. Because the most suitable device can vary depending on an individual's dental condition, oral structure, and lifestyle patterns. ✅ Pre-orthodontic checkpoints How are your usual oral hygiene habits? How flexible is the interval between outpatient visits during orthodontic treatment? Is the environment during the correction period sensitive to appearance and interpersonal relationships? - How much budget are you considering? Please consider these factors together and choose the orthodontic method that best suits you through a professional dentist's precise diagnosis and consultation.

김현순 원장25.06.26Views 681Likes 5 [Health Column] Tooth Extraction for Orthodontics, Is It Absolutely Necessary? Criteria for Orthodontic Extraction and Tips for Choosing a Dentist[9]
Director Kim Hyun-sun Hello. I am Director Kim Hyun-soon of Ceramic Dental Clinic. One of the most frequently asked questions during orthodontic consultations is, "Do I have to extract teeth during orthodontic treatment?" In this article, I will explain in detail the reasons why tooth extraction may be necessary for orthodontics, clarify misconceptions about side effects, and outline the criteria to consider when choosing an orthodontic clinic. 1. Why is extraction necessary during orthodontic treatment? Orthodontics is not just a treatment to straighten teeth. This is a comprehensive treatment that considers the structure of the jawbone, the overall oral shape, and even the facial profile. Especially in cases where space is limited, some teeth need to be extracted to evenly align the teeth. Conversely, when there is enough space, satisfactory results can be achieved with non-extraction orthodontics. In other words, whether to perform orthodontic extraction depends on the patient's oral structure and tooth condition, and accurate assessment and planning are essential during the initial diagnosis. 2. Side effects of orthodontic extraction, should I be worried? "Is it okay to extract a healthy tooth?" What should I do if my mouth looks too small? This is a common concern for many people before orthodontic extraction. However, in cases where extraction is necessary, proceeding with non-extraction treatment forcefully may result in teeth not fitting into their proper positions, ultimately leading to the need for re-treatment. This can lead to increased time, cost, and psychological burden. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis and professional treatment plan are the best ways to reduce side effects. 3. How long does it take to recover after tooth extraction? Extraction is a surgical procedure, but in the case of a normal healthy extraction, the pain subsides within a few days. It does not significantly interfere with the orthodontic treatment. However, in cases of slower recovery, careful attention to oral hygiene management and dietary regulation is necessary. 4. How should I choose an orthodontic clinic? Orthodontic treatment typically takes more than 2 to 3 years. Therefore, the choice of dentist inevitably greatly influences the satisfaction with the treatment. The considerations when making a choice are as follows. Do you have enough treatment experience with cases similar to mine? Do you have clinical expertise in both extraction and non-extraction orthodontics? Is there a precise diagnostic system equipped for accurate diagnosis? Don't just consider the price or location, It is important to choose a hospital that offers customized treatment tailored to my oral condition. Conclusion: The decision to extract depends on the individual's dental structure. Tooth alignment and extraction are never topics with a single correct answer. It depends on the patient's oral structure, tooth arrangement, and treatment goals. If you are considering whether to extract the tooth, Receive an accurate diagnosis through consultation with a specialist with extensive clinical experience. A careful plan is the first step toward healthy correction. It is a path that leads to a beautiful and natural smile.

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.
