[Health Column] Orthodontics: Are Brackets the Answer or Clear Aligners? A Guide to Choosing the Right Device for You 🦷✨[1]
hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. 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! Appearance is important and the personality is meticulous If so? 👉 Invisalign! The most important thing is your oral health.

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

이현섭 원장26.04.30Views 69Likes 4 [Health Column] Is It Over Once the Implant Prosthesis Is Placed? Everything You Need to Know About 'Aftercare' That Determines Lifespan[2]
hello! Son Dong-guk, Chief Director of Toktok Plant Dental Clinic It is. 😊 ✏️ At the end of the long journey of implant treatment, once the artificial tooth (prosthesis) is perfectly fitted, There are so many patients who breathe a sigh of relief, saying, "Phew, it's all over now!" but The real success of your implant starts now. Did you know that? So that you can use the implants you spent significant cost and precious time to complete healthily for a lifetime, The lifespan of the prosthesis Core Management Principles I will explain it to you easily and kindly. ✏️ If the prosthesis becomes loose or falls out, does that mean the implant has failed? 👉🏻Don't panic! It can be a natural phenomenon. Implant prostheses are secured by tightening screws or using special adhesive, and the issues that occur when we chew food Tremendous pressure because Over time, the screws may loosen slightly or the adhesive strength may weaken. 👉🏻 Natural phenomenon: This is not so much a surgical defect as something that can occur during chewing. 👉🏻 Simple solution: Simply visiting a dentist to tighten or reattach it is sufficient to resolve the issue. 👉🏻 Neglect is forbidden: If you feel anything unusual, do not hesitate to see a medical professional immediately! ✏️Why is personalized design necessary for dental implants? 👉🏻 This is to prevent bacterial invasion and minimize food particles getting stuck. . Unlike natural teeth, implants lack the 'periodontal ligament' that blocks bacteria, so food is structurally more prone to getting trapped. So, Smart Implant Dental Clinic Tailored to each patient's gum line Personalized abutment Design and fabricate the prosthesis We are doing that for you. 👉🏻 Thorough self-management: The patient's effort is just as important as the customized design! 👉🏻 Oral aids are essential: Using interdental brushes or dental floss is not an option, but a 'necessity'. 👉🏻 Expected effects: This is the surest way to prevent peri-implantitis and use the prosthesis for a lifetime. ✏️ Why is 'balanced chewing' important after attaching prosthetics? 👉🏻 This is because it is essential for the new tooth to settle stably in the oral cavity. After attaching the prosthesis approximately About two weeks to a month The adaptation period This is necessary. At this time, consciously Practice using both sides evenly You must do this. 👉🏻 Dispersion of force: It effectively distributes the vertical pressure applied to the implant fixture. 👉🏻 Ensuring stability: It helps the prosthesis sit in a balanced position without leaning in a specific direction. 🔹 FAQ: We'll answer your questions! Q1. Can I eat immediately after the prosthesis is attached? ? A1. Until the adhesive completely hardens At least 1 to 2 hours Stabilization time is required. Please avoid foods that are too hard or sticky on the first day! Q2. If I hear a clicking sound from the prosthesis, does that mean the implant is broken? ? A2. No! It is highly likely that the sound is coming from a loosened fixing screw. If you come to the dental clinic Firmly again Don't worry, we can tighten it for you. Q3. Do I really need to get regular checkups even if I don't have any pain? ? A3. Yes, you must come! The implant is I have no nerves Even if a problem arises, you cannot feel pain in the early stages. Once every 6 months to a year Getting regular maintenance is the secret to lifelong use. 🔹 Conclusion: It is a 'new beginning,' not the 'end.' The true completion of implant treatment lies not in the moment the prosthesis is placed, but in the process of it becoming fully integrated as a part of the body. ✅ Remember!

손동국 원장26.04.29Views 66Likes 3 [Health Column] Why Is a Sinus Lift Necessary? The Reason Why Additional Procedures Are Needed After Going for Implants[1]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. They came for an implant consultation and unexpected Maxillary sinus lift Have you ever been flustered after hearing that? It is natural to worry, asking, "Can't we just plant it?" or "Isn't this overtreatment?" Today, we will look at why this unfamiliar term appears, and Why it is essential for implant success I'll get straight to the point! 📌 1. Maxillary Sinus Lift: What Exactly Is the 'Maxillary Sinus'? 🦷 The maxillary sinus is a space like an 'air sac' inside our upper jaw. location: It is the area just above the upper molars, next to the nose. role: It is a normal structure that lightens the weight of the head and helps with breathing. Problem occurred: When a tooth is lost, the bone thins and decreases in height, causing this maxillary sinus space to descend. 💡 A word from the Director: The bone in the upper molar area is naturally thin, so if a tooth is lost, there is quickly insufficient space to place an implant. 2. What kind of surgery is a maxillary sinus lift? 🦷 It is the process of lifting the descended maxillary sinus membrane to create 'soil' for the implant to be placed in. . principle : To secure the reduced bone height, the maxillary sinus membrane is slightly lifted. method : Bone graft material is filled into that empty space to allow the implant to be firmly fixed. 3. Why is this procedure absolutely necessary? 🦷 This is because proceeding forcefully when there is insufficient bone can lead to implant failure. . Decreased stability : The screw may loosen or wobble due to insufficient fixing force. serious side effects : Failure of osseointegration can cause the implant to fall out, or in the worst case, the implant may fall into the maxillary sinus. Risk factors : In this case, the risk of inflammation and infection increases, making treatment much more difficult. 4. What are the risks of surgery pain or precautions? 🦷 The surgery is performed under light anesthesia, so there is almost no pain during the procedure; please do not worry too much! Pain level : There may be swelling or a feeling of pressure for about 2 to 3 days after surgery, but it is not significantly different from a standard procedure. ⚠️ Essential Precautions : The maxillary sinus is connected to the nose, so proper care is really important! Do not blow your nose hard (Open your mouth when sneezing!) Avoid smoking and drinking, and avoid strenuous exercise. 5. Why do cost differences occur? 🦷 This is because the condition of the bone and the difficulty of the procedure vary from patient to patient. Determinants : It depends on the amount of remaining bone, the type of graft material, the complexity of the surgery, etc. Important point : It is much more economical to prevent re-operation or failure than to pay the immediate cost. FAQ Q1. Is a maxillary sinus lift absolutely necessary for everyone? ? A1. No. It is not necessary if there is sufficient bone in the upper molars, but it is essential if the bone is too thin and there is a risk that the implant will be exposed. Q2. Is it possible to have a nosebleed after surgery? ? A2. Since the area connected to the nose is treated, you may experience a runny nose mixed with a little blood for a few days, but if you do not blow your nose forcefully and follow the instructions carefully, you will recover steadily. conclusion A solid foundation for successful implants Implants are not simply about implanting teeth, Treatment that builds a foundation for long-term use no see. Maxillary sinus lift surgery is not a means to increase costs, but rather helps maintain your precious implants without problems in the long term. safety device no see.

hello! Son Dong-guk, Chief Director of Toktok Plant Dental Clinic It is. 😊 ✏️ As you get older, dental and gum problems are a difficult concern to avoid. In fact, there are many people who visit the clinic heartbroken after losing more than half of their teeth. In the past, many people used dentures, but nowadays, they prefer implants because they provide good chewing power and cause less foreign body sensation. However, proceeding with almost no teeth Full implant Since the physical and financial burden is significant, a more precise plan is required. ✏️ Why is precise diagnosis so important for full body implants? ? As this is a highly complex surgery involving the implantation of 15 to 20 implants in the upper and lower jaws, meticulous planning is essential. Full dental implants are a major surgery that goes beyond simply implanting a few teeth to reconstructing the entire oral cavity. Because the scope of the surgery is wide Implant location perfectly suited to the individual's oral structure and gum condition Deciding on that is the key. Director's Tip! To restore chewing power similar to natural teeth and use them comfortably for a long time, the first step, the 'diagnosis,' must be accurate. ✏️ If you forcefully save a bad tooth, it can actually be harmful. ? 👉🏻Insisting on using teeth that are in poor condition can lead to the need for implant revision surgery, so caution is required. Many people say, "I want to save even one more of my teeth," but if you forcibly leave behind a tooth with severe inflammation... Inflammation can spread to the newly implanted implant. As a result, if you have to undergo revision surgery, it will cost twice as much time and money. • Checkpoint Based on the diagnosis of an expert with over 190,000 implantation data points, there are times when bold decisions are necessary for long-term success. ✏️ What is the 'principled treatment' that Toktok Plant insists on? ? 👉🏻 We ensure long-term stability with customized abutment teeth and high-strength zirconia. The implant procedure proceeds in the order of implanting a fixture into the gum bone, connecting an abutment, and then placing a prosthesis. The most important thing at this time is The fixation of the body firmly into the bone It is. If there is a bone deficiency, a bone graft must be performed to ensure long-term stability. • Materials used We tailored to each patient's gum line Custom abutment Reduced worry about fracture strong Zirconia prostheses We are increasing durability by using 🔹 FAQ: We'll answer your questions! Q1. How long does the entire implant treatment usually take? A1. There are individual differences, but usually 3 to 6 months It takes about that long. The three months required for the fixture to firmly bond with the gum bone (osseointegration) is a necessary period of patience. You must go through this process properly to use it healthily for a lifetime. Q2. Is it absolutely necessary to have an incision and bone graft? A2. If there is sufficient bone, a non-incisional procedure is possible, but, Most of them are for the lifespan of the implant Sufficient bone graft This is necessary do. To create a sturdy foundation, the necessary areas must be properly incised and the bone meticulously filled in. Q3. How long does an implant last? A3. If you plant it properly according to the principles and the patient manages it meticulously semi-permanent use This is possible. If standard treatment and aftercare based on 190,000 data points are combined, it can easily last for decades. 🔹 Conclusion: A choice that changes your quality of life A choice that changes your quality of life Implants are not simply tools for chewing food, The process of rebuilding your quality of life no see. In the era of centenarians, implants that last only 10 years are meaningless. ✔️ Please make sure to remember this! • From surgery to prosthetics Standard principles Please check if you are observing it. • Where clinical data is abundant Safe medical treatment Please receive this. • Regularly even after implantation Aftercare is mandatory!

In mild cases, orthodontics alone can restore balance to chewing function and refine the jawline, so early diagnosis is crucial! 🩺 2. What functional problems arise from a protruding lower jaw (prognathism)?

Not simply because of appearance, Jaw joint health and proper chewing function This is a task that must be solved for the sake of... 3. Did you know that a blunt jawline or a receding chin can even lower your sleep quality? A receding lower jaw is closely related not only to dental health but also to 'breathing'. People with receding chins have upper teeth that overlap lower teeth too deeply Deep bite This is often accompanied. This can irritate the inside of the lower gums and harm gum health. 🔹 Especially if the jaw is pushed back, the airway narrows snoring or sleep apnea It can also cause the same sleep disorders. 😴 If you correct the position of your jaw through orthodontics, you can achieve not only a sophisticated profile but also a quality of life. Deep sleep and comfortable breathing You can receive a gift up to [date]. 4. Crooked extra teeth, are they not just a simple appearance issue? Overlapping teeth (crowding) are a critical weakness in oral hygiene management. Crowded teeth, the most common form of malocclusion, make it very difficult to remove food from between the teeth. No matter how hard you brush your teeth tooth decay or gum disease The probability of this occurring is bound to be very high. 📌 "Do I really have to have a healthy tooth extracted?"

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

hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. When consulting with patients in their 50s at the dental clinic, there are really many who wave their hands and say, "Why would I need braces at this age? I'm embarrassed." However, the 50s are not the time to give up on braces; rather, it is a very important step that determines the final lifespan of your teeth. Golden Time Did you know that it could be? Today, based on medical evidence, I will go over the feasibility of orthodontic treatment for those in their 50s and the precautions in detail. 🔍 1. Orthodontics for those in their 50s: What is 'this' more important than age? ? ✨ The key is not the number of years, but the 'gum stamina' to support your teeth. . To start with the conclusion, orthodontic treatment is fully possible even in your 50s, and the results can be very good. but, 'Foundation work' to withstand the orthodontic device The key is whether it has been done. Here, foundation work refers to the support for the tooth roots. Condition of the alveolar bone It refers to. What I check most meticulously when diagnosing patients 3 indicators It is as follows. height of the alveolar bone : Just like the soil that supports a tree, the gum bone must sufficiently cover the roots to withstand orthodontic forces. Activity of periodontal inflammation : Forcibly moving teeth while the gums are inflamed, swollen, or bleeding can be dangerous as it accelerates bone resorption. Structure of the existing prosthesis: If you already have multiple implants or bridges, careful planning that takes this into account is essential. ⚠️ If there are problems with these three indicators, I do not recommend correction, no matter how much you wish to. Because safety comes first! 2. Cases where correction is absolutely necessary vs. cases where it should be postponed for a while ? ✨ Check the 'recommendations' and 'cautions' based on your dental condition. . Enduring it unconditionally is not the answer. Depending on the situation, orthodontics is a shortcut to a healthy old age It can also be this. 📌 ✅ We recommend braces for these people! My gums are well cared for, though. People whose teeth are gradually becoming spaced apart or misaligned molar left missing Those whose adjacent teeth have tilted and whose overall occlusion has collapsed especially Creating space for implant placement If necessary It is very effective. ❌ Caution is required for these people! severe gum disease : If your teeth are very loose, gum treatment comes before orthodontics. uncontrolled systemic disease : It is not recommended for those with slow wound healing due to uncontrolled diabetes or other conditions. Middle-aged Orthodontics FAQ Q1. Doesn't getting braces when you're older make your teeth weaker? ? A1. While excessive correction can be dangerous, straightening misaligned teeth actually reduces food accumulation and makes maintenance easier, so in the long run, Great help to gum health This becomes Q2. Does the correction period take much longer than for young people? ? A2. The movement speed may be slightly slow due to slow cell metabolism. 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.

오수환 원장26.04.07Views 160Likes 2 [Health Column] If You Feel Implant Movement or Wobbling? Why You Shouldn't Just Leave It Alone[8]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. Even those who have been using their implants comfortably for a long time may one day suddenly get the feeling, "Huh? It feels like something is moving slightly..." It looks fine on the outside and there is little pain, so it is easy to dismiss it as insignificant, but this is a very important signal from our body. Today, I will explain in an easy-to-understand way why this phenomenon occurs and why you should absolutely never leave it untreated. ✨ 1. Can implant movement be normal? To start with the conclusion, a normal implant never moves. Our natural teeth have a cushioning tissue called the 'periodontal ligament' that allows for slight movement, but implants are structured to be firmly fixed directly to the jawbone. Therefore, if you feel even the slightest shaking or movement, it is a definite sign that there is a problem somewhere, so you must identify the cause. 2. What are the main causes of dental implants becoming loose? From gum inflammation to loose screws, the causes are more diverse than you might think. 1️⃣ Peri-implantitis (most common cause) ⚠️ If inflammation occurs in the surrounding area, the gums and bone are damaged, weakening the fixation. Since implants lack nerves, pain appears late; therefore, if you feel movement even without swelling, it is highly likely that the condition is already progressing. 2️⃣ Loose screws (surprisingly common) 🔩 An implant consists of a root (fixture), a connection (abutment), and a prosthesis (crown). If this internal screw loosens, only the upper prosthesis can wobble even if the root is intact. While it can often be easily resolved by retightening, please be careful as leaving it unattended can damage the structure! 3️⃣ Bone fusion problems 🦷 This is a case where 'osseointegration,' the process of the implant firmly bonding with the bone, did not occur properly. It can be affected if you have low bone density or systemic diseases such as diabetes or osteoporosis. 4️⃣ Excessive force (teeth grinding, chewing habits) 💪 Implants do not have the function of absorbing shock. If habits such as clenching your teeth or enjoying hard foods are repeated, microscopic damage accumulates and eventually causes them to become loose. 3. What happens if I just leave slight shaking alone? ? 🦷 Ignoring small vibrations is the most dangerous choice. . 📌 Progression stages if left untreated Slight shaking occurs The surrounding bone is gradually absorbed The fixation force weakened rapidly. at last Implant failure and need for re-implantation 😱 The very moment you feel, "It seems to be wavering a little," is actually the golden time for treatment. 4. In what cases should I go to the dentist without delay? ? 🦷 Even if you do not experience pain, you need to get a check-up immediately if you have any of the following symptoms. . ✔️ When you feel a wobbly sensation while chewing food ✔️ When the implant moves when force is applied in a specific direction ✔️ When you feel like food keeps getting stuck between your implants ✔️ When your gums frequently swell or feel uncomfortable 5. Can you check or resolve this yourself? ? 🦷Absolutely forbidden! Touching or pressing with your hands will worsen the condition. Forcing yourself to click on information found on the internet is really dangerous. Since treatment methods vary completely depending on the cause, an accurate diagnosis by a specialist is essential. [ Examples of Treatment Methods by Cause ] ✔️Screw problem ➡️ Simple stock fixing ✔️Inflammation problem ➡️ gum treatment ✔️Structural problem ➡️ Prosthetic replacement ✔️Root problem ➡️ implant re-implantation 6. Preventive measures to ensure implants last a long time ? 🦷 You can maintain stability for a long time with just proper basic maintenance. ✨ . ✅ Regular dental checkups are essential! ✅ Maintain cleanliness around the teeth with dental floss and interdental brushes ✅ Controlling smoking and drinking ✅ If you grind your teeth, wear a protective device. ✅ Avoid hard and chewy foods FAQ Q1. My implant is loose, but it doesn't hurt. I don't need to go in a hurry, right? ? A1. No! Since implants do not have nerves, there are many cases where there is no pain even if the bone erodes. Even if you do not feel pain, if you can feel movement, it means the problem has already started, so you should get a checkup as soon as possible. Q2. If the screw is loose, can't I fix it at home? ? A2. Absolutely not. The inside of the implant has a precise structure, so touching it without specialized instruments can damage the internal structure. If you visit a dental clinic, it can be easily re-tightened, so please leave it to the experts. conclusion Implant movement is a 'warning signal' from our body. Whether an implant lasts a lifetime depends on how it is maintained. If you feel even the slightest change, checking it right now is the fastest way to protect your precious implant. 📌 Please do not miss even the slightest warning signs, and maintain healthy teeth through regular checkups!

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

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

이현섭 원장26.03.19Views 233Likes 3 [Health Column] Considering Orthodontics? 4 Orthodontic Cases You Absolutely Need[7]
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. The recent direction of orthodontics is naturalness It is close to. Rather than simply injecting a large amount, it is important to find a natural placement by considering the individual patient's facial harmony. Q3. What precautions should be taken during orthodontic treatment? A3. The most important thing is Oral hygiene management and Adhere to the appointment schedule no see. Food particles can easily get stuck around the device, so it must be cleaned thoroughly. Also, caution is required as hard or chewy foods can cause the device to detach. Adhering to your scheduled appointments helps you complete your treatment within the planned period. . conclusion Orthodontics It is not simply a process of straightening teeth. mouth , Oral health , Chewing function , facial balance like It is connected to a wider variety of areas than you might think.

The gums around the implant Unlike natural teeth, they have weaker defenses against bacteria. no see. So if you just brush your teeth, It is difficult to remove plaque deep between teeth. If this condition continues, inflammation of the gums around the implant (peri-implantitis) may occur.

What kind of dental floss is best for implants? ? 🦷 Choosing a dental floss that matches the structure of your implant will make maintenance much easier. . Implant prosthetics are structures that have multiple connected parts. It is often difficult to insert the floss from top to bottom. So, better than regular floss A specific type of dental floss This will help more. ✔️ Dental floss with one end stiff → It is as strong as a fishing line and is easy to insert into the space between teeth. ✔️ Sponge-shaped floss → When saliva touches it, it swells and helps remove food. ✔️ wax-coated dental floss → Helps reduce situations where dental floss breaks easily ⚠️ If the implant prosthesis boundary is rough Floss can break frequently.

이현섭 원장26.03.05Views 295Likes 5 [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.

정재욱 원장26.03.03Views 108Likes 3 [Health Column] Differences Between Ostem Implant Grades and a Guide to Choosing the Right Type for You[4]
hello! Lee Hyeon-seop, Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. ✨ More than 90% of people who visit the dentist look for ‘Ostem’ first. When you actually start counseling, there are many cases where people are confused by the words, “There are several levels.” The implant grading system is bound to be complicated to understand for anyone but an expert. Today I am at your eye level Everything You Need to Know About Ostem Implant Grades I'll organize it perfectly for you! 🦷 Implant Grades: Why Fixtures (Artificial Tooth Roots) Matter ? 🦷The success or failure of an implant depends on how firmly it attaches to the gum bone (osseointegration). . An implant is not simply a root, but an artificial root that is planted in the bone. How well the surface treatment of the 'fixture' is done is the key. Depending on the surface treatment method, the grade is divided and the quality of bone fusion is determined. 🔹 Key features by grade at a glance SA : This is the most basic stage and is suitable for those with good gum bone condition. CA : The calcium aqueous solution coating increases hydrophilicity and helps in rapid bonding. HA/BA : It is beneficial for those with low bone density or those in need of bone regeneration due to its bone component coating. SOI : Ostem's top line, a premium technology with ultra-high hydrophilicity that promotes blood clotting. 📌 One line of advice from the director: Expensive isn't always the answer! The first step is to accurately assess the condition of your gums and bone. What is the difference between the Osstem grades that are right for me? 🦷There is a separate 'optimal grade' to choose from depending on the condition of your gums and their resilience. What if you have healthy bones? SA vs CA 🔸 If you have healthy bones SA It is sufficient, but if you have diabetes or osteoporosis and are concerned about recovery, it is better to have good blood wettability. CA shows a much more stable prognosis. What if your bones are weak? HA vs BA 🔸 In areas where maxillary sinus augmentation is required or the bone is weak, it is used to induce chemical bonding with the bone. HA or BA The grade has excellent strength to hold the implant tightly so that it does not move around. What if it's a difficult case? SOI 🔸 For elderly patients with very weak bone quality or for difficult surgeries, the initial fixation strength is overwhelming. SOI can be a premium option. What is the most reasonable selection criterion? ? 🦷It's important to find a "gold standard" that balances cost and performance. . My conviction is clear. "The most expensive tier isn't the right answer for everyone." If there are no special circumstances regarding the condition of the bones, CA grade This initial rate of bone fusion is also stable and often the most reasonable option in terms of cost. ⚠️ Caution! No matter how high the grade you choose, it's useless if the medical staff doesn't adjust the implant angle or depth correctly. Be sure to check 'who plants it' as well as the equipment! FAQ Q1. Does the lifespan vary depending on the Osstem grade? ? A1. Grade primarily affects the "rate and stability of initial osseointegration." Once the bone is well integrated, subsequent longevity is largely determined by the individual's level of care and regular checkups. Q2. I have diabetes. What level would be best? ? A2. For diabetic patients with slow recovery, it has higher blood affinity than general SA and attaches quickly to the bones. CA, BA, SOI I recommend the rating. conclusion : More important than grades is 'customized diagnosis' Ultimately, implants are a process that becomes a part of my body. Just as each patient has a different fingerprint, the density of their gum bone and oral structure are also different. Key Summary ✨ If your bones are in good condition CA is the most reasonable! For high-difficulty surgeries or weak bone quality BA/SOI consideration! Above all, the skill of the medical staff is the top priority! If you're wondering which option is best for your precious teeth, don't hesitate to visit us. 👨⚕️ We promise professional solutions to help you enjoy a more comfortable life through precise diagnosis!

이현섭 원장26.02.25Views 32318Likes 4 [Health Column] A Groundbreaking Way to Reduce Implant Duration and Side Effects! The "One-Day Highness System" ✨[6]
hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. One of the most common complaints I hear when considering implant treatment is, "It takes a long time." 🦷 In fact, general implants often take several months due to the osseointegration process. So, there are quite a few people who delay or hesitate to seek treatment. However, if conditions such as the condition of the gum bone are met, there is a way to efficiently shorten the treatment process. In this column, we will discuss ways to reduce the treatment period. One-day Highness System Let's take a look at it. 1. Why does implant treatment take a long time? ? 👋 It takes enough time due to the osseointegration process. . Implants are not simply about putting teeth in. The artificial tooth root that acts as the root must be attached to the gum bone of our body as if it were one body. 'Osteointegration' Time is of the essence. This step usually takes several months, but under certain conditions, the process can be significantly shortened. 2. What kind of treatment is the One-Day Highness System? ? 👋 From extraction to temporary prosthesis connection, ‘just 3 days’ is enough. Unlike the conventional method, the key is to perform implantation and temporary prosthesis connection simultaneously immediately after extraction. 🔹 Safety : There is no separation of parts after setting, so the gingival (gum) formation is solid and the risk of screw loosening or breakage is minimized. 🔹 Convenience : Because the model is taken using a digital oral scan, the process is very simple and there is little pain. 🔹 nicety : No adhesive (cement) used We prevent related complications at the source and reduce errors through digital precision manufacturing. 3. Why is Highness Digital Prosthesis better? 👋 Because recovery is quick and there is less worry about complications. . 📌 Actual changes felt by patients Time saving : Treatment period compared to existing At least 3 months It can be reduced and the number of visits is also reduced. Pain reduction : There is minimal bleeding and swelling, allowing for a very quick return to normal activities. Gum health : Since no adhesive is used, there is no gum irritation and the risk of complications such as peri-implantitis is low. Sophistication : The entire process is digitized, so it fits perfectly, with almost no need for any modifications in the mouth. 4. How can it be produced in '1 Day'? ? 👋 Because we have a system of collaboration between the in-house dental laboratory and specialists. . In-house dental laboratory : Our skilled technicians are on-site and produce patient-specific prosthetics on the same day without any errors. cutting-edge digital equipment : High-performance scanner precisely identifies oral structure and provides immediate diagnosis. Collaboration with 6 departments : Specialists in various fields, including prosthodontics and orthodontics, are on site, allowing for comprehensive treatment in one place. ❓ FAQ Q1. Is one-day implant really completed in one day? ? A1. This treatment method involves surgery and temporary prosthesis placement in a single day. The final prosthesis completion time varies depending on the individual's condition. The key is to shorten the treatment period compared to conventional implants. Q2. If I get treatment too quickly, won't the success rate decrease? ? A2. A shorter period does not necessarily mean a lower success rate; an accurate diagnosis and fulfillment of the conditions are prerequisites. This applies only when the gum bone condition is stable. Q3. Is it okay to use the temporary prosthesis right away? A3. Daily conversation and eating are possible, but you will be instructed to avoid excessive chewing movements in the early stages. 📝 conclusion The One-Day Highness System is not simply a “quick implant,” but rather a way to safely shorten the treatment period when conditions are met. In particular, the decision on whether to apply it is made after comprehensively considering the amount and density of alveolar bone, presence of gum inflammation, and general condition. ✔️ Stability is more important than speed ✔️ Not all treatments are equally applicable to all patients ✔️ Accurate diagnosis is the standard for treatment direction If you are experiencing discomfort in your daily life, it is important to first check your current oral condition rather than rushing to treatment. We recommend that you carefully determine the treatment plan that's right for you through professional consultation. ✨ Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Director Jeong Jae-wook Ministry of Health and Welfare, Dental Prosthodontics Specialist Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry Graduated with a master's degree from Yonsei University School of Dentistry Intern at Yonsei University Sinchon Severance Hospital , Prosthodontics Residency Completion Korean Academy of Prosthodontics, recognized and full member Korean Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology (KAOMI) Premium Member Regular member of the Korean Society of Temporomandibular Joint and Occlusion Full member of the Korean Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry jeon ) Adjunct Professor, Yonsei University College of Dentistry jeon ) Former Director of Yonsei Good Day Dental Clinic Yangjae Branch hyeon ) Korean Academy of Prosthodontics, Board of Review , Expert Committee/Academic Affairs Committee hyeon ) Korean Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology (KAOMI) Director of Academic Planning See more expert columns on laminates > [Health Column] Is Dental Laminates Really "No Prep"?

hello, 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.

이현섭 원장26.02.04Views 399Likes 3 [Health Column] Choosing Toothpaste After Implant Surgery: Why You Shouldn't Just Use Any Toothpaste[9]
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.

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.

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’.

This is the most frequently asked question. “You’re so young… You have to use it for the rest of your life, right?” To conclude, Being young doesn't automatically mean you'll live longer. In general, the average lifespan of implant prosthetics is About 10 years ago is described as: But this is If the management status is average This is a story based on . 🔹 Benefits of Implants in Your 20s ✔️ Fast gum recovery ✔️ Fewer systemic diseases ✔️ High success rate of early osseointegration 🔸 Drawbacks to watch out for ⚠️ Teeth grinding and clenching habits ⚠️ Late-night snacking, smoking, and irregular lifestyle ⚠️ If you neglect regular checkups Ultimately, what determines the lifespan of the implant is It's not about age, it's about management habits no see. What are some common stories that come up in reviews of implants in people in their 20s? 🦷'The time I neglected it was more regrettable than the implant itself.' If you look at actual implant reviews in people in their 20s, you'll see similar things repeated. 🔸 Frequently asked questions “It wasn’t as painful as I thought.” “I don’t know why I kept putting it off.” “Early management is really important.” A particularly striking statement is this: “It’s not the implant that’s the problem, but the time I neglected it before that that I regret more.” Your 20s are a time when you feel like you have a lot of time, As for dental problems, Time spent procrastinating is time lost. may lead to.

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

hello, Smile Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. I finally took off my braces and couldn't help but smile when I saw my straight teeth... That moment A white spot left on the front teeth You will be surprised when you discover it! “Is it a cavity?”, “Can it be reversed?” Many people actually visit hospitals because of these concerns. Today, the teeth are White Spot What is this, We'll explain everything from why it occurs to how to manage and treat it. 1. Why do white spots appear? ✨This is a ‘demineralization phenomenon’ that occurs when calcium is lost from the surface of the teeth. White spots are not caused by tooth decay, Demineralization, a phenomenon in which calcium is lost from the tooth surface It is created as follows. 📌 There are two main causes! 🔸 congenital factors When calcium is not evenly deposited during tooth formation If some parts are partially decalcified due to a specific influence 🔸 Acquired factors (poor oral care) Food and dental plaque around braces are not cleaned properly, allowing bacteria to create acid. The acid erodes the teeth and leaves spots. ✔️ Important points White spots themselves rarely cause pain, In many cases, it is not a serious condition that progresses directly to cavities. 2. Can I relieve it at home? ✨Complete removal is difficult, but it can be blurred by managing ‘nutrient supply’. White spot It's difficult to erase it dramatically at home. However, through consistent management Mildly relieved It could be possible. 📌 A typical home care method — using 'Tooth Mousse' 🔸 How to use After brushing your teeth, apply to white spots using your fingers or other tools. Maintain for more than 3 minutes to supply minerals to the tooth surface 🔸 principle Replenishes calcium and minerals in teeth to alleviate demineralization ✔️ Rather than for immediate removal purposes For nutritional supply and management purposes It's close! The more consistently you use it, the easier it is to feel the effects. (Example of Toothmus) 3. What treatments are available if I want to get rid of it professionally? ✨If you want quick and definite improvement, a dental approach is necessary. If the white spot is large or noticeable, By consulting a specialist A treatment that can be clearly seen There are some. 📌 1) Resin treatment Delete the spot area very finely How to fill with a resin similar to the color of your teeth to make it smooth 👉 The most common and simple way ⚠️ However, there is a downside that the border area may become discolored over time. 📌 2) Laminate (including uncut laminate) A method of covering spots by attaching a thin film to the front of the teeth Recently, there are methods that require little tooth removal, resulting in high aesthetic satisfaction. FAQ Q1. Are white spots also cavities? A1. Broadly speaking, it can be seen as a trace of early caries. However, since there are many cases where there is no pain and the progression has stopped, it may not necessarily be a condition that requires treatment. Q2. Will it disappear naturally over time? A2. Spots caused by decalcification It is difficult for it to disappear completely naturally. Although a slight blurring is possible, professional treatment is required if you want aesthetic improvement. Q3. What is the most reliable method of prevention? A3. Brushing your teeth is key no see! Especially during orthodontic treatment, dental plaque can easily accumulate around the device, causing demineralization. You need to take more thorough care of your teeth with a toothbrush or interdental brush specifically for orthodontics. conclusion White spots that appear after braces are not a serious disease, but The confidence of a smile It is an aesthetic concern that can cause you to drop it. ✔ Relief with mineral supplementation at home ✔ If it is bothersome, consider specialized treatment such as resin or laminate. ✔ If you are undergoing orthodontic treatment, brushing your teeth more thoroughly is the most important preventive measure ✨ Above all, Because the treatment method that is appropriate for each person's current condition is different, Choose the most natural and safe method through expert consultation do Smile D Dental Clinic CEO Oh Su-hwan - Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry - Department of Orthodontics, Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry - Orthodontic specialist certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare - Regular member of the Korean Orthodontic Association - Completed internship and residency at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital, Department of Orthodontics - International member of the American Academy of Orthodontics (AAO) - International member of the World Federation of Orthodontics (WFO) - Regular member of the Korean Orthodontic Association - Certified by the Korean Orthodontic Association See more expert columns from Smile Dental Clinic Director Oh Su-hwan 📎 [Expert Column] Is transparent braces, a wire-free orthodontic treatment, really unnoticeable? 📎 [Expert Column] Is Dental Laminates Really "No Prep"?

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 404Likes 6 [Health Column] Do you know the post-implantation criteria that are more important than the treatment itself?[7]
hello, Director Lee Hyeon-seop of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. The most frequently asked questions by people considering implants are usually similar. “How long can I use it?”, “Does it hurt?”, “How much does it cost?” But surprisingly, the most common thing that comes up after an actual problem arises is this. “Wasn’t this supposed to be repaired?” Implants are Long-term treatment that includes management, not just surgery no see. And the standard for that is Implant AS period no see. Is there an after-sales service period for implants? 🦷 For implants, the ‘dentist’s aftercare standards’ are more important than the warranty. Many people assume that implants come with a clear manufacturer warranty, like appliances. But in reality AS standards operated by each dental clinic This exists. ✔ A certain period of time after planting ✔ Under certain conditions ✔ This is a structure that provides re-treatment free of charge or partially free of charge. The problem is AS period and scope are not the same in all dental clinics. is the point. Because there are no legally enforced standards, The saying “AS is possible” is used in every dental clinic. Completely different meaning It can be. So before treatment Check specific criteria This is important. Why is the implant AS period absolutely necessary? 🦷Even if the success rate is high, the possibility of failure is not completely 0%. To be honest, implants are a treatment with a high success rate. But especially Within 6 months to 1 year after implantation , the following problems may occur: 🔸 When the bone and implant do not fuse properly 🔸 Surrounding problems caused by gum inflammation 🔸 Abutment loosening 🔸 Crown fracture or fall out 🔸 Overload due to teeth grinding and clenching When problems arise during this period The patient burden varies completely depending on whether there is an AS period or not. No AS → Full burden of reoperation and reprosthesis costs AS Clear → Free or minimal cost solution The difference is bigger than you think. Why can cheap implants be risky? 🦷The cheaper the price, the more carefully you should scrutinize the after-sales service. . When comparing implant prices, there are some places that stand out. ✔ Extremely low cost ✔ Emphasize event-oriented pricing ✔ Almost no mention of AS during the consultation process In this case If the AS period is non-existent or very limited There are many. It may seem cheap at the time of treatment, but If a problem arises in 1-2 years A structure that incurs greater costs and time again no see. Implants are Not a “cheap treatment” It is important to remember that this is a “long-term management treatment”. What should I check during the implant AS period? 🦷Before deciding on a dentist, be sure to ask yourself this question: . Before choosing a dental clinic, we recommend that you check the questions below. 1️⃣ How many years is the implant AS period? 2️⃣ To what extent is AS applied? ( Fixture / Abutment / Crown Distinction) 3️⃣ Does this also apply to cases of negligence in patient management (smoking, failure to undergo regular checkups)? To this question Dentistry that provides clear answers If it's ramen, it can be seen as a place that at least has standards for after-sales service. FAQ Q1. Is it always good if the implant AS period is long? A1. More than the period itself Whether the scope and conditions of application are clear is more important. Q2. If there is a problem after implantation, will all problems be covered by after-sales service? A2. It varies depending on the standards of each dental clinic. Restrictions depending on patient management It can be. Q3. I feel uncomfortable bringing up the topic of after-sales service during consultations. Do I really need to ask? A3. Because implants are a long-term treatment, The most important thing to check before treatment do. conclusion If you are considering implants Before checking the price, check the ‘implant AS period’. Not after the problem has occurred, This is most important before deciding on treatment. Not all treatments work equally well for everyone. Rather than making a decision without thinking, check the current status, Through sufficient consultation with a specialist Aftercare standards that are right for me Please check it out.

hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. Implant consultation When I do this, there is a question I hear most often. “Are there any side effects?”, “Is it okay if I have diabetes or high blood pressure?” I am worried about that. To those who have these concerns How to harness your body's healing power What is introduced is PRF autologous blood implant no see. Today, people who are considering implants So that you can make a decision with a little more peace of mind , let me explain about autologous blood implants. 1. What is an autologous blood (PRF) implant? 👋 An implant method that uses growth factors obtained from my blood to help with recovery. Autologous blood implants patient Take a small amount of your own blood After that, PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) is obtained through special treatment. This method is used in implant surgery sites. ✔️ PRF contains growth factors concentrated in platelets and white blood cells. ✔️ Helps the gum bone and implants to bond well osseointegration process Assists. Simply put, PRF is You can think of it as “a natural protective film made from my blood.” It's a similar concept to putting a high-quality bandage on a wound to help it heal. Because your own blood is used, before the procedure Check your blood condition This is important. 2. Why do I need autologous blood implants? 👋 It may be helpful for those who have slow recovery or are at high risk for inflammation. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or osteoporosis Gum bone regeneration is slow and the risk of infection is high. There may be increased risk with standard implants. At this time, autologous blood implants have the following advantages: 🔸 bone regeneration aid → It promotes bone cell activity and helps recovery after bone transplantation. 🔸 Reduced immune rejection → Use your own blood, not someone else's tissue. 🔸 Hemostasis and pain relief → The PRF membrane covers the surgical site, helping to reduce swelling and pain. 🔸 Possibility of shortening treatment period → Helps speed up the recovery of gums and gum bones. "Resilience Enhancement + Safety-Focused Selection" 3. How does the procedure proceed? 👋 It is simpler than you think and is not much different from the existing implant flow. The process goes like this: 🔹 Blood collection → A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm (as in a routine blood test). 🔹 centrifugation → The collected blood is spun in a special centrifuge for about 10 minutes. 🔹 PRF extraction → Separate PRF in yellow jelly form. 🔹 Transplantation and implantation → PRF is used together with bone grafting material or to cover the surgical site. 🔹 Suture → Finish by suturing the gums. During implant surgery, blood collection and separation are performed simultaneously while waiting for anesthesia. The overall surgical time does not increase significantly. 4. To whom is it recommended and when should caution be exercised? ✔️ Highly recommended People with slow recovery due to systemic diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure People with weak gum bones due to old age If an implant is needed immediately after tooth extraction When a wide area of bone grafting is required Those who are concerned about pain and swelling after surgery ⚠️ When caution is required Severe blood diseases (thrombocytopenia, hemophilia, etc.) If you have severe anemia If you are taking anticoagulants (such as aspirin) → Prior consultation with a medical professional is required. “Autologous blood implants are safe, but Blood condition as a selection criterion This is it.” ❓ FAQ Q1. Is it dangerous or very painful to have blood drawn? A1. It is performed by drawing a small amount of blood, and is described as a mild pain. Q2. Is it more expensive than regular implants? A2. Additional costs may apply if special equipment and kits are used. In the long term, it may be an option that reduces the risk of reoperation. Q3. Will the treatment time increase significantly? A3. Since blood collection and separation are performed simultaneously, there is no significant difference in the overall surgical time. 📝 conclusion Autologous blood (PRF) implants This is not a method that can be recommended equally to everyone. but Those who were hesitant about implants due to systemic illness If you are concerned about slow recovery or weak gum bones, “There is also a way to utilize the healing power of my body.” It's definitely worth checking out at least once. As implants are an important process that lays the foundation of the gum bone, After checking the current status accurately Consult with a specialist to find the right choice for you. I recommend that you do so.

정재욱 원장26.01.05Views 162Likes 5 [Health Column] There are so many different types of implant bone grafting... What criteria should you use to choose?[7]
hello, Director Lee Hyeon-seop of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. If you hear the explanation “let’s do bone grafting together” during your implant consultation, Many people 'Is treatment truly necessary? What are the criteria for selection?' is the question most people are curious about. Bone grafting is not simply an “additional treatment”; 👉 Bone quantity and condition 👉 Implant location 👉 Functional and aesthetic requirements This is a treatment process that is decided by considering these factors together. To understand the types and characteristics of bone grafting at a glance ✔️ When you need it ✔️ In which case which method is chosen? ✔️ Judgment points you should know I'll try to organize it. Why is 'bone grafting' necessary for implants? 🦷 Implants need strong bone to be stably placed. implants is an artificial tooth root (fixture) Fixed to the jawbone It is a treatment that is done. so ✔ Sufficient amount of bone ✔ Adequate bone density is very important. but, If you have been missing teeth for a long time If the inflammation was severe If the gum bone is originally thin In many cases, the bone has already been absorbed, so a bone graft may be necessary. That is, the implant Reinforcement process for stronger and longer lasting use It's good to understand it like this! What types of implant bone grafting are there? 🦷There are four main types, and the choice depends on the situation. ① Autologous bone graft — “Is this how you use my bones?” ✔ This is a method of harvesting and using bones from my body. ✨ merit Highest survival rate Bone regeneration is also fast ⚠️ disadvantage Additional procedures are needed to harvest bone. The scope of treatment may be expanded It is mainly used in cases like this 👉 If you have a severe bone deficiency 👉 Situations where stability is especially important ② Allogeneic bone graft — “Is it safe to use other people’s bones?” ✔ This is a method of using donated bones after sterilizing them. ✨ merit Less burdensome than autologous bone Relatively rapid bone formation ⚠️ disadvantage Absorption rate can be relatively fast It is mainly used in cases like this 👉 When it is burdensome to use only autologous bone 👉 With other transplant materials Mix and use together It often happens ③ Xenograft — “Is it okay to use animal bones?” ✔ We use ingredients that are safely refined from bones derived from animals such as cows and pigs. ✨ Advantages The structure is stable Good shape retention, good for maintaining volume ⚠️ Cons Bone formation may be somewhat slow It is mainly used in cases like this 👉 Maxillary sinus augmentation 👉 When maintaining bone shape is important ④ Synthetic bone graft — “Are there any materials that are completely artificial?” ✔ It is an artificially produced bone graft. ✨ Advantages Low risk of infection Consistent quality Easy to use ⚠️ Cons May have limitations when used alone It is mainly used in cases like this 👉 Mixed use with other grafting materials 👉 When a relatively small range of reinforcement is required So, which bone graft is best? 🦷The correct answer is 'the combination that suits the situation' all. This is a question I get asked a lot, but there is no single 'right' answer. Because the selection is determined by considering all of the factors below. ✔ How much bone is lacking? ✔ Location of implant placement ✔ Whether to plant at the same time ✔ Overall health So in some cases Use of multiple grafts together Sometimes it does. in other words, " bone grafting = Rather than “optional”, “The safest treatment process tailored to your current condition.” It would be most accurate to understand it like this. FAQ Q1. Is bone grafting absolutely necessary? A1. Not everyone needs it, but Insufficient bone condition directly affects implant stability. It is important to first accurately check the condition through consultation. Q2. Which bone graft is the ‘best’? A2. Rather than saying that a particular graft material is always the best, **the choice that best suits the individual's bone condition and treatment plan is the 'best'**. Q3. I am concerned that bone grafting may be overtreatment. A3. If it is not necessary, do not proceed, rather It is often essential for long-term stability and maintenance. . conclusion Implant bone grafting, remember it like this! ✔️ Not “over-treatment”, but only when necessary ✔️ Type varies depending on condition ✔️ It is not a treatment that focuses on just one thing. ✔️ Above all else Accurate diagnosis is key It may feel burdensome, but Considering long-term stability and usage period A process that is meaningful enough This could be it. After consulting with a medical professional, choose the best method for your condition.

hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. When teeth are severely damaged or most of them are missing, many people worry, “Should I get implants for all of them?” But recently Supporting a full set of teeth with just four implants Doing it All-on-Four This method is becoming an alternative. You probably have a lot of questions about this treatment, including the cost, pain, and recovery speed. Today, I'll take a closer look at what this treatment is and who it can help. 1. What is the principle behind All-on-Four supporting the entire tooth? 👋 A method that stably supports the entire tooth with four strong pillars All-on-Four is a treatment that places only four implants (six depending on the situation) in the strongest location of the gum bone, and then attaches a fixed prosthesis that connects all teeth on top of them. If we use a building analogy, it is similar to the principle that the top plate can be stably supported as long as a few core supports are strong, without having to install the pillars closely together. No need to place unnecessary implants Effectively designing power distribution Precision treatment aimed at restoring full function If you have been putting off treatment because of the burden of having to “plant all your teeth,” It would be a good idea to get professional advice to see if all-on-one is possible. 2. What are the costs and recovery speed? Will it be expensive? 👋 Economical + Reduced Physical Burden = A Realistic Treatment Option The biggest advantage of All-on-Four is Reduced cost burden and faster recovery no see. ✔️Reduced cost burden The number of plants to be planted is greatly reduced, reducing surgical and material costs. ✔️ Reduced recovery burden The scope of surgery is reduced The likelihood of needing bone grafting is likely to decrease. Pain and swelling are described as relatively minimal. The advantage is that it can be a relatively less physically burdensome treatment option for the elderly and those with systemic diseases. 3. What is the difference between dentures and braces? 👋 Not removable dentures, but 'fixed teeth that feel like your own teeth' All-on-four is not the removable dentures that are commonly thought of. ✔️ This is what makes it different How the prosthesis is 'completely fixed' to the implant Reduces foreign body sensation by not covering the palate You can taste the food more naturally You can comfortably chew apples, meat, etc. without worrying about them becoming loose. ❓ FAQ Q1. Are 4 really strong enough? A1. Yes. The 10-year survival rate is over 90%. The implant angle and position are precisely designed, and the posterior implant is planted at a slight angle to stably support the entire tooth. Q2. How long does it take to recover after surgery? A2. One of the great advantages of All-on-Four is its recovery speed. Because a temporary prosthesis is usually fitted immediately after surgery. Conversation and light meals are possible on the day of surgery. It is said that it is done. Q3. Isn't it actually more expensive? A3. It is much more economical than implanting each tooth one by one. This can reduce the number of implants needed and the possibility of bone grafting, which can also reduce additional costs. 📝 conclusion All-on-four is a “high-difficulty, precision treatment that stably restores the entire tooth function using four pillars.” It's not a solution that works for everyone, but for those who qualify, A fast and realistic recovery solution This could be it. ✔️ Points to remember All-on-for: A treatment option that reduces both cost and physical burden. A precise diagnosis must be made first. Sufficient consultation with experienced medical staff is important. We encourage you to make safe and wise choices so you can chew, smile, and return to your daily life.

정재욱 원장25.12.31Views 243Likes 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.

이현섭 원장25.12.29Views 446Likes 4 [Health Column] Are you worried about the cost of implants? A guide to realistic treatment options.[6]
hello, Bupyeong 365 Dental Clinic Director Kim Hyeong-seok no see. I hear this a lot during consultations in the clinic. “I think I need treatment, but the cost of implants is too much.” Because implants are a long-term treatment If you need to do multiple things at once , the financial burden may feel great. However, if you continue to postpone treatment due to cost, Decreased chewing function and worsening gum condition As time goes by, the inconvenience may increase. So today When the cost of implants is burdensome, realistic options and criteria to consider Let's organize it. Are implants the right choice for everyone? 🔸Implants are not the only answer in all cases. Implants are Restore lost tooth function It is an effective treatment method. but If you have a systemic disease If you are elderly If the gum bone condition is not good The burden of treatment may increase. Here Situations requiring multiple plantings If so Cost burden It will increase together. ✔️ So the important point is “It’s not the same treatment for everyone, Choices that suit your individual circumstances This is necessary The point is “to do.” Why do implant costs feel particularly burdensome? 🔸 It's not just a matter of 'the cost of one tooth'. The cost of implants can vary greatly depending on the following factors: 🔸 Number of teeth lost 🔸 Gum bone condition 🔸 Whether additional surgery is needed (e.g. bone grafting, etc.) 🔸 Long-term maintenance plan Especially if you need to do multiple things at the same time, More than the treatment itself economic burden This is often the biggest concern. Are there any realistic alternatives to treatment that can reduce the cost burden? 🔸 Reducing the number of implants and utilizing existing prosthetics together may be an alternative. for example, Implant dentures like Place a small number of implants sun Stable support for dentures How to design it to do so silver ✔️Compared to full implants Reduced surgical burden Reduced cost burden Expected functional recovery You can expect the following advantages: This method in particular, People who find existing dentures uncomfortable People who frequently lose their dentures or have weak chewing strength Those who find full implants difficult due to cost or health issues It could be an option for you. but, Applicability may vary depending on individual oral condition. , please remember. What are the differences between implant dentures and conventional dentures? 🔸Implant dentures This is a way to compensate for the reason why the dentures were moving or uncomfortable. Many people say that existing dentures are structured to be placed on top of the gums, and that they are uncomfortable because they move or lift when eating. On the other hand, the denture method using implants is Implants support dentures Because it does it ✔️ Reduced movement ✔️ More stable chewing power transmission You can expect. Of course, we do not guarantee the same results for everyone, and applicability may vary depending on individual circumstances. Who are implant dentures a particularly good choice for? 🔸 It's worth considering if: ✔️ If you are concerned about having multiple implants placed ✔️ If you find it uncomfortable to use existing dentures ✔️ If gum bone absorption has progressed ✔️ In cases where long-term surgery is difficult due to overall health issues The most important criterion is, “Which treatment is good?” rather than “ Is this the right choice for me? "no see. It is recommended that you consult with a specialist to find the right treatment for your situation. FAQ Q1. Isn’t implant the best treatment? A1. Implants are a good treatment, but There is not always the same answer for everyone. Cost, gum condition, and overall health must be considered together. Q2. Is it okay to postpone getting implants because of the cost? A2. In some cases Decreased chewing function and worsening gum condition This can cause significant inconvenience. Rather than delaying, it is better to explore the options available to you in your current situation. Q3. Are alternative treatments like implant dentures available to everyone? A3. No. Applicability may vary depending on individual oral condition. , it is safe to decide after consultation. conclusion Implants are certainly a good treatment option, but The same approach isn't always the best choice for everyone. Considering cost, gum condition, lifestyle, and overall health “Is this treatment realistically feasible for me right now?” It is most important to judge. ⚠️ Rather than simply postponing treatment, Consult with an expert to determine what options are available in your current situation. I recommend you give it a try. ✨ Treatment, once decided, has a long-lasting impact on your life. “We don’t just look at cost, we don’t just chase the latest treatments, Finding the right direction for me "This is the best choice.

김형석 원장25.12.26Views 900Likes 6 [Health Column] Is partial front teeth correction really quick and simple? A quick overview of the benefits, precautions, and recommended options![6]
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.

오수환 원장25.12.23Views 344Likes 7 [Health Column] Is Full Implant Safe for Older Adults?[16]
hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. If a lot of teeth fall out "now denture Is there no other answer? "There are many people who worry first. Especially those over 60 This makes treatment choices more careful, so these days instead of dentures Full implant The number of people who are concerned about this is increasing. But when it comes to implants, it's natural Surgical burden, recovery, and cost The same worries come to mind and you end up postponing your decision. Fortunately, recent advances in full implant technology have made treatment much more precise and accessible than in the past. Since the entire implant procedure requires a complex and precise treatment process, the experience and capabilities of the medical staff are very important. That's why If a place can perform full implants reliably, you can also expect a high degree of completion and success rate for single implants. In this column, we will discuss what a full implant is. , Do I really need to plant so many? , Is it possible even if you are elderly or have an underlying disease? Let me explain. 1. What is a full implant and under what circumstances should it be considered? 👋 Full implants are a treatment that restores the entire dentition to function like natural teeth. Full implants are a treatment designed to restore both aesthetics and function when teeth are missing throughout the upper or lower jaw. This can be considered not only for those who are missing all their teeth, but also for those who find their existing dentures uncomfortable or want to replace all their remaining teeth. 🔸 It's easy to understand it like this If all teeth are missing → Full replacement purpose If your dentures are uncomfortable → A more stable alternative with a fixed structure If only part of the tooth remains → The purpose is to restore the integration of function and aesthetics. Full implants do not mean “planting all the teeth.” How to treat Designed to fit the patient's condition It will work. 2. Is it really better to plant more? What is the "economics of minimum planting"? 👋 The key isn't 'a lot', but 'just the right amount, in the best location' In the past, it was thought that implants had to be placed for every missing tooth, which made the cost and surgical burden extremely high. However, today's approach has changed. ✔️ Important points Even if all of the upper and lower teeth are lost Only the minimum number of implants are placed based on the location of strong gum bones. By that number Full tooth function can be sufficiently restored Especially at our Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic All-on-Four method is a method of supporting a fixed prosthesis with about 4 implants. ⚠️ Reduced surgical scope ⚠️ Reduced recovery burden ⚠️ Reduced cost burden This has great advantages. “Planting a lot = good treatment” is not true. Structurally stable and only as much as necessary Planting is the key. 3. Is it safe for the elderly, diabetic patients, or those with high blood pressure? What if I'm concerned about safety? 👋 We use a burden-reducing approach with precise digital solutions. Many people give up on implants because of concerns such as “I’m too old…” or “I have a chronic illness…” However, full implants can be an important treatment that can significantly improve the quality of life for these people. Based on 3D digital precision analysis → Pre-surgery mock surgery Reduce error with Minimize the extent of the incision → Reduces bleeding and swelling & helps speed recovery Plant only where absolutely necessary → Minimize physical strain So we can organize it like this ✔️ Suitable for seniors as well ✔️ Even if you have a systemic disease, it is possible if the design is tailored to your individual condition. ✔️ What's important is Precision diagnosis + selection of experienced medical staff ❓ FAQ Q1. I am old. Can I still get it if I have diabetes or high blood pressure? A1. It is possible. Recently, precision planning utilizing 3D digital equipment and minimally invasive techniques (e.g., navigation implants) have been applied to reduce bleeding and swelling and shorten surgical times. This has allowed even elderly patients and those with systemic diseases to receive safe treatment. Q2. I'm really worried about the pain. Is there a way to get treatment that will make it less painful? A2. For patients with significant pain anxiety, methods (e.g., sleep implants) can be used to help them receive treatment in a comfortable environment. This can help reduce surgical noise and fear, allowing for a more comfortable experience. 📝 conclusion Full implant is not simply a “replanting of teeth” treatment, Treatment to restore life functions and comfort no see. ✔️ Planting a lot is not necessarily a good thing. ✔️ Minimum planting design considering cost and burden is an important criterion. ✔️ Even if you are elderly or have a chronic disease, it is a completely possible choice if you have a precise diagnosis and a safe system. but, Each patient's gum bone condition, oral structure, and health condition are different. Don't judge based solely on information on the Internet.

Implants, do they have a set shelf life? 🦷 There is no ‘set shelf life’ for implants. Because implants are not structured to develop cavities, If managed without any problems It is also common to see cases of long-term use. But the important thing is, Even if you use the same materials and treatment, the maintenance period may vary. That's the point. ✨ Ultimately, the implant maintenance period is 👉 Post-plant care , 👉 oral environment , 👉 Lifestyle habits It depends greatly. “The implant period is longer than the ‘treatment itself’ Post-treatment environment This is left and right.” It's the same implant, so why does the maintenance period vary from person to person? 🦷 The biggest difference starts with ‘management habits’. Implants are different from natural teeth. There are no nerves or blood vessels.

What is the biggest factor that reduces the implant lifespan? 🦷 The main cause is ‘peri-implantitis’. If inflammation occurs around the implant ⚠️ Swollen gums ⚠️ Bleeding ⚠️ Jawbone absorption may lead to. Because implants don't have nerves In many cases, it is discovered after the inflammation has progressed considerably. so ✔️ Regular dental checkups ✔️ Scaling is not a choice Essential Management You should think of it as ✨If you want to extend the life of your implant, what are the management points you must follow? 🦷 ‘Daily’ and ‘regular maintenance’ are key. 🔸 Brush your teeth thoroughly at least twice a day The area around the implant in particular requires more careful management. 🔸 Regular dental checkups Through checkups every six months It can detect invisible inflammation early. 🔸 Quit smoking and drinking Smoking and drinking are directly related to shortening the implant period. 🔸 Avoid habits that require excessive force Tough and hard food, Habits of clenching teeth, grinding teeth, etc. It may put a strain on the implant. FAQ Q1. If you take good care of implants, will they last a long time? A1. Management is very important, but The initial establishment process also has a major impact. Both factors are important together. Q2. Can implant problems be immediately detected by pain? A2. Since implants do not have nerves, pain may appear late. Regular checkups are necessary do. Q3.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

김현순 원장25.07.03Views 342Likes 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.
