[Health Column] What are the criteria for choosing the right orthodontic treatment for me? Wire braces vs. Clear braces[5]
✨Hello! This is Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Chief Director of SmileD Dental Clinic, where your dental health always comes first. 👋 Have you been secretly worried every time you look in the mirror because of your crooked teeth? 😢 Even if you decide on orthodontic treatment, you will find yourself at another crossroads when you actually try to start. This is the dilemma between traditional 'wire braces (bracket braces)' and 'clear braces (Invisalign)' that use transparent plastic! Today, I will summarize the key points in a very easy-to-understand way, covering everything from the distinct differences between the two treatments to how to make the wise choice that fits your situation perfectly. ✨ 1️⃣ How are teeth moved in orthodontics? The core principle of orthodontic treatment is to apply a constant force to the teeth 'continuously'. 📌 The secret to moving teeth, 'orthodontic appliances' A special structure is required to transmit precise force to the teeth in the desired direction, and this is precisely what we know as 'orthodontic appliances.' These appliances are broadly divided into two types. 🔸 Fixed method: This is a treatment method that involves firmly attaching a device to the surface of the tooth. 🔸 Attachable (Detachable) type: It is a method that uses a device that the patient can insert and remove themselves. 💁‍♀️ You were fascinated by how teeth move when you get braces, weren't you? Just like moving heavy furniture to a desired location by steadily pushing it little by little, The principle is that the device provides very precise and continuous stimulation to the tooth roots! 2️⃣ What are the differences between wire braces and clear braces? ✨ There are distinct differences in maintenance methods and how to wear the device depending on its features. 🦷 1. Wire braces (bracket braces) It is a traditional method of attaching devices called brackets to the teeth and securing them by connecting them with wires. ✔️ characteristic: The treatment is 'compulsory' because the patient cannot remove the device voluntarily. Since the device operates forcibly, it is advantageous for moving according to plan. ⚠️ caution: Maintaining oral hygiene, such as brushing your teeth after meals, may be somewhat inconvenient. Additionally, due to the device's structure, it may irritate the soft tissues in the mouth, causing discomfort or pain in the initial stages. 💎 2. Clear braces (Invisalign) It is a method of moving teeth by replacing thin, transparent special plastic trays made to fit each individual. ✔️ characteristic: The device is aesthetically excellent as it is barely visible 🤫. Above all, it has the huge advantage of being overwhelmingly convenient for hygiene management because you can temporarily remove the device while eating. ✨ Latest Trends: Recently, medical technology has advanced dramatically, making it possible to sophisticatedly solve even much more diverse and complex cases compared to the past. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Aren't clear braces less effective than wire braces? A1. Those who remember the early models might think that way. However, recently, materials and technologies, such as attachments attached to teeth, have advanced dramatically. In fact, in cases such as 'deep bite' where the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth, clear aligners often lead to easier and more precise improvement. Ultimately, rather than the type of appliance The expertise of the attending specialist determines the outcome. do. Q2. Is there a significant cost difference between the two devices? A2. Due to the nature of the process requiring precise custom manufacturing, Invisalign (clear braces) is often priced higher than standard brackets (wire braces). However, even among wire braces, the device is attached hidden inside the teeth. Lingual correction If you choose ', the cost may actually be higher than clear braces. Therefore, rather than making a decision based solely on price, it is advisable to compare the pros and cons of each device with your lifestyle patterns. Q3. Who would you strongly recommend clear braces to? A3. For clear aligners, 'patient cooperation' is the absolute criterion that determines the success or failure of the treatment. Every day except when eating 'Self-directed' individuals who can strictly adhere to wearing times of 20 to 22 hours or more on their own I highly recommend it to you 👍. On the other hand, for those who are usually clumsy or find it troublesome and difficult to manage braces unless someone forcibly takes care of them, wire braces, which involve a mandatory nature, may actually be much safer and more advantageous. 🎯 Conclusion: Careful selection and consultation with a specialist come first. Straightening your teeth does not simply mean an external improvement that makes you look prettier. It is a very valuable health investment that reduces blind spots inside the oral cavity, makes oral hygiene easy to manage, and protects gum health for a long time. 💡 One more hidden advantage! During orthodontic treatment, you naturally avoid hard or chewy foods. As this process, the masticatory muscles (masseter muscles) gently contract, allowing you to expect the added benefit of a slimmer and improved facial contour. ⚠️ Above all, the most important thing is an accurate diagnosis that matches my actual oral condition and skeletal structure.

[Health Column] Is There Really an Optimal Age for Orthodontics? A Comprehensive Guide from Teens to 70s ✨[4]
Hello, I am the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. Lee Hyun-seop It is! 👋 "Director, isn't it too late for me to get braces right now? 😢" Interestingly, not only patients in their 20s and 30s but even those in their 50s ask this question exactly the same way. Conversely, parents with young children often worry, asking, "My child is still in elementary school, should they get orthodontic counseling already? 🤔" To start with the conclusion, There is no absolute deadline for orthodontic treatment age! 🙅‍♂️ It is just that the purpose of starting orthodontic treatment and the direction of treatment differ depending on the age group. Today, based on the most frequently asked questions in actual medical and consultation rooms, Stories of Orthodontics by Age Group I will explain it to you easily and in detail. 👇 1️⃣ Parents of elementary school children! Do you need to get an orthodontic consultation already? 👦👧 🦷 Even if your baby teeth are still falling out Be sure to check the status of jaw growth around the age of 6 to 8. Give it a try! Many parents are often surprised, saying, "You're saying you're getting braces already when your child's permanent teeth haven't even all come in yet? 😮". However, visiting the dentist at this time is not to get braces attached immediately. This is to determine whether your child currently requires correction and when the optimal time for treatment is. ✨ 📌 Growth management can be particularly important if the following symptoms are observed: 🔸 When a tendency toward an underbite or receding chin is observed 🔸 When the mouth is severely protruding or there is an open bite where the upper and lower teeth do not meet 🔸 When there is an underbite where the lower teeth overlap the upper teeth 💡 A word of advice from the director! We strongly recommend visiting a dentist around the age of 6 to 8 to check the alignment of your teeth and the growth status of your jaw in advance. 2️⃣ Is the teenage growth period the most ideal time for orthodontic treatment? 🦷 🦷 Can control jawbone growth and The most efficient time due to rapid tooth movement no see! If I had to choose just one age for orthodontic treatment, most orthodontists would recommend the growth period. teenagers It talks about. 🧒👧 Since jawbone growth is still ongoing during this period, it is not only about simply aligning the teeth evenly Correctly controlling even the direction of jaw growth There is a huge advantage in being able to do it. Furthermore, the speed of tooth movement is relatively faster compared to adults. In fact, if orthodontic treatment is started during middle or high school, the range of treatment available is much wider than for adults. ⚠️ Parents occasionally ask, "Should I postpone braces due to academic stress or studying? 📝". If possible, do not delay it too much... It is good to receive benefits during the growth period. I tend to say that. 3️⃣ What is the most common reason patients in their 20s visit the dental orthodontics consultation room? 👱‍♀️👱‍♂️ 🦷 Interest in appearance is increasing, and people decide on treatment themselves. This is because it is the time for economic independence! The age group that most actively seeks orthodontic consultations at actual dental clinics is by far the 20s It is. 🎓 This is because many people decide on their own after becoming financially independent as they start their careers or college lives. It is also a time when interest in one's appearance increases significantly, especially when facing important events such as job hunting or marriage. ✔️ As a result, the device is not easily visible to others Ceramic braces, clear braces , or quickly proceed only with the necessary parts Partial correction Consultations primarily focus on aesthetics. 4️⃣ I'm in my 30s, can I start? It's never too late! 💼 🦷 If your teeth are gradually becoming misaligned or you feel tooth wear Now is the time to start orthodontic treatment. There is a regret that patients in their 30s most frequently express in the consultation room. It is the sentiment, "Ah... I should have just done it when I was in my 20s ㅠㅠ." 🥲 Many people visit our clinic after personally experiencing their teeth becoming increasingly misaligned as they age, having kept putting it off due to busy work lives. People in their 30s usually visit with these kinds of concerns: 🔸 When the front teeth start to spread apart little by little 🔸 When food keeps getting stuck due to extra teeth 🔸 When tooth wear occurs or the chewing sensation is abnormal 💡 A word of advice from the director! There is absolutely no need to worry that the corrective effect will be diminished just because you are in your 30s! On the contrary, since you clearly recognize the necessity of the treatment and are diligently following the doctor's instructions, Age group with excellent treatment cooperation That's what they say. 👍 5️⃣ Did you know that orthodontic treatment in people in their 40s is much more common than you might think? 🏢 🦷 Not only changes in appearance 'Functional purpose' to protect dental health This gets bigger. From their 40s onwards, the reasons for deciding to get braces differ slightly from previous generations. Of course, becoming prettier is good, but, I want to use my teeth for a long time The functional reasons become much more significant. 🩺 ⚠️ As you age, your gums may gradually recede or your teeth may spread apart, causing discomfort when chewing food, and you may even experience symptoms such as loose teeth. If If you have periodontal disease (gum disease) First, you can restore your dental health by thoroughly treating your periodontal tissues and then combining this with orthodontic treatment. 6️⃣ Is orthodontic treatment really possible for people in their 50s and 60s? 👵👴 🦷 The important thing is not age 'Condition of the Gum Bone'! It is Fully Possible Even for Those in Their 60s do. Many people say, "Doctor, why would I need braces at this age?" but in the actual consultation room, it is very easy to find patients in their 50s and 60s. 😮 What is truly important in orthodontics is not your age on your resident registration, but the one supporting your teeth Condition of the gum bone (alveolar bone) no see. ❌ Even if you are in your 20s, if your gum condition is terrible, orthodontics is difficult, and Conversely, even for seniors in their 60s, it is entirely safe as long as their gum bone is in good condition and healthy. Recently, for the care of aging teeth Orthodontics to create space before implant placement, orthodontics prior to bridge prosthetics Treatment is being actively carried out for purposes such as , or partial correction of the front teeth. ✨ 7️⃣ The era of braces for those over 70! What is more important than age? 💯 🦷 It seems like it is possible up to a certain age. Is this treatment absolutely necessary for my current condition? We need to consider this. While it was hard to imagine in the past, now that we have entered the era of centenarians, even seniors in their 70s and older are visiting dental clinics for orthodontic consultations. ☀️ The main goal for this age group is not beauty. To use your remaining natural teeth for a long, long time. no see.

If I get braces at an older age, will my gums become weaker or my teeth become sensitive? A1. During orthodontic treatment, you may temporarily feel slight sensitivity or looseness as your teeth move. However, if you carefully diagnose the condition of your gums and adjust the force gradually without straining yourself, it can actually correct crooked teeth and improve brushing effectiveness, so in the long run, Prevent gum disease and preserve healthier teeth You can do it. 🦷 Q2. Does adult orthodontics take much longer than orthodontics during the growth period? A2. Since adults have a slightly slower rate of bone metabolism compared to growing children, tooth movement may take a little longer. However, because adult patients follow the dentist's instructions very strictly, such as appliance management and wearing rubber bands, ( Excellent cooperation ), the actual total treatment period often does not differ significantly when compared to children in their growth stage. ✨ 🎯 Conclusion: Don't put it off because of age concerns! 📌 There is no set age limit for orthodontic treatment, and optimal treatment methods exist for each age group from the teens to the 70s. 📌 Management Points: Regardless of age, the key to successful correction is...

[Health Column] Is it too late to start orthodontic treatment now? A prosthodontist answers![4]
Hello, this is Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic. Chief Director Jeong Jae-wook It is. ✨ 🤔 "Will it be effective to start at this age?" Have you ever worried about this at least once, when someone around you starts orthodontic treatment, or when you are bothered by crooked teeth in the mirror? To start with the conclusion, regarding orthodontics There is absolutely no such thing as 'too late'! We will clearly highlight the key points regarding the distinct advantages and unique characteristics of adult correctional care, which are distinct from adolescent correctional care. Shall we begin the journey to find a confident smile right now? 💕 1️⃣ What is the difference between adolescent correction and adult correction? 👋 The biggest difference is right Presence or absence of growth It is located at. During adolescence, bones are soft and growth plates are open, making skeletal corrections such as prognathism or retrognathism possible. On the other hand, since growth has ended in adults, it is difficult to change the position of the skeleton, but the teeth and angles within the hard bone It can be corrected very precisely and without error. . 🎯 Even though it may look like similarly crooked teeth on the outside, adults need a customized movement plan that is perfectly tailored to their current skeletal condition. Just because your bones are strong doesn't mean correction isn't possible, so I recommend getting a precise diagnosis tailored to your skeletal structure first! ✔️ 2️⃣ Is adult orthodontics more painful and much slower? 👋 Slow down a little, but Healthier and more stable Moving! It is true that adults have higher bone density, so their cellular metabolism is slightly slower than that of adolescents. commonly 24~30 months It takes about that long, so it can be several months longer than for adolescents. ⏳ You may experience a dull ache for the first 2 to 3 days, but this is as your teeth find their proper positions Healthy Signs So you can rest assured! You may feel a heavy pain on the first night you wear the device, but you will surprisingly adapt within a few days. If you are very worried about pain and the duration, 'self-ligating braces,' which reduce pain by minimizing friction, or 'clear braces,' which offer a clean appearance, can be good alternatives. 💡 3️⃣ Are there any advantages to being an adult? 👋 Overwhelming cooperation and Thorough self-management is the best weapon. Adult orthodontics has 3 powerful advantages (TOP 3) unique to adults! 💎 🔸 1. Overwhelming cooperation with treatment 🤝 Unlike adolescents who are led by their parents, adults begin this process of their own strong will, so please strictly follow the doctor's instructions and precautions. This directly leads to the completeness of the treatment results. 🔸 2. Thorough Oral Hygiene Management 🪥 Because they meticulously use toothbrushes, interdental brushes, and dental floss on their own, the risk of cavities or gum disease that may occur during orthodontic treatment is significantly lower compared to adolescents. 🔸 3. Precise predictability without variables 📐 Since growth has already stopped, there is no unexpected variable called skeletal change. You can establish an error-free treatment plan by predicting future changes in facial shape or dental alignment with greater precision. The advantages of being an adult are maximized, especially in 'clear braces,' where self-care is essential. ✨ 💬 Ask Me Anything! (FAQ) Q1. Is it true that getting braces at an older age causes holes (black triangles) to form between the gums? It’s not that a new gum disease is developing; it’s just a phenomenon where the overlapping teeth straighten out, revealing the previously empty spaces! 😮 This can be sufficiently aesthetically corrected with procedures such as 'interdental reduction' or 'resin treatment,' so you do not need to worry too much. On the contrary, in the long run, it corrects the alignment of the teeth, which is of great help in preventing gum disease. Q2. Is 'extraction orthodontics,' which involves pulling out healthy teeth, absolutely necessary for adult orthodontics? Absolutely not! Whether or not to extract a tooth is determined not by the patient's age, but by the availability of space for the tooth to move and the degree of protrusion of the mouth. Recently, with the advancement of digital equipment, there has been a significant increase in cases where the dental arch is expanded or the teeth are pushed back to proceed without extraction. 🦷 Q3. I had braces when I was young, but they have become misaligned again as I have gotten older. Is it possible to have them re-corrected? Yes, of course it is possible! There are many adult patients who can restore their teeth to a straight alignment in a short period of time through partial orthodontics or clear aligners, especially in cases where crowded teeth have grown in again or teeth have gradually shifted due to neglecting retainer care. 😊 🎯 Conclusion: An investment in your youngest days for future oral health If crooked teeth are left untreated, food gets trapped between them, causing cavities and periodontitis (gum disease). Adult orthodontics goes beyond simple cosmetic purposes, The most reliable preventive treatment to protect your teeth and gums for a lifetime no see. ⚠️ Rather than wasting time hesitating thinking it's 'too late,' first have an experienced and trustworthy Prosthodontics specialist Find us and start with accurate digital precision diagnosis and consultation!

[Health Column] Orthodontic Extraction vs. Non-Extraction: Is Extraction Always Necessary? A Summary of Criteria, Pros, and Cons[3]
hello, Director Jo Byeong-ju of Shine Orthodontics no see. 👋 There are certain questions that people considering orthodontic treatment ask most frequently in the consultation room. These are inquiries mixed with concern, such as, "Do I really have to have teeth extracted?" and "Can a protruding mouth be corrected with non-extraction orthodontics?" There is a lot of information on the internet claiming that non-extraction is always better or that extraction drastically changes one's face, which further confuses patients. However, actual orthodontic treatment is not determined solely by whether or not to extract a tooth, Comprehensive diagnosis of tooth alignment, facial shape, degree of space shortage, etc. You must do it. In this column, I will explain the true differences between extraction and non-extraction orthodontics and provide clear selection criteria in an easy-to-understand manner. I hope this helps you find the right treatment direction for you! ✨ 1️⃣ What is the most important key point regarding tooth extraction versus non-extraction in orthodontic treatment? 📐 The essence that determines the success or failure of orthodontic treatment lies in 'securing space' to move the teeth. For both extraction and non-extraction orthodontics, the key to the treatment outcome is how much space can be secured to properly align the teeth. This is because only when adequate space is secured in our mouth can we use it to push a protruding mouth inward and straighten crookedly overlapping extra teeth. Generally, when performing extraction orthodontics Premolars (small molars) with a width of about 7 to 8 mm You will gain that much extra space by extracting the tooth. On the other hand, with the recent development of various orthodontic devices non-extraction By utilizing every possible means to the fullest extent through orthodontics, it has become possible to create space comparable to that of tooth extraction. Representative techniques for creating space without tooth extraction include Arch expansion (3~4mm) , Interdental reduction/IPR (3~4mm) , Posterior movement of molars (3~4mm) There are methods available, and by combining all of them, it is possible to secure about 9mm of usable space. < Case of Posterior Molar Movement > 📍 Example: If the space for tooth alignment is too narrow, resulting in severe crowding or a situation where a protruding mouth needs to be moved back significantly, securing space through premolar extraction can be a clear solution. However, if conditions allow for the precise application of non-extraction techniques, meaningful space can be achieved without extracting teeth. 📌 "Rather than relying solely on extreme online reviews and insisting on a specific method, it is essential to first undergo a precise dental diagnosis to determine the actual amount of space missing." 2️⃣ Can non-extraction space creation methods be applied equally to all patients? 📐 The three techniques for creating space without tooth extraction must be applied strictly and selectively based on the patient's oral and jawbone structure. The three methods for creating space for tooth movement through non-extraction orthodontics are excellent alternatives, but unfortunately, they cannot be unconditionally applied to all patients. This is because each patient has different anatomical characteristics. ① Expansion of the dental arch : This method is actually Limited use only for patients with a narrow jaw width You must do it. If this procedure is performed excessively on a patient with a normal jaw width solely for the purpose of widening the space, the overall occlusion may collapse or long-term stability after treatment may be significantly compromised. ② Interdental Reduction (IPR) : The side of the tooth Finely trim by 0.2~0.5mm It is a method of gathering the entire gap space. Generally, if the procedure is performed within 0.5mm per area, there are no problems with dental health, and it is advantageous to distribute the work evenly across multiple tooth surfaces rather than grinding down a large portion of a single tooth. If performed to the maximum extent on all areas, approximately 3mm of space can be obtained per side. ③ Posterior movement of molars This is a technique that creates space in the front by pushing the entire dentition backward. The most important thing here is Does there actually exist space within the bone for the molars to move backward? no see. In particular, a precise 3D diagnosis must be performed beforehand to determine if there is available space in the posterior area of the mandible (lower jaw). 📍 Example: If posterior movement is forcibly attempted on a patient who has absolutely no space to push the molars back due to structural limitations of the lower jawbone, the teeth may not move properly or side effects may occur. 📌 It is essential to receive a precise diagnosis from an orthodontist to determine whether arch expansion is necessary, or if the tooth structure allows for the safe application of interproximal reduction or posterior movement. 3️⃣ If you are on the borderline between extraction and non-extraction, what criteria should you use to make a decision? 📐 For borderline patients with a space shortage of 4 to 7 mm, the decision is made by comprehensively considering tooth shape, caries activity, type of appliance, and the patient's pain sensitivity. Based on the results of a precise examination, if the required space is significantly lacking by more than 9mm on each side, extraction is easily determined, while if it is slightly lacking by 4mm or less, non-extraction is recommended. The problem lies with 'borderline patients' who have a space deficiency of 4 to 7 mm. In this case, since both methods are possible, you must use the following five detailed criteria as a guide. ① Shape of the teeth: If the shape is close to a triangle, non-extraction treatment is much more advantageous. do. This is because it is shaped to fully utilize Interproximal Reduction (IPR), and the reduction can naturally reduce the 'black triangle,' the empty space between teeth. ② Number of prosthetics and dental caries (cavity) activity: If you have a lot of dental prosthetics in your mouth or an environment where cavities form easily, extraction orthodontics is actually better. This is because it is difficult to adequately perform interdental reduction, which involves finely grinding the sides of the teeth, in such an oral condition. ③ Type of calibration device used: Invisalign achieves arch expansion much faster, but traditional brackets (wire devices) perform molar posterior movement better. do. Therefore, even for patients who appeared capable of non-extraction posterior movement based on brackets, insisting on using Invisalign may actually lead to a situation where extraction becomes necessary. ④ Anatomical spatial limits: Regardless of whether wisdom teeth are extracted, it is necessary to determine how much bone space remains behind the molars that can actually be moved, and whether the jawbone is capable of accommodating arch expansion. If both non-extraction pathways are structurally blocked, it is advisable to choose extraction for a clean result. ⑤ Discomfort and pain felt by the patient: This is a point that many people misunderstand, In fact, the tooth extraction treatment itself is almost painless. In fact, arch expansion devices or posterior movement devices used in non-extraction orthodontics often cause greater discomfort and pain in the mouth. Therefore, if you prefer a slightly more comfortable and less cumbersome process during the orthodontic treatment period, we recommend tooth extraction. 📍 Example: If a borderline patient with square-shaped teeth and significant traces of cavity treatment finds it difficult to tolerate the pain and foreign body sensation of complex non-extraction devices, choosing to extract premolars rather than forcing a non-extraction procedure may be advantageous in terms of both the treatment process and the outcome. 📌 "When you are teetering on the edge, that is precisely when in-depth communication with medical staff truly shines. Please share your lifestyle and pain tendencies with the medical team in detail." 🔍 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Doesn't interproximal reduction (IPR) cause significant tooth sensitivity during non-extraction orthodontics? A1. No, you don't need to worry too much. 🙅‍♂️ Common tooth sensitivity usually occurs when the neck of the tooth (cervical area) is worn down. During interdental reduction, the area that is ground down very finely is the outermost 'proximal enamel' region of the tooth, where sensory nerves are not distributed. Since the amount removed is also very minimal, you do not need to worry about side effects such as sensitivity. However, if not performed precisely, food particles can get trapped between the teeth, creating an environment where cavities (dental caries) are likely to develop, so the procedure must be performed accurately by a skilled specialist. Q2. After having wisdom teeth extracted, will space naturally form to push the molars back? A2. It is half right and half wrong. 💡 When extracting a wisdom tooth that has erupted straight into the mouth, available space is created to push the molars backward by utilizing that opening. However, for impacted wisdom teeth that are completely buried in the gum bone, simply extracting them does not automatically create space for the tooth to move. In this case, the limit of the practically usable posterior space is determined by the anatomical boundary between the soft tissue and bone behind the tooth, rather than the presence or absence of wisdom teeth. 📋 Conclusion Today, we have taken a detailed look at the key criteria for tooth extraction versus non-extraction, which is the biggest concern for those facing orthodontic treatment. Having operated an orthodontic clinic in Nowon for a long time and personally treated countless cases, there are certainly tricky cases where even I, as an expert, agonize deeply over which approach—extraction or non-extraction—will bring the most perfect results to the patient. This is because orthodontic treatment is a precise medical field that must encompass not only visible gaps between teeth but also the condition of the gums, the overall treatment duration, changes in facial shape, and even the anatomical limitations imposed by the appliance. ⚠️ Please make sure to remember this! 📌 Rather than blindly deciding on a treatment method based solely on rumors such as "non-extraction is better" or "extraction is faster," the first step is to thoroughly examine your precise diagnostic condition. 📌 The wise choice at the borderline may vary depending on the shape of your teeth (whether they are triangular), the activity of cavities, and your sensitivity to pain. Above all, the most important key to success is to accurately align your desired aesthetic and functional goals through constant communication with medical professionals, and for the doctor and patient to move forward step by step while looking toward the same goal. As this is a significant journey that determines your smile and dental health for a lifetime, I sincerely hope you find a trustworthy orthodontist to discover the right solution that fits your oral structure perfectly. 🦷 Shine Orthodontics Director Cho Byeong-ju Graduated from Seoul National University Graduate School of Dentistry / Doctor of Dental Surgery Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary's Hospital Department of Orthodontics Intern / Resident Graduated from Catholic University of Korea Graduate School of Medicine with a minor in Plastic Surgery / Master of Medicine Visiting Professor, Department of Orthodontics, Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary's Hospital Visiting Professor at CHA University Gangnam Hospital Invisalign Official Faculty Regular member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists (KAO) Member of the Korean Society of Clinical Orthodontists (KSO) 2019/2020/2021/2022 Awarded the Excellent Case Presentation by the Korean Association of Orthodontists

[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.

[Health Column] Is It Okay to Get Orthodontics in Your 50s? How to Check the 'Golden Time' That Determines the Lifespan of Your Teeth[3]
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. Just as straight pillars are necessary to support a sturdy roof, aligning your teeth through orthodontics will significantly extend the lifespan of your future prosthetics or implants.

[Health Column] Do You Lose Weight When Getting Braces? A Fact Check on Braces and Dieting! ✨[12]
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.

[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.

[Health Column] 3 Criteria for Choosing the Right Orthodontic Device for You[5]
hello, Smile Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. If you are considering orthodontic treatment, you may have thought this at least once. “Should we lay the railroad?”, “Is expensive always better?” There are many types of devices, but explaining them is difficult, and the cost differences are even more confusing. We've selected only the most confusing points for those considering braces. , Let's organize it so that you can reduce unnecessary choices. 1. Which orthodontic devices should I avoid? ✨There are devices that may seem cheap, but can be a burden in the long run. Many people choose it because of the cost, but There are also devices that may increase discomfort during the treatment process. ⚠️ ✔️ Resin bracket At first, it is less noticeable because it is similar to the color of the teeth. Curry, coffee, etc. Discolors easily It can be Because the strength is weak, there is a possibility of the device wearing out or falling off. Treatment may take longer ✔️ General ligation bracket It is a method of tying wires with thin wires. The end of the wire pokes into my mouth It can cause injury High friction can slow down tooth movement → “If you choose based solely on the initial cost, the treatment process may become more difficult.” 2. Which is most important: cost, aesthetics, or speed? ✨Corrective devices vary depending on ‘my priorities’. Not every device is a good choice for everyone. I need to start by organizing the criteria I consider most important. 🔍 ✔️ If cost-effectiveness and performance are important to you? metal bracket A relatively inexpensive yet robust method You should take into account the obvious appearance ✔️ Want a treatment that doesn't leave any marks? Invisalign or Lingual correction Invisalign: Removable, Aesthetic Lingual braces: invisible, but cost and adaptation period must be considered. ✔️ Want quick treatment and less pain? Self-ligating brackets (Clippy, etc.) There is less friction, so teeth move relatively quickly. Less pain and fewer visits This is the preferred method for busy office workers. 3. What are the criteria for selecting a dental clinic that affect the outcome of orthodontic treatment? ✨What’s more important than the device is ‘who is providing the treatment.’ Even if it's the same device Your experience may vary depending on where and how you receive treatment. 🔸 Be sure to check during consultation At the dental clinic What device do you use the most? self-ligating device Whether to use When the device falls off Whether additional costs will be incurred 📌 Questions like these It serves as a criterion for assessing how much consideration is given to treatment efficiency and patient convenience. FAQ Q1. Do self-ligating brackets really shorten the treatment period? A1. Because there is less friction compared to general devices, in some cases the treatment period may be shortened. Q2. Can anyone get Invisalign? A2. While most are possible, bracket orthodontics may be more appropriate depending on the condition of your teeth. Adherence to the wear time is important. Q3. Are metal brackets cheaper because they are less effective? A3. No. While performance and precision are excellent, aesthetics may dictate preference. conclusion Orthodontic treatment is a process that can last from as little as one year to as long as two years or more. Rather than deciding based solely on price or surrounding reviews, It is important to choose the right one for your lifestyle and oral health. ✨ Rather than rushing blindly It is important to establish a treatment plan through sufficient consultation.

[Health Column] Does Braces Cause Nasolabial Folds? — The Real Cause, Misconceptions, and a Complete Guide to Braces[10]
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.

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