정재욱 원장26.05.26Views 38Likes 2 [Health Column] Is Natural-Looking Veneers Like Celebrities Possible? Ways to Reduce the Burden of Tooth Removal[2]
hello! Kim Yu-na, Chief Director of Claire Dental Clinic no see. ✨ There are so many people who come in for laminate consultations because they are unhappy with the shape of their front teeth or because their teeth have turned yellow. 🦷 The question most frequently asked at this time is... Is it possible to make it look natural without it being obvious? It is. If in the past people unconditionally pictured white and thick teeth, nowadays Natural transparency and harmony like original teeth The number of people who want that is increasing. Especially when struggling with yellow teeth, microdontia, or rabbit teeth "What if I grind down too much of the tooth?" There are many cases where people cannot readily make a decision due to worries. 😥 today Misconceptions about the standards for natural-looking laminates and the amount of tooth reduction I will clear it up for you! 1️⃣ What makes natural-looking laminates different? 💗 It is the difference of a custom design that enhances the overall facial impression and the inherent transparency of natural teeth, rather than simply having white teeth. ✨ In the past, aesthetic treatments had a strong tendency to focus on designing teeth that were noticeably bright and pure white. However, recently, the most important criterion has become reducing the artificial feel and determining whether it is "harmonious and natural, just like my own." 🥰 🔸 Factors to Consider When Designing Natural Laminates Face shape and mouth shape ratio It harmonizes with the overall facial contour and lip shape. The length of the teeth visible when smiling : Set the most beautiful length to match the smile line. Brightness that harmonizes with skin tone Rather than being unconditionally white, look for a tone that harmonizes with your skin color. Expression of natural tooth transparency : Reproduces the subtle transparent layer unique to teeth. 💡 Actual Cases and Examples When you see people around you who have had veneers, sometimes their teeth look too thick or artificial, don't you? That is the fine texture of the tooth surface or the tip Transparent layer expression It's because I missed it. By finely adjusting the transparency of the tips of the front teeth and the surface texture of the teeth, you can significantly reduce the artificial look. 📌 Director's One-Line Advice 💡 The key to successful aesthetic treatment is choosing a design that naturally blends into your facial features and smile line, rather than having a single tooth that is beautiful in isolation. 2️⃣ Do I have to shave down a lot of my teeth for veneers? Recently, depending on the condition of your teeth, the procedure can be performed with minimal or near-no removal to reduce the burden of removal. ⚠️ The biggest reason many people hesitate to get veneers is precisely this Concerns about tooth removal That must be the reason. However, recently, with the advancement of adhesive technology and materials, tailored to the condition of the teeth A method that is minimally deleted or close to no deletion There are now more cases where you can approach this. 👏 🔸 Cases where access is possible with relatively reduced deletion burden Originally small dwarf 🦷 When there is a gap between the teeth When mild and light tooth alignment correction is needed 📐 Unresolved by whitening discolored teeth 🎨 💡 Examples of situations to be careful about However, uncensored versions are not available in all cases! If the degree of tooth protrusion is very significant or the teeth are severely overlapping, a precise diagnosis is essential. Rather than blindly relying on the statement that "it won't be cut," it is better to find the right method that suits your current situation. 📌 Director's One-Line Advice 💡 Simply avoiding removal is not the answer. It is important to establish a treatment plan that allows for the safest preservation of natural teeth, tailored to your current tooth alignment and degree of protrusion. 3️⃣ Is it possible to improve rabbit teeth or yellow teeth? If you have a complex about the length, shape, or color of your front teeth, the satisfaction with aesthetic improvement is very high. ✨ There are many people who are unable to smile broadly and become withdrawn due to the particularly prominent shape or color of their front teeth. You can expect a positive change in your image by harmoniously refining shape issues and discoloration through lamination. 😎 🔸 Representative types of concerns with high aesthetic satisfaction Unusually short front teeth 🦷 Standing out Improved rabbit teeth feel 🐰 Not getting clean with whitening Yellow tooth tone correction 💛 Front teeth that are broken or worn down due to strong impact, etc. ⚠️ Misaligned asymmetrical front teeth 📐 💡 Actual Cases and Examples When looking in the mirror, if your front teeth are excessively large or bright, the gaze is drawn only to your teeth, which can actually make your overall impression look awkward. The key is not simply making your skin white, but finding and adjusting natural proportions that suit your facial vibe. 🥰 📌 Director's One-Line Advice 💡 Rather than simply choosing a white color, you should have the size and shape of your teeth meticulously designed to match your natural image and the proportions of your facial features to avoid regrets. 4️⃣ Are there any precautions I should take after laminates? To maintain good health for a long time, proper care habits and careful selection of a dental clinic must go hand in hand. ⚠️ As laminates are a high-quality aesthetic treatment, proper aftercare following the procedure is extremely important. If you have bad habits that strain your teeth, you must consciously pay attention to them to protect them for a long time. 😉 🔸 Lifestyle habits to be careful of after laminate treatment ❌ Habits of overusing teeth or forcefully chewing hard foods with front teeth Clenching or rubbing teeth hard while sleeping teeth grinding habit ⚠️ 💡 Checklist for Choosing a Hospital When choosing a dental clinic, you should avoid selecting one based solely on excessively low costs. To maintain stable and long-lasting satisfactory results, you must check the following factors in a balanced manner. Amount of tooth removal Whether it is being carefully adjusted 📐 scrupulous design process Whether it goes through 🎨 verified Materials used and correct Adhesion method Whether they stick to 🔬 medical staff Clinical experience in aesthetic treatment Is this abundant? 👩⚕️ 📌 Director's One-Line Advice 💡 The more you desire natural results and long-lasting results, the more important it is to communicate with medical professionals equipped with sufficient consultation processes and meticulous design capabilities. FAQ💬 Q1. Is getting laminates very painful? ? A1. You don't need to worry too much about pain!

It is best to adjust the tone to match your facial contours. 🎨 Q4. Is non-invasive laminate available to everyone? ? A4. Unfortunately, it is difficult to apply this to all cases. Since the feasibility of non-removal treatment varies significantly depending on each patient's tooth alignment and degree of protrusion, it is essential to A decision will be made after conducting a precise diagnosis first. You must do it to be safe. ⚠️ conclusion Laminates are by no means a one-dimensional treatment that simply changes the color of teeth to white and bright.

High-difficulty aesthetic treatment no see.

김유나 원장26.05.22Views 87Likes 1 [Health Column] Why You Shouldn't Use Just Any Toothpaste, and How to Check the 'Ingredients' That Suit Your Teeth 🪥[3]
hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. The toothpaste you use every morning and evening—are you perhaps mindlessly using a cheap product sold in bundles at the supermarket or whatever your family bought? 😊 In fact, toothpaste is not merely a foaming cleaner; depending on its ingredients, it is an important 'quasi-drug' that can either protect your dental health or actually damage it. 🛡️ Today, the thing patients most frequently miss at the dentist 3 Key Ingredients in Toothpaste I’ll pinpoint the key points on how to choose the toothpaste that’s perfect for you! 1. Are 'abrasives' for cleaning teeth suitable for my brushing habits? ? It wipes away stains from the tooth surface, but too much can be toxic! Accounts for 20–40% of toothpaste Abrasive It plays a remarkable role in removing food residue and plaque. but toothpaste with too strong abrasive power If you combine this with a habit of brushing your teeth vigorously horizontally, it causes problems. This is because 'cervical abrasion,' where the boundary between the tooth and gum is eroded in a wedge shape, can occur. 📌 If you usually have sensitive teeth or your gum line is already receding, toothpaste with a low abrasive index (RDA). It is much safer to choose . 💡 A word from the Director: If you brush your teeth hard Abrasive components Make sure to check this out! 2. 'Surfactants,' the main culprit behind foam, do they cause dry mouth? ✨Beware of oral mucosal irritation hidden behind the squeaky foam. Creating rich foam in toothpaste Surfactant (SLS) It enhances cleaning power, but it is strictly a chemical ingredient. If this ingredient remains in the mouth for a long time, it irritates the mucous membrane. Slows down the recovery from stomatitis or dries out the mouth dry mouth It can cause. 📌 If your mouth often feels dry or sticky Products with little or no surfactants I recommend do. ✨ Brushing Tips: If you use a lot of foaming toothpaste About 7 to 10 times You must rinse very thoroughly to ensure no ingredients remain! 3. 'Fluoride,' the key to preventing cavities—have you properly checked the concentration? The magic of 'remineralization' that strengthens teeth—concentration is the key. Fluorine It is a beneficial ingredient that protects teeth from acidic components and increases resistance to cavities. It is also effective for relieving tooth sensitivity. However, if the concentration is too low, it is difficult to see results. 📌 If you want to see the proper cavity prevention effects Fluorine concentration of 1,000 ppm or higher Choose a high-concentration fluoride toothpaste. 🔍 Checkpoint: Right now, on the ingredient list on the back of the toothpaste Fluorine content Check it out! Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Is it safe to use whitening toothpaste for a long time? ? A1. The hydrogen peroxide in whitening toothpaste is usually less than 3%, so it is not harmful to the human body, but, Prolonged use may cause tooth sensitivity. For those with sensitive teeth, I recommend toothpaste containing fluoride or potassium nitrate. Q2. What is the principle behind toothpaste specifically for sensitive teeth? ? A2. potassium nitrate The same ingredient blocks the tiny pores in the teeth It is a principle that blocks cold or hot stimuli from being transmitted to the nerves. Q3. How many times should I rinse after brushing my teeth? ? A3. With regular toothpaste, ensure that no detergent ingredients remain in the mouth About 6 to 10 times Rinsing thoroughly is the best way to reduce dry mouth and irritation. conclusion The condition of my teeth is the standard for choosing toothpaste. You should choose toothpaste suited to 'the condition of your mouth' rather than 'what others recommend.' 🦷 ✅ What if your teeth are heavily worn down? Low-abrasive toothpaste ✅ Worried about cavities? High-fluoride toothpaste Above all, proper brushing habits are essential for the toothpaste to be fully effective. If you are currently experiencing severe tooth sensitivity or pain, rather than trying to diagnose it yourself Visit a nearby dental clinic and consult with a specialist. Therefore, I recommend that you find the care method that suits you best. 👨⚕️✨ Smile D Dental Clinic Chief Director Oh Su-hwan - Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry - Major in Orthodontics, Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry - Board-certified Orthodontist by the Ministry of Health and Welfare - Regular member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists - Completed internship and residency in Orthodontics at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital - International member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) - International member of the World Federation of Correctional Organizations (WFO) - Regular member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists - Certified by the Korean Association of Orthodontists View more expert columns by Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Director of Smile D Dental Clinic 📎 [Expert Column] Clear Aligners: Wire-Free Orthodontic Treatment—Is It Really Unnoticeable? 📎 [Expert Column] No-Prep Veneers, Is It Really 'No Prep'?

오수환 원장26.05.12Views 88Likes 2 [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.

In mild cases, orthodontics alone can restore balance to chewing function and refine the jawline, so early diagnosis is crucial! 🩺 2.

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?" If space is very limited, tooth extraction may be necessary, but recently, due to advancements in technology Non-extraction orthodontics This possible case There are also many. 💡 Rather than worrying unconditionally, the priority is to find a method that suits you through a precise diagnosis. 5. What effect does a protruding mouth, which makes it difficult to close, have on health? If your lips part and wrinkles form on your chin even when you are still, suspect that you have a protruding mouth. The tip of the chin that gets caught when you force your mouth shut Walnut wrinkles Is this your concern? 🔸 Protruding mouths can easily lead to 'mouth breathing'. dry mouth If left untreated, bacteria multiply rapidly, leading not only to cavities and gum disease. Severe bad breath cause of It can also be this. ⚠️ Orthodontics not only finds harmony between the lips and jaw to create a sophisticated profile, but, A moist and healthy oral environment It is of great help in making. ✨ Proofreading FAQ Q1. Is orthodontic treatment done solely to become more beautiful? A1. No! Aesthetics are important, but, Proper chewing function and jaw joint health , and to keep teeth strong for a long time Functional therapy The nature of is much larger. Q2.

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.

정재욱 원장26.03.30Views 220Likes 2 [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.

정재욱 원장26.03.23Views 272Likes 4 [Health Column] What Happens When You Lose a Tooth? Oral Changes That May Occur One Year Later[7]
hello, Bupyeong 365 Dental Clinic Chief Director Kim Hyung-seok no see. There are people who feel that living with a missing tooth is not a major inconvenience at the moment. It is easy to postpone treatment, especially if it is in a hidden spot. However, teeth are not structures that function separately, A structure where the entire dentition supports each other It consists of. So, if you leave a missing space unattended for a long time, it is not simply a matter of a single empty space. Interlocking with surrounding teeth and a chain reaction of changes extending to the gum bone It can happen. If you thought, “It’s fine right now, do I really need to rush?” With today's content Why the neglect period becomes important I hope you will take your time looking through it. Why can surrounding teeth tilt if one tooth falls out? 🔸The empty space does not remain as it is and can affect the alignment of surrounding teeth. Teeth naturally maintain an arched arrangement by exchanging forces with adjacent teeth. However, if a tooth is missing in the middle, the teeth on either side may gradually tilt as the supporting direction becomes empty. When they are displaced from their proper positions like this, gaps form between the teeth, and food gets trapped more easily in those gaps. As a result, self-cleaning becomes difficult, and the risk of cavities or periodontitis in surrounding teeth may increase. Also, if the balance of the bite is disrupted, excessive force may be applied to specific teeth when chewing. In severe cases, it can lead to tooth fracture, and even if you try to get an implant later, there is insufficient space. Additional partial corrections may be necessary. 📌 In other words, even if it initially looks like a problem with just one tooth, over time Total dental problems You need to keep in mind that this can lead to... Can leaving a missing tooth untreated for a long time affect the jaw joint? 🔸If the interlocking teeth are lost, the balance between the upper and lower teeth becomes unstable, which can put a strain on the jaw joint. . The upper and lower teeth interlock to perform the function of chewing. However, if the lower tooth remains missing, the upper tooth will have nowhere to make contact and may gradually slide downward. If the position of specific teeth changes in this way, the occlusion becomes misaligned when closing the mouth, and this can affect the temporomandibular joint. The stiffness or clicking sounds in the jaw that you usually overlook can also originate from this imbalance. If this process is repeated Discomfort such as jaw joint pain or headaches It can lead to. So rather than simply thinking of it as “a vacant seat opening up,” Overall interlocking change It is important to view it as such. 🔸 Even if there is no pain right now, you must also consider that discomfort may increase over time. If a missing tooth is left untreated for about a year, does the gum bone change as well? 🔸The gum bone in the area where a tooth is missing may gradually be absorbed. . Tooth roots not only serve to anchor the teeth but also transmit the pressure generated during chewing to the gum bone, helping to maintain the bone. However, if a tooth is lost, the stimulation in that area decreases, and the gum bone may gradually begin to be absorbed. If left untreated for about a year, changes such as the gum line receding and the width and height of the bone decreasing may occur. When it reaches this state The difficulty may increase when considering implants later. there is. If there is insufficient gum bone, additional surgery may be required, and the treatment process may become more complex. Conversely, if measures are taken before bone resorption becomes severe, it is easier to consider restoring the original function. ⚠️ Ultimately, the longer you leave a missing tooth unattended, the less simple the problem becomes, and Rather, there is a possibility that the scope of treatment will expand. There is. FAQ Q1. If I don't feel uncomfortable even if I lose a tooth, is it okay to just live with it? A1. It explains that even if there is no significant discomfort immediately, over time, surrounding teeth may tilt, the bite may change, and gum bone resorption may progress. Therefore, it is important to check the condition even if the discomfort is minimal. Q2. If I leave a missing tooth untreated for a long time, won't getting an implant be the end of it? A2. Over time, partial correction may be necessary due to insufficient space, or additional surgery may be required depending on the condition of the bone. In other words, treatment may become more complex than before. Q3. What is the first thing you should pay attention to after losing a tooth? A3. The longer it is left untreated, the more likely it is to affect surrounding teeth, the jaw joint, and even the gum bone. Therefore, rather than blindly postponing it, the priority is to accurately assess the current situation. conclusion Losing a tooth may not simply mean the creation of a single empty space. As time passes Tilting of surrounding teeth, changes in occlusion, alveolar bone resorption This is because multiple changes can follow together, like this. In particular, it is important not to overlook the fact that a problem that initially appears small can later lead to more extensive treatment. This does not mean you must rush to decide on treatment, but Checking the current state first and establishing criteria for judgment It is necessary. 📌 Even if the discomfort is not significant, if the period of neglect is prolonged, it may be helpful to have it checked at least once. ✨ Please carefully determine the best direction for your dental condition through a consultation with a medical professional.

hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. Among those considering orthodontic treatment Do I really need to get braces? , Is it okay to start now? There are many cases where people hesitate. There are visible concerns like crooked teeth or a protruding mouth, but In reality Oral health Ina Everyday inconveniences Therefore, there are quite a few cases where correction is necessary. In this column Orthodontics 4 Representative Recommended Cases Centered on, I will explain step-by-step what discomfort may arise and what changes can be expected through correction. 1. If you are concerned about a protruding mouth If your lips do not close comfortably and your mouth appears to protrude, you may consider correcting your protruding mouth. One of the main reasons many people hesitate to get braces is precisely this. protruding mouth no see. Protruding teeth can be caused by genetic factors, or by teeth moving forward due to habits such as thumb sucking during childhood. In this case, the lips do not close naturally You may unconsciously tense the area around your mouth, causing wrinkles to form on your chin or making your expression look somewhat blunt. If you move the teeth to the proper position through orthodontics Your lips close more comfortably, and your overall facial appearance may look more natural and refined. For example, if you are always self-conscious about your mouth shape when taking photos, If you feel uncomfortable keeping your mouth closed even when you are still, it may be worth getting it checked. 🔸 Reference Points On the surface, it may seem like a simple concern about "looking like your mouth is sticking out," but It is recommended to confirm the actual condition through a consultation, as the alignment of the teeth and the position of the lips must be considered together. 2. Cases where teeth are uneven or there is severe crowding. Malocclusion or crowded teeth can not only cause issues with appearance but also create blind spots during brushing, which can affect oral health. uneven tooth alignment malocclusion Ina snaggletooth Is It is easy to think of it as merely a superficial issue, but in reality, correction is often recommended for health reasons. If your teeth overlap, even if you brush hard It is easy for areas to form that the toothbrush cannot reach well. Such blind spots ultimately tooth decay me gum disease You can increase the possibility. If you straighten your teeth through orthodontic treatment It makes oral hygiene management much easier and can help keep your own teeth healthy for longer. for example, If you repeatedly feel that a specific area is always uncomfortable or that dental floss doesn't go in easily even after brushing your teeth It might not be a simple habit problem, but an arrangement problem. 🔸 Reference Points A good-looking layout is important, but, It is more important to also consider whether the structure makes it easy to clean the spaces between the teeth. 3. In the case of an open bite where the front teeth do not touch If your front teeth do not touch even when you close your mouth, the functional discomfort may feel greater than the appearance. A state where a gap forms between the upper and lower front teeth, preventing them from touching each other, even when the mouth is tightly closed. open bite It is called. In this case, it is not just a visible issue; the inconvenience felt in daily life is quite significant.

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.

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.

Why is the border between the teeth and gums particularly dark? ? A2. This area is difficult to reach with a toothbrush and is prone to tartar and plaque buildup. As the surface becomes rougher, pigmentation may become more noticeable. Q3. Can whitening toothpaste address the cause of discoloration? A3. Whitening toothpaste Light coloring on the surface It may help with relief. However, there are limitations to resolving changes in the internal color of teeth or deep staining. 📝 conclusion ✔️ Tooth discoloration can happen to anyone. ✔️ It's not just a problem caused by eating certain foods. ✔️ Tooth structure, lifestyle habits, oral care, and the passage of time all work together.

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.

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 원장25.12.08Views 570Likes 6 [Health Column] Is Misaligned Teeth Facial Asymmetry? The Accurate Guide to Orthodontic Treatment[7]
hello. Director Kim Hyeon-sun of Ceramic Dental Clinic no see. I looked at myself in the mirror , “ It seems like the center line of my teeth doesn't line up with the center of my face. …? Facial asymmetry ? " This kind of worry , You've probably tried it at least once . In fact, many people come for orthodontic consultation. Is the misalignment of the tooth centerlines a simple alignment problem? , or not facial structure ( chin · bone ) Is it a problem? It's difficult to decide on your own, so visit a dentist. . today ✔️ Why do the center lines of teeth shift? , ✔️ How is it related to facial asymmetry? , ✔️ What is the standard for judging treatment? I'll let you know soon . 1. Why do the center lines of teeth shift? ? The main reason why the center line of the teeth is not aligned with the center of the face is Two things It is organized as . 🔸 Dental causes ( teeth · gum problems ) When the left and right teeth are different sizes When there is an imbalance in the arrangement of teeth due to overbite on only one side When teeth are pushed to one side due to tooth loss Like this Asymmetry of tooth arrangement This can cause a shift in the center line. . 🔸 Facial structural causes ( chin · nasal bone problems ) Asymmetry of the jawbone itself Deviated septum ( A condition in which the nasal bone dividing the nostrils is crooked ) If it is a structural cause, if necessary ENT · plastic surgery We also see patients together . But the important point is ! If there is an accompanying dental occlusion problem, Improvement is possible with just correction. There are many cases . 2. tooth Oh, is it important to align the center line? ? Is facial balance more important? ? 👉 Both are important, but ' Purpose and Standards ' This is different . This is one of the questions I get asked a lot. . “ Is the centerline of the teeth important? , Is facial symmetry important? ? " ✔️ Harmony between the center of the face and the center line of the upper teeth First, check whether the center line of the face and the center line of the upper teeth naturally align when you smile. This criterion is important when evaluating ‘aesthetics (natural smile)’. ✔️ Alignment of the center lines of the upper and lower teeth Next, How closely do the center lines of the upper and lower teeth match? I see. But the important point here is, It doesn't have to be perfectly 0mm! The molar occlusion is stable Center line difference within 1mm ramen There may be no need to force the teeth to move. Also, according to the standards of the Korean Orthodontic Association, Center line misalignment within 1.5 mm on both sides Is Normal dental range Also considered as . in other words , Correct occlusion + aesthetic harmony , The direction of correction is determined by considering the two criteria in a balanced manner. . If you have any aesthetic criteria you want , Depending on the individual's condition, treatment may be chosen to further align the center line. . FAQ Q1. Does a misaligned centerline of teeth mean facial asymmetry? ? A1. No, it's not . The center line can be misaligned just from teeth alignment issues. . Structural causes such as jawbones must be distinguished through diagnosis. . Q2. Do I have to align the center line exactly to make it look pretty? ? A2. Aesthetically, the more naturally the center lines align, the more harmonious it is. , Functionally, 1mm My difference Sometimes ramen isn't a big problem . Q3. If there is a structural problem, do I necessarily need surgery? ? A3. Even if there is a structural cause There are many cases that can be improved with just correction. . After an accurate diagnosis, we determine whether or not to use it concurrently. . conclusion Although tooth centerline misalignment may seem like a simple aesthetic problem, In reality stability of occlusion , Harmony of the entire face , Functional comfort These must be considered together. The extent to which the center line is misaligned Functionally problem-free range It could be, on the other way When occlusal imbalance affects the balance of the face There is also. So rather than judging on your own, It is very important to determine the exact cause through professional diagnosis. Orthodontic treatment is a method that can improve three things at once: facial balance + teeth alignment + functional comfort. Accurate diagnosis + customized treatment plan Once it is established, It will greatly help you regain a more natural, harmonious smile and stable facial lines. ✨ Ceramic Dentistry Director Kim Hyeon-sun Graduated from Seoul National University College of Dentistry Catholic University College of Medicine, Department of Orthodontics, Visiting Professor Orthodontic specialist (Ministry of Health and Welfare) Orthodontics and Accreditation (Korean Orthodontic Association) World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO) Fellowship Associate Professor of Outpatient Clinic, CHA University Hospital Director of Hyun Ceramic Dental Clinic Source: This column was written with reference to the guidelines of the Korean Orthodontic Association.

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

Today, we will discuss how to reduce discomfort during orthodontic treatment and promote tooth movement. 3 Tips for Braces Let me introduce you to . 1. 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.

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.

김현순 원장25.07.10Views 250Likes 6 [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.
