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

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 Moon Ji-hwan of Ribom Oriental Medicine Hospital no see. If you look in the mirror The jaw looks slightly off to one side or There are times when the facial contours look subtly different. Many people simply jaw joint problems I think only of Roman, but In reality, it is higher up than the face 1st and 2nd cervical vertebrae (the uppermost part of the neck) It plays an important role in the facial central axis and balance. ...does. Even a slight misalignment in this area can have a chain reaction affecting the tilt of the skull, the position of the jaw, and the left-right balance of the face. 👉 Why the upper cervical spine is the key to facial asymmetry 👉 Why facial asymmetry is connected to overall body problems 👉 How Korean traditional medicine approaches this I will share up to this point. Why do small changes in the 1st and 2nd cervical vertebrae affect the face? 👉 The upper cervical spine is the most important structure for maintaining the head's central axis; if it is unstable, facial alignment can also change. The upper cervical vertebrae (C1 and C2) are the key parts that directly support the head and determine the central axis. no see. Even if this alignment is shaken only slightly, the tilt of the skull changes, and that change Jaw position and jaw joint movement It can have a direct impact on. The movement of the head moving forward when opening the mouth wide and backward when closing it, too A reaction made possible because the upper cervical spine provides stability. are you. ✔️ So on the surface, it looks like only the jaw is misaligned, but the actual starting point is upper cervical spine It could be. ✔️ In other words, when looking at facial asymmetry, before the jaw It is important to check the alignment of the 1st and 2nd cervical vertebrae. do. How does muscle tension around the jaw joint lead to asymmetry? 👉 Changes in the central axis of the head → Changes in muscle tension → Asymmetry in jaw movement It can be connected to. The jaw joint moves most stably when the muscles on both sides are balanced. but If the upper cervical spine is misaligned The center of the head shifts slightly, and That change Tension in the muscles around the jaw It also affects... If one side of the muscles becomes more tense and the other side becomes weak The lower jaw is pulled in a specific direction Asymmetrical movement or change in position may appear. ✔️ Because the skull is a structure where several bones interlock, Even small changes in tension can appear more pronounced in facial contours. ✔️ In the end, It is the result of cervical spine alignment and muscle balance working together, rather than a problem with the jaw alone. It could be. Is facial asymmetry really just a problem of the face? 👉 Facial asymmetry can be a sign of overall body imbalance. Imbalance in the upper cervical spine affects not only the face From the shoulders to the spine, pelvis, and legs It can trigger a chain of impactful changes. Because the body continuously generates compensatory movements to maintain balance, the following changes may occur. 🔸 Shoulder height looks different 🔸 Persistent neck and trapezius muscle stiffness 🔸 Imbalance in force distribution between the left and right sides of the waist and pelvis 🔸 Imbalance that makes leg lengths feel different 🔸 Increased headaches and eye strain ✔️ In other words, Facial asymmetry = A sign of overall body alignment abnormalities It could be. ✔️ So There are limitations to an approach that corrects only the face. It can happen. Then, how does Korean traditional medicine approach this? We look at it together within the 'flow of the whole body,' not just the face and jaw. In Korean medicine, the face is not viewed in isolation; instead, the balance of the body's flow and functions is considered important. To relieve tense muscles and unbalanced fascial flow Acupuncture and pharmacopuncture This is utilized to regulate whole-body muscle tension An environment where overload does not accumulate around the jaw The goal is to make. Also, if the upper cervical spine alignment is unstable, Considering the flow from the spine to the pelvis, cervical spine, and skull together Spinal alignment restoration surgery This can be utilized, It explains that assistive devices such as lifters, hammer correction rods, and correction stones can be helpful in this process. ✔️ The key point is 👉 An approach that stabilizes the foundation of full-body alignment, not just the face. ✔️ It is meaningful in increasing the potential for functional improvement. Bone surgery Ribom Oriental Medicine Hospital Facial asymmetry correction General manual massage Correction principles Since the upper and lower jaws are cut and repositioned, facial changes are concentrated only on the jaw area, so eyebrow height or cheekbone position may differ. As the shape of the skull and jawbone returns to their original healthy positions, the entire facial baseline—including the eyebrows, eyes, cheekbones, corners of the mouth, and jawline—is corrected. Skin and muscle layer massage cannot move misaligned bones. Treatment methods Surgery performed through anesthesia, incision, and osteotomy Correcting even minute misalignments using orthodontic tools.

Improves blood and energy circulation and asymmetry in the skin and muscle layers recovery period About 2 weeks No impediment to daily life No impediment to daily life side effect Sagging cheeks, pain, facial paralysis due to tissue damage, etc. With fundamental treatment that allows bones to return to their proper positions, there is virtually no concern for side effects. If received incorrectly, the condition may actually worsen. Recurrence In cases of facial asymmetry caused by poor posture and body deformation, it is difficult to resolve the issue by simply shaving the bone, raising concerns about recurrence. By properly restoring the entire structure rather than treating only the problematic parts, there is virtually no concern about recurrence. There is a concern about recurrence because only localized areas, such as muscles and skin layers, are treated rather than the misaligned bone. FAQ Q1. Can facial asymmetry be resolved immediately by correcting only the alignment of the upper cervical spine? A1. Results may vary depending on an individual's overall body alignment, muscle tone, and lifestyle habits. Restoring upper cervical alignment is meaningful in creating an environment that can help with facial balance, and an approach that views the whole-body flow together is more advantageous. Q2. Does everyone with facial asymmetry need treatment? A2. Not everyone requires treatment. Natural left-right differences exist in everyone, and treatment is not strictly necessary unless there is daily discomfort or functional problems (pain, limited mouth opening, jaw clicking). However, if the asymmetry worsens or is accompanied by jaw joint discomfort, a professional evaluation is helpful. conclusion Facial asymmetry is simply Problems limited to the face and jaw Rather, it is the result of the whole-body alignment flow manifesting on the face. It could be. especially The first and second cervical vertebrae are key structures that form the central axis of the head. Therefore, changes in this area can affect the jaw and facial balance. ✔️ Rather than correcting only the face separately, ✔️ It is important to view full-body alignment and muscle flow together. do.

Cause Type explanation Congenital factors (genetics) Approximately 70-80% of patients with prognathism have a family history of the condition. The developmental pattern of the jawbone is genetically determined. acquired factors (habits) Things like jaw clenching, mouth breathing, chewing on one side, and sleeping positions can affect jaw growth. in other words, Jaw structure at birth + growth environment + lifestyle habits All of these affect the chin. 3. Cases where correction is possible without surgery Even if it's a spatula chin If the imbalance of the jawbone itself is not severe, , Improvement is possible with orthodontic treatment alone. ✔️Teaching If it can be improved with sincerity Crossbite Teeth alignment problems If it comes from of the chin If the difference before and after is minor During the growth period (adolescence) Period when growth control is possible ✔️Examples of treatment methods Miniscrew (fixed) It is used to move the lower teeth backward and guide the upper and lower teeth into a normal occlusion.

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.

What is a no-brainer? No chin This refers to a face shape in which the lower jaw is positioned backwards from its normal position or the jaw itself appears small. When viewed from the front, the jawline is blurred, and when viewed from the side, the chin is barely visible, making the boundary between the neck and chin appear ambiguous. An accurate diagnosis is necessary because it can affect not only the shape of the face but also the occlusion, temporomandibular joint, and respiratory function. ✔️ Self-Diagnosis Checklist The hard bone at the tip of the chin is not easily palpable. When you close your mouth, a bumpy 'walnut line' appears at the tip of your chin. The jawline is barely visible in the profile view and the chin is sunken in.

Functional problems caused by the absence of a jaw No chin is not just a cosmetic issue, it can also lead to various functional problems. ✔️ Occlusal problems If the lower jaw is pushed back, the upper and lower teeth will not fit together properly. malocclusion This happens. This makes it difficult to chew food, It can even lead to digestive problems. ✔️ Temporomandibular joint problems If the jaw position is unbalanced, excessive tension is created in the temporomandibular joint. Joint pain, vocalization, limited mouth opening Symptoms such as: In the long run Tooth wear or gum damage It can also spread to secondary problems. ✔️ Breathing problems In severe cases of chin reduction, the lower jaw is pushed back, causing the tongue to move backwards, narrowing the airway. Risk of snoring or sleep apnea during sleep This can be high. 3. How is orthodontic treatment performed? Braces without teeth are not limited to simply aligning teeth. This is a complex treatment that moves and rotates the lower jaw forward. Before correction, we precisely diagnose jaw position, occlusion, muscle tension, etc. through digital scanning and 3D analysis, and establish a customized treatment plan accordingly. commonly The treatment period takes about one and a half to two years. And, in order to avoid putting excessive strain on the lower jaw, even during treatment, Improving lifestyle habits This is very important. ✔️ Lifestyle habits to watch out for during braces Rather than hard and chewy food soft meal Please select Avoid resting your chin on one side. Balance on both sides Please keep it Please refrain from opening your mouth excessively wide. Long-term use of smartphones and monitors Don't stick your chin forward Please take care Simply managing these habits well during the treatment period can reduce the burden on the temporomandibular joint and increase the treatment effect. 4. Is surgery absolutely necessary? Non-surgical approach is possible for chin correction, but if the lower jaw is severely regressed or there are skeletal problems, Jaw surgery This may be necessary. However, in most cases, appearance improvement and functional recovery are possible with orthodontic treatment alone. An accurate diagnosis will determine whether or not surgery is necessary. Being chinless is not just a matter of appearance. Structural problems that affect occlusion, breathing, and temporomandibular joint health no see.
