hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. There are so many people who suffer from throbbing and swollen gums when their wisdom teeth start to come in, aren't there? "It'll be fine in a few days," "I'll just have to take painkillers and hang in there" Most people endure the pain, saying... However, wisdom tooth pain may simply be a fleeting pain, but It could be an 'inflammation signal' sent by my body. Today, I will clearly explain why wisdom tooth pain occurs and in which cases extraction is absolutely necessary! ✨ 1. Why on earth does wisdom tooth pain occur? The cause is a wisdom tooth that failed to properly settle due to insufficient jaw space! Wisdom teeth are the last molars to erupt, usually in the late teens or early twenties. The biggest problem is The fact that there is insufficient space in our jaw for wisdom teeth to erupt properly It is. 😥 Since it came out late after the other teeth had already taken their place, Situations where it protrudes obliquely, lies on its side, or is completely buried (impacted) within the gums This occurs. During this process, the surrounding gums and teeth are continuously irritated, causing pain. 📌 Wait! Is it perhaps something like this? If the gums around your wisdom tooth are swollen and throbbing every time you chew Pericoronitis It is highly likely. Food particles and bacteria have accumulated in the gaps between the wisdom teeth, causing inflammation, so it is dangerous to leave it untreated! ⚠️ 2. Should I go to the dentist right now for my wisdom tooth? ? 🦷 If the symptoms below recur, never dismiss them as mere discomfort! If you neglect wisdom tooth pain Causing cavities in the front molars or reducing concentration, etc. It can ruin your daily life. Check out the following list! ✔️ 🔸 The gums swell and subside periodically. 🔸 I feel a tingling sensation or pain when chewing food. 🔸 My breath seems to have gotten worse than before. 🔸 Food keeps getting stuck in the wisdom tooth area and won't come out. 🔸 It is difficult to carry on with daily life without taking painkillers. 3. When is wisdom tooth extraction absolutely necessary? 🦷 We don't extract all wisdom teeth, but extraction is recommended in these cases! Just because you come to the dental clinic, we do not tell you to have it extracted unconditionally. but Situations where tooth extraction is necessary for oral health This definitely exists. 👨⚕️ 🔸 When tooth extraction should be considered - When a wisdom tooth is lying sideways and pushing against an adjacent tooth - When swelling is severe due to recurrent inflammation - When cavities develop in the wisdom tooth itself or adjacent teeth - When future problems are anticipated due to the complexity of the ambush situation On the other hand, if the wisdom teeth have grown in straight and nicely and are well-maintained, Regular observation alone is sufficient You can do it. The important thing is knowing your own condition accurately, right? 4. Sudden pain, what first aid can be done at home? You can put out the immediate fire, but please remember that it is only a temporary fix! If your pain suddenly worsens at night or on weekends when it is difficult to visit the dentist, the following methods may be helpful. 📌 ✅ Cold compress: Please apply a cold compress to the swollen area. ✅ Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs: Please take over-the-counter medicines available at pharmacies. ✅ Mouthwash/Waterpik: Please remove food particles from crevices using antibacterial mouthwash or a waterpik. ✅ Soft food: Please avoid irritating the painful area. ⚠️ Be careful! Cold compresses or taking medication only temporarily delay the pain. If the cause is not resolved, it can spread into more serious inflammation, so you must get a check-up! FAQ Q1. Does wisdom tooth pain go away if I just endure it? ? A1. It may subside temporarily, but due to its location, it is difficult to manage, so there is a very high probability that bacteria will multiply again and inflammation will recur. Q2. Do I need to have an impacted wisdom tooth extracted even if it doesn't hurt? A2. Even if it does not hurt now, extraction is sometimes recommended as a preventive measure if there is a possibility of damaging the roots of the front teeth or forming cysts. conclusion ✨ Wisdom tooth pain is primarily caused by a lack of space in the jaw and inflammation (pericoronitis). ✨ Recurring swelling, pus, severe bad breath This could be a sign of tooth extraction. ✨ Rather than extraction Check your 'current condition' through a precise dental check-up Doing it is the priority. Wisdom tooth pain won't be resolved by enduring it. Don't endure pain that disrupts your daily routine any longer; consult a specialist! 🦷✨ Seoul Centum Dental Clinic Chief Director Lee Hyun-seop Specialist in Integrated Dentistry Graduated from Korea University Master of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University College of Dentistry Regular member of the Korean Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Implantology Regular member of the Korean Endodontic Society Regular member of the Korean Academy of Integrated Dentistry Member of the American Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry (AACD) Member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) Full member of the International Congress of Implantologists (ICOI) Experience in placing over 17,000 implants Possesses extensive overseas experience visiting over 10 countries Experience with numerous complex implant cases Read other health columns by Director Lee Hyun-seop > [Health Column] Why Are Impacted Wisdom Teeth a Problem?

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 19Likes 2 [Health Column] Why Thread Lifting Is Not Just Simple Skin Tightening, but ‘Realigning Facial Structure’ ✨[3]
hello, Representative Pengpeng, Center Director Kwon Bong-sik no see. Many of you are probably worried about deepening nasolabial folds or a sagging jawline every time you look in the mirror, aren't you? Recently, the number of people coming in for consultations while considering thread lifting has increased significantly. However, it is unfortunate that many people make a decision knowing only that it involves "pulling the skin with thread." The essence of thread lifting lies not in pulling the surface of the skin, but in '3D structural realignment' that rearranges sagging tissue three-dimensionally. Today, I will go into detail about the scientific principles behind how thread lifting improves signs of aging and what you absolutely must check before the procedure! 🔎 What are the anatomical principles of thread lifting? 💬 It is not just simple traction, but 'biomechanical correction' that returns sagging tissue to its youthful position. The key to thread lifting lies in repositioning and fixing soft tissues and the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) that have sagged due to gravity caused by aging, bringing them closer to their anatomical original positions. ✨ artificial ligament role : The tiny protrusions on the thread fix the tissue, and as the thread is absorbed, it promotes collagen synthesis to form a 'fibrous band.' This acts as a sturdy reinforcement for weakened retaining ligaments. artificial ligament It becomes a... 🌿 Efficient facial expressions : When the weight of the tissues concentrated downward is distributed, the overload on the facial muscles is reduced. Thanks to this, muscle movements become more efficient, and much Improve natural facial expressions This becomes possible. 💡 If you only pull the surface of the skin, it may look awkward. We must approach this from the perspective of normalizing the position of the deformed organization and strengthening the supporting structure. How scientifically proven are the effects of thread lifting? 🧪 💬 immediate physical traction effect is certain, Skin improvement mechanism It also has a histological basis. Thread lifting appears immediately after the procedure Physical relocation effect This has already been sufficiently proven through numerous clinical cases. ✅ Playback effect : The underlying mechanisms, such as collagen production occurring around the thread, have clear histological evidence. ⚠️ Points to note : However, the duration of the effect or the degree of skin quality improvement may vary significantly depending on individual constitution and care habits. Therefore, rather than exaggerated expectations Accurate data tailored to me It is important to receive counseling based on this. What are the practical points patients must understand before the procedure? 💬Approach this as a concept of 'maintenance treatment' for conservative management, rather than as 'surgery' for excision. ! Thread lifting is not a surgery that cuts tissue. Improving the structure by moving sagging tissue back to its original position and compressing it conservative procedures It is. 🤝 📌 Naturalness and safety : It has the significant advantage of being less physically burdensome than surgery and producing natural results. 🕰️ Continuous management : However, in reality, it is absorbed over time, and the traction is bound to decrease gradually. Therefore, rather than ending it once, Slow down the aging process and maintain optimal condition It is advisable to understand this as a concept of 'management'. FAQ Q1. Won't the pain be too severe during the procedure? ? A1. Although there are individual differences, pain can usually be sufficiently controlled by using local anesthesia. 🧊 For those with sensitive skin Triple anesthesia system including additional cooling anesthesia We are doing our best to minimize any inconvenience, so please don't worry too much! Q2. Can I go to work or go out immediately after the procedure? ? A2. Yes, it is a non-incisional procedure. Discharge on the same day and return to daily life It is possible. 🏃♂️ Although bruising and swelling vary from person to person, they will subside quickly and resolve naturally if you apply a cold compress according to the instructions provided. Q3. I'm scared that my face will become too tight after the procedure and look unnatural. A3. A design that pulls excessively or ignores facial structure may be the problem. 🎨 Individual Custom design considering facial balance and muscle movement If this is done beforehand, you can achieve sufficiently natural results. 🔸 conclusion: To make the best choice for me Facial sagging is not merely a surface skin issue, but a complex change resulting from aging. 🔍 Individual customization : Because everyone has different skin thickness, fat volume, and bone structure, Suitable treatment method It must also be different. ✨ careful decision : Rather than undergoing a procedure unconditionally, getting an accurate diagnosis of your current condition is the priority. 👨⚕️ The Importance of Counseling : I recommend that you communicate fully with medical professionals to determine the most appropriate course of action for you.

hello. Director Jae-wook Jeong of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. Lowered sugar content by using artificial sweeteners instead of sugar Zero Sugar Drinks The craze is really huge, isn't it? Many people believe that since there is no sugar, they won't have to worry about cavities, so they eat to their heart's content. Are zero-calorie drinks really the perfect solution for our dental health? today The Truth About Zero Drinks from an Oral Health Perspective Let's dig deep into this! 1. Is 'acidity' the problem with zero-calorie drinks rather than causing cavities? 🍋 👋 Artificial sweeteners themselves do not cause cavities, but their strong acidity can dissolve teeth. Artificial sweeteners such as sucralose or aspartame found in zero-calorie beverages A structure that cavity-causing bacteria cannot break down It doesn't directly cause cavities. However, the real problem is the unique characteristics of the beverage. Acidity (pH) It is located at. The enamel, the outer surface of our teeth, is Corrosion at pH 5.5 or lower It starts to become, but most zero-calorie sodas are much lower than this. Strong acidity between pH 2.5 and 3.5 It takes on. Even without sugar, this acidic component erodes teeth and weakens the surface, resulting in a state that is much more vulnerable to cavities and tooth wear. 2. It's sugar-free, so why does my mouth feel dry? 🌵 👋 Caffeine and additives reduce saliva secretion, creating an environment favorable for bacteria to thrive. Caffeine and artificial additives in carbonated drinks cause dry mouth. Our saliva plays a very important role in neutralizing acidity in the oral cavity and protecting the tooth surface. If you drink zero-calorie beverages too often instead of water, your mouth dries out, creating the perfect environment for bacteria to multiply. This not only causes terrible bad breath, but in the long run, gum disease Caution is required as it could become the main culprit! 3. How to enjoy zero-calorie drinks while protecting your dental health? 🥤 👋 Please use a straw and be sure to rinse your mouth with water after consumption. Although zero-calorie beverages pose a lower risk of cavities than regular drinks, it is important to change your habits for oral health. • Using straws : It reduces the surface area where beverages come into direct contact with the teeth, preventing corrosion caused by acid. • Rinse your mouth with water : Rinse lightly with water immediately after drinking to remove the contents of your mouth Neutralize acidity You must order it. • Brush your teeth after 30 minutes : Brushing immediately after your enamel has been weakened by acidic ingredients can accelerate tooth wear. It is best to wait about 30 minutes before brushing! ❓ FAQ Q1. Is sparkling water better for your teeth than Zero Coke? ? A1. Yes, generally, carbonated water is less harmful. However, sparkling water is also acidic, so it is not as safe as still water. You need to be especially careful with sparkling water flavored with lemon or lime, as it is even more acidic! Q2. Are snacks like 'Zero Gum' or 'Zero Jelly' okay? ? A2. There is no sugar, but it is jelly's sticky nature This is the problem. This is because it sticks between the teeth for a long time, keeping the acidity in the mouth high and promoting bacterial growth. In addition, the organic acid components that provide the refreshing taste can cause tooth erosion, so brushing your teeth after consumption is essential! 📝 conclusion Zero sugar is just an alternative; it cannot replace water! Ultimately, even zero-calorie drinks are affected by strong acidity. Tooth erosion It has another risk called For healthy oral care, please avoid the habit of drinking zero-calorie beverages like water, and be sure to practice proper care after consumption. ⚠️ Regular dental checkups We recommend that you check the wear condition of your tooth surface in advance through this and enjoy smartly!

정재욱 원장26.05.11Views 32Likes 3 [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!

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. If you feel uncomfortable, do not hesitate.

hello. Director Jae-wook Jeong of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. The experience of breaking your front teeth with a 'crunch' while chewing hard food, or bumping them against something, happens much more commonly than you might think. Since your front teeth are the most important part in determining your impression, your heart will sink the moment you look in the mirror. But don't worry too much! Appropriate coping methods and treatments tailored to me If you know just this, you can protect your precious teeth and fully regain your bright smile. Today, I'll pick out the key information and share it with you! 1. What if your front tooth suddenly chipped? Check 'this' before going to the dentist! 👋 Please remember these three things before visiting the dentist: secure the fragment, check for nerve exposure, and do not neglect the problem! Although you may be flustered by a sudden accident, checking the checklist below first can significantly improve the treatment outcome. 🦷 Don't throw away tooth fragments! If the broken piece is large Physiological saline or milk Soak it in water and bring it back as soon as possible. Depending on the condition, reattachment may be possible. ⚠️Can you see the nerve? How is the pain? If the fractured area appears red or the sensitivity is severe, the nerve is exposed Emergency situation It could be. In this case, you must rush to the dentist without delay. 🚫 "It's just a little, it'll be fine, right?" Never neglect it! If bacteria penetrate even a tiny, barely visible gap Internal cavities or additional damage This can lead to medical expenses being several times higher later. 2. What is the perfect treatment for my dental condition? 👋 Depending on the extent of the damage, you must select the optimal method, ranging from resin to implants. Since teeth do not heal naturally once broken, a professional diagnosis is essential depending on the depth of the fracture. What if it's a slight crack or micro-damage? ➡️ [Resin] It is a method of filling with material that matches the color of the teeth. Immediate recovery on the same day The fact that it is possible is a big advantage! ✨ If you have moderate damage requiring shape improvement? ➡️ [Airnate / Laminate] It is effective when resin is insufficient. Especially Airate It restores broken areas precisely and naturally with almost no tooth removal. What if it is severe damage with more than half broken? ➡️ [Crown] If a root canal is necessary, the entire tooth needs to be protected by a sturdy crown. You can think of it as the tooth's 'armor'! 🛡️ What if the tooth is fractured all the way to the root? ➡️ [Implant] When a tooth cannot be saved, it must be extracted and the most natural-looking artificial tooth implanted to restore function. 3. What should I do to keep my treated front teeth strong for a lifetime? 👋 Maintenance is key for dental prosthetics! Your front tooth usage habits and regular checkups determine their lifespan. . There are promises you must keep to maintain your carefully treated front teeth for a long time. ✨ 🍎 Say goodbye to the habit of crunching with your front teeth! Prosthetics are more sensitive to impact than natural teeth. Chewing on ice, biting into an apple, breaking off tough meat It is best to avoid this. (Please cut into small pieces with a knife before eating!) 🪥 Oral assistive devices are a necessity, not an option! The boundary between the prosthesis and the gum is a vulnerable area prone to cavities. Please clean it thoroughly using an interdental brush or dental floss. 📅 Date the dentist every 6 months! By checking the adhesive condition through regular inspections, you can prevent sudden detachment or damage. ❓ FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions Q1. If I put the broken pieces back together, will it be as sturdy as before? ? A1. If the surface is clean, reattachment is possible, but the bonding strength will inevitably be weaker than that of the original tooth. If you consider durability and aesthetics Resin or airate It is often more advantageous to reinforce with this. Q2. The crack is really tiny, so it should be okay to just leave it, right? ? A2. Even a small scratch can cause the fractured area to gradually enlarge if chewing force is continuously applied. ⚠️ The sharp edges may cause injuries inside the mouth, so it is safer to trim them slightly or apply protective treatment. Q3. Can I eat right after treatment? ? A3. You can eat immediately after the procedure for resin or airnate! However, until it is fully established Avoid very hot or cold food, and sticky food on that day. Please don't forget to be considerate and avoid that! 😉 📝 conclusion Don't neglect your bright smile! As time passes, treating a broken front tooth becomes more complex and the financial burden increases. Are you feeling a little better? The time you want to can be the most dangerous. Key Summary: Collect the fragment ➡️ Nerve check ➡️ Visit the dentist quickly! Management Points: Avoid hard foods & regular checkups are essential!

hello! Son Dong-guk, Chief Director of Toktok Plant Dental Clinic It is. 😊 ✏️ At the end of the long journey of implant treatment, once the artificial tooth (prosthesis) is perfectly fitted, There are so many patients who breathe a sigh of relief, saying, "Phew, it's all over now!" but The real success of your implant starts now. Did you know that? So that you can use the implants you spent significant cost and precious time to complete healthily for a lifetime, The lifespan of the prosthesis Core Management Principles I will explain it to you easily and kindly. ✏️ If the prosthesis becomes loose or falls out, does that mean the implant has failed? 👉🏻Don't panic! It can be a natural phenomenon. Implant prostheses are secured by tightening screws or using special adhesive, and the issues that occur when we chew food Tremendous pressure because Over time, the screws may loosen slightly or the adhesive strength may weaken. 👉🏻 Natural phenomenon: This is not so much a surgical defect as something that can occur during chewing. 👉🏻 Simple solution: Simply visiting a dentist to tighten or reattach it is sufficient to resolve the issue. 👉🏻 Neglect is forbidden: If you feel anything unusual, do not hesitate to see a medical professional immediately! ✏️Why is personalized design necessary for dental implants? 👉🏻 This is to prevent bacterial invasion and minimize food particles getting stuck. . Unlike natural teeth, implants lack the 'periodontal ligament' that blocks bacteria, so food is structurally more prone to getting trapped. So, Smart Implant Dental Clinic Tailored to each patient's gum line Personalized abutment Design and fabricate the prosthesis We are doing that for you. 👉🏻 Thorough self-management: The patient's effort is just as important as the customized design! 👉🏻 Oral aids are essential: Using interdental brushes or dental floss is not an option, but a 'necessity'. 👉🏻 Expected effects: This is the surest way to prevent peri-implantitis and use the prosthesis for a lifetime. ✏️ Why is 'balanced chewing' important after attaching prosthetics? 👉🏻 This is because it is essential for the new tooth to settle stably in the oral cavity.

At this time, consciously Practice using both sides evenly You must do this. 👉🏻 Dispersion of force: It effectively distributes the vertical pressure applied to the implant fixture. 👉🏻 Ensuring stability: It helps the prosthesis sit in a balanced position without leaning in a specific direction. 🔹 FAQ: We'll answer your questions! Q1. Can I eat immediately after the prosthesis is attached? ? A1. Until the adhesive completely hardens At least 1 to 2 hours Stabilization time is required. Please avoid foods that are too hard or sticky on the first day! Q2. If I hear a clicking sound from the prosthesis, does that mean the implant is broken? ? A2. No!

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

정재욱 원장26.04.27Views 224Likes 2 [Health Column] The Effects and Side Effects of Herbal Medicine for Weight Loss? The Truth and Misconceptions Based on 10,000 Patients[1]
hello, Director Lee Ji-hye of Miol Korean Medicine Clinic Gwangmyeong Branch no see. only taking herbal medicine "Will I really lose weight just by doing that?" 🤔 This is the question most frequently and earnestly asked by those who have decided to go on a diet. Conversely, there are also many voices filled with concern, asking, “Won’t it eventually lead to a yo-yo effect or be bad for your health?” Today, I will honestly clear up the misconceptions and reveal the truth about herbal weight loss, based on what I have confirmed by meeting over 10,000 patients over more than 9 years! 1️⃣ How is a herbal medicine diet different from general appetite suppression? 📌 This is a 'customized metabolic treatment' that identifies the root cause of your body's weight gain. It is definitely different from ordinary medicines that simply suppress appetite. The priority is to first figure out why my body gains weight and why it is particularly difficult to lose it. In Korean traditional medicine, the causes of obesity are broadly categorized into three types for approach. Splenic energy deficiency: When digestive function is weak and waste products accumulate easily Liver Qi Stagnation When the circulation of Qi is blocked due to stress Phlegm and fluid: When weight gain occurs along with edema due to inefficient water metabolism The reason prescriptions differ completely from person to person, even with the same body weight, is precisely because the 'cause' is different. 2️⃣ What effects do they actually produce? 📌 Lose body fat and boost metabolic efficiency to build a 'body that gains less weight'. The most noticeable change is not the numbers Body composition It is a change. ✔️ I aim to lose body fat while maintaining muscle mass as much as possible without excessive dietary restrictions. Natural satiety : As digestive function improves, your food intake naturally decreases without having to force yourself to hold back. Breaking through the plateau : It boosts metabolic efficiency to bring about change during a plateau where your weight doesn't budge despite your efforts. Preventing muscle loss : Lose weight healthily while preventing muscle loss issues associated with starving. 3️⃣ Misunderstandings and Side Effects, Let Me Be Honest! ⚠️ 📌 Side effects are temporary, and the yo-yo effect is a matter of 'lifestyle habits' rather than 'herbal medicine'. The yo-yo effect that many people worry about is not so much due to the medication, but rather, Occurs when returning to previous eating habits after treatment do. This is the same for any diet method. Initial discomfort : Digestive discomfort, mild diarrhea, and changes in sleep may occur, but these are mostly temporary. Customizable : If you experience any discomfort, please inform your attending Korean medicine doctor, and the prescription can be adjusted immediately, so you can rest assured. Worried about your liver health? : Herbal medicines prescribed by medical institutions have a low risk of liver toxicity, and research results have reported that they actually improve liver enzyme levels or are as safe as general pharmaceuticals. 4️⃣ Can someone like me see results too? 📌 It is most important to check if this method is right for you. 🔹 I recommend this to people like this! Unresolved by diet and exercise Diet plateau menopause or mountain after Hormonal changes Cases where you suddenly gained weight PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) Obesity with underlying causes Stress or lack of sleep Cases where it is difficult to control binge eating ⚠️ People like this, please be careful! Pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as those with specific underlying medical conditions, must undergo sufficient consultation in advance. 5️⃣ Checklist You Must Check Before You Start! 📌 Carefully check if the place has a systematic management system. Thorough pre-treatment : Avoid places that recommend medicine first without analyzing your constitution and the cause. Continuous progress management : It is generally best to choose a place that checks your body's changes and adjusts the prescription every two weeks. Integrated Management Program : Please check if dietary guidance and lifestyle correction are provided along with herbal medicine. Transparent consultation : Being clearly guided on the treatment plan and estimated costs from the start is the foundation of trust. FAQ Q1. When do the effects appear? A1. Usually, you can feel initial changes in weight and body composition after about two weeks. However, the goal is to proceed consistently for about 4 to 12 weeks to fully restore metabolic function and improve your constitution. Q2. Won't I gain weight again if I stop taking the herbal medicine? A2. If you correct your dietary habits and restore your metabolic function during the period of taking herbal medicine, it is possible to maintain the results. 📌 You can sufficiently prevent the yo-yo effect as long as you do not revert to your old bad lifestyle habits after stopping the medication. Q3. Can I take this with diet injections or other medications? A3. If you are currently taking any medication (appetite suppressants, GLP-1 injections, etc.), please be sure to mention it during the consultation! ⚠️ It is not impossible to use them in combination, but the prescription composition may vary depending on the condition. conclusion 🔸The Right Choice for Me Herbal medicine dieting is not the same magic medicine for everyone. Just as the reasons for weight gain vary from person to person, a sophisticated approach tailored to me is necessary. If you are trying hard but still can't lose weight, it is not a matter of willpower. Issues with my body's metabolism and constitution It could be. Instead of starting blindly, try beginning by accurately assessing your current physical condition. We hope you find the perfect healthy diet solution for you through a consultation with an expert! 💖 Miol Korean Medicine Clinic Gwangmyeong Branch Director Lee Ji-hye Completed Master's degree in Clinical Korean Medicine at Kyung Hee University Bachelor of Korean Medicine, Dongguk University Member of the Korean Society of Oriental Medicine for Obesity Cumulative patients treated 10,000 more than 1 person Diet treatment experience 9 more than a year hyeon Miol Korean Medicine Clinic Gwangmyeong branch Chief Director YouTube Diet Oriental Medicine Doctor Lee Ji-hye Herbal medicine diet tailored to your constitution ( Sasang Constitution Prescription ) Herbal medicine for appetite and metabolism regulation Weight loss without yo-yo effect – Metabolic recovery program climacteric , Postpartum weight management PCOS, Hormonal imbalance obesity treatment Stress-induced binge eating , Emotional eating management Breaking through a diet plateau

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

hello! Director Kim Jae-hee of Cody Plastic Surgery no see. As we age, the first place you notice changes when looking in the mirror is your eyes, isn't it? If your eyelids droop and look heavy, or if the area under your eyes becomes puffy, you are bound to look much more tired than your natural appearance. While these changes are a natural phenomenon caused by aging that goes beyond mere appearance issues, You can regain a vibrant impression with just a small correction. Today, I will summarize the key points of eye surgery for middle-aged women in an easy-to-understand way! Why do eye changes keep happening in middle age? 💡 The main cause is a decrease in the elasticity of the tissues around the eyes! Symptom check Drooping upper eyelids may obstruct your vision, or bulging fat under the eyes may make dark circles appear more severe. It's the main culprit behind that haggard and tired look. 👁️ importance The eyes are the center of a person's impression, so even the slightest change can drastically alter the overall atmosphere. 💡 If you have been hearing lately that you look increasingly sleepy, it is time to check for a loss of elasticity around your eyes. How can I improve heavy upper eyelids? 💡 You can regain definition through upper eyelid surgery and eyebrow lifting. . 🔹 Upper eyelid surgery Improves sagging upper eyelid skin to make the eyes look sharper. ✔️It corrects the habit of using your forehead muscles to open your eyes due to sagging eyelids, effectively reducing eye fatigue! 🔹 eyebrow lift It is a method that pulls the skin along the line below the eyebrow. ✨It is perfect for those who want a natural change without worrying about scars while keeping their existing double eyelids. Are you worried about puffy under-eyes and dark circles? 💡 Create a radiant look with lower eyelid surgery and under-eye fat repositioning. . 🔸 Lower eyelid surgery It simultaneously resolves under-eye fat protrusion and skin sagging. We recommend this if you have severe skin sagging and require fundamental improvement. 🔸 Under-eye fat repositioning It is a method that not only removes fat but also spreads it evenly to sunken areas. The uneven under-eye area is smoothed out, giving a much younger appearance. ❓FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions! Q1. Is upper eyelid surgery different from regular double eyelid surgery? A1. Yes, it is different! The main purpose is not simply to create lines, but to remove sagging skin and improve the 'strength of opening the eyes' itself. Q2. Can't it be improved without surgery? A2. If the symptoms are in the early stages, they can be corrected to some extent with fillers or lifting, but If sagging or fat protrusion is severe Surgical methods are much more effective and offer higher satisfaction. 🎯 Conclusion: The key is "naturalness"! The biggest point of middle-aged eye surgery is Regaining youth naturally without drastically changing your appearance no see. 📌 Custom analysis is essential. The condition of the eyelids, fat, and muscles must be analyzed comprehensively. 📌 careful choice Rather than blindly undergoing a trendy surgery, it is important to design the method that is most suitable for you.

손동국 원장26.04.22Views 73Likes 2 [Health Column] Horizontal wrinkles on the bridge of the nose and drooping eyelids, why do they occur together? The solution is 'forehead lift'! ✨[6]
hello, Director Baek In-soo of Garnet Plastic Surgery no see. Have you ever been worried about sagging upper eyelids, only to be flustered when you suddenly discovered deep horizontal wrinkles etched on the bridge of your nose? They seem like concerns about completely different body parts, but in fact, these two are Descent of forehead tissue It is often a concern that originates from a single root. Today, let's explore the root cause of that heavy expression and how to solve it together! 🫧 Why do drooping eyelids and wrinkles on the bridge of the nose always appear as a set? ? 🟢 This is because the forehead tissue, pulled down by gravity, causes the structure around the eyes to collapse. Over time, facial tissues lose elasticity and gradually sag downward due to the influence of gravity. In particular, when the forehead and eyebrows sag downward, the skin of the upper eyelids overlaps, eyelid drooping This appears. The problem doesn't end here! When our vision is obstructed by drooping eyelids, we unconsciously try to open our eyes wide. Repeatedly use the forehead and glabella muscles You will end up doing it. In this process Horizontal wrinkles on the bridge of the nose It is about settling deeply. 💡 It is easier to understand if you think of it not simply as a problem with the eyelids, but as a 'chain reaction' starting from the forehead! What exactly is the role of a forehead lift? ? 🟢 It restores sagging forehead and eyebrows to their original positions, improving the fundamental structure. . Forehead lifting is not simply a surgery to pull the skin. The goal is to restore balance to the upper face by entirely rearranging the tissue layers supporting the forehead and eyebrows. • Natural improvement : When the eyebrows are raised, the overlapping eyelids naturally spread out. ✨ • Muscle tension relief : You no longer need to overuse your forehead muscles to open your eyes. • Wrinkle reduction : As muscle overuse is reduced, you can expect the horizontal wrinkles on the bridge of the nose and between the eyebrows to soften. What is the right forehead lift method for me? ? 🟢 The incision method varies depending on the individual forehead width and problem areas. To achieve natural and long-lasting effects, you must move the muscles and soft tissues together, rather than simply tightening the skin. 🔹 Endoscopic forehead lift : We make only a small incision inside the scalp and use an endoscope to precisely dissect and fix the tissue. 🔹 Incisional forehead lift : It is a method of making an incision along the hairline or scalp to directly pull and fix the tissue. 🔹 Hairline correction combined : If you are concerned about a wide forehead, the hairline position is adjusted simultaneously with the forehead lift. What changes can I expect after a forehead lift? ? 🟢 You can achieve not only distinct eyes but also an overall soft and bright impression. ✔️ Droopy eyebrows are lifted, making the heavy eye look refreshing. ✔️ The habit of tensing your forehead to open your eyes is corrected, and forehead wrinkles are alleviated. 📌 ✔️ Reduced tension on the glabella and bridge of the nose improves horizontal wrinkles. ✔️ It has the effect of making the overall impression clearer and brighter. ⚠️ However, please keep in mind that the degree of improvement may vary depending on skin elasticity and individual structure! Are there any precautions or side effects for a forehead lift? ? 🟢 As with all surgeries, changes during the recovery process and skilled diagnosis are essential. ! 📍 recovery process : Swelling and bruising may persist for about 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. 📍 sensory change : The sensation in the forehead or scalp may be temporarily dulled, but in most cases, it recovers over time. 📍 Medical staff The importance of : Caution is required, as asymmetry or excessive elevation may occur if the medical team lacks surgical experience. Thinking that "simply having eye surgery will solve everything" can be dangerous. This is because if the cause lies in the forehead, eyelid surgery alone may not yield satisfactory results. Who do you recommend a forehead lift to? ? 🟢 If you are having these concerns, a forehead lift can be an effective alternative! ✅ Suitable cases • Those whose eyelids and eyebrows have sagged simultaneously • Those whose wrinkles deepen due to the habit of opening their eyes using their forehead muscles • Those who repeatedly develop horizontal wrinkles on the bridge of the nose or between the eyebrows • Those who are concerned about their eyes looking dull and their impression looking heavy ⚠️ Cases requiring caution • Cases where only the eyelid skin itself is stretched (upper blepharoplasty may be more suitable) • Those with severe chronic diseases or hemorrhagic disorders • Those with unrealistic expectations regarding the surgical outcome FAQ Q1. Does the horizontal wrinkle on the bridge of the nose definitely improve as well? A1. Yes, in many cases, it improves! The principle is that wrinkles are naturally alleviated as the habit of excessively tensing the muscles around the nose when opening the eyes disappears. However, deep wrinkles may require additional care. Q2. I'm worried that I'll have a lot of scars after the surgery. A2. Most incisions are made inside the scalp or along the hairline, so they are not easily visible from the outside. Although there are variations depending on individual constitution and care, the surgery is performed in a way that minimizes the burden of scarring. Q3. Do the effects last a lifetime? A3. Forehead lifting improves structural causes, so the effects last for a relatively long time. However, since the aging process continues even after surgery, some changes may appear after a very long time. Conclusion ✨ Forehead lift It is a surgery that goes beyond simple cosmetic purposes to harmoniously improve functional discomfort of the eyes and the overall impression. Do not view drooping eyelids and wrinkles on the bridge of the nose as separate issues, Approach based on the entire upper facial structure Doing so can be a fundamental solution. ✨ Accurate diagnosis comes first. : It is important to distinguish whether the cause is the eyelids or the eyebrows. ✨ Selecting skilled medical staff : Consult with an expert who has a good understanding of facial anatomy. ✨ natural impression : It is better to plan within a range that suits you rather than being overly ambitious.

hello, Director Choi Seon-hee of Seoraeseon Dental Clinic no see. The first concern that comes to mind for those considering veneers is probably "Aren't I cutting off too much of my precious teeth?" or "What if I regret it later because my teeth are sensitive?" It will be the part that does that. While laminates are undoubtedly a treatment that offers high aesthetic satisfaction, their impact on dental health varies widely depending on the method used. Therefore, we do not blindly approach this solely as a 'beauty treatment.' 💛 Do I really have to grind down my precious teeth? 👉🏻The key is a 'preservation-centered' step-by-step diagnosis that minimizes the amount of tooth removal depending on the condition of the tooth. Many people mistakenly believe that veneers always require significant tooth reduction. However, in reality, it is broadly divided into three directions depending on the condition of the teeth. Uncensored : A method performed with minimal tooth removal Minimize deletion : Only fine polishing of approximately 0.2~0.5mm is performed. Standard laminate : Applied when significant shape correction is required 📌 Principles of Seoraeseon Dental Clinic: Top priority is uncensored Consider as And, the treatment direction is determined in the order of minimal deletion only when impossible, and general deletion only when truly necessary. 💛 In what cases is non-invasive laminate possible? 👉🏻 You can improve only your complexes while maintaining the natural shape of your teeth as much as possible. Uncensored is not available for everyone, but it is worth considering if you meet the conditions below. ✔ Cases where teeth are not severely protruding ✔ When you want to adjust the size or length of your teeth ✔ When the primary purpose is to improve tooth color ✔ When the tip of the front tooth is slightly chipped or shape correction is needed ✔ If your gums are healthy 💡 The biggest appeal of no-prep veneers is that they can significantly change your appearance with minimal damage to your teeth. 💛 Why is 'uncut' so important? 👉🏻 This is because long-term 'tooth lifespan' is more important than aesthetic 'beauty'. The most important criterion in laminate is Tooth preservation no see. The uncensored method has the following distinct advantages. 🔸 Minimizing nerve damage : It preserves the structure of natural teeth as much as possible. 🔸 Prevention of side effects : The likelihood of coldness or sensitivity occurring is significantly reduced. 🔸 Life protection : In the long run, you can keep your teeth healthy for longer. ✨ Seoraeseon Dental Clinic's Philosophy: We approach treatment with the principle that "safe results come before pretty results." 💛 What makes Seorae Seon Dental Clinic's laminates different? 👉🏻 We don't fit the teeth to the design; instead, we start the design to fit the teeth. laminate not just simple 'plastic surgery' Precise diagnosis Access it as. 🦷 Direct 1:1 diagnosis by the Chief Director : Director Choi Seon-hee carefully assesses whether non-censorship is possible. 🦷 Custom design : We provide a 1:1 design that takes into account tooth shape, gum line, and even facial shape. 🦷 Naturalness : We avoid artificial, overly bright, or large designs, aiming for a result that looks like your natural teeth. 🔍 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Do I always have to have a lot of my teeth shaved down for veneers? A1. No! Depending on the condition of the teeth, it is sufficient to perform the procedure without or with minimal removal. The most important thing is not the amount of deletion itself. Tooth preservation It is a diagnosis that prioritizes [this]. Q2. Is there any oral condition that must be checked before the procedure? A2. Yes, you should first check for cavities or gum inflammation, as well as tooth cracks or teeth grinding habits. A strong foundation is essential for laminates to last a long time. Q3. Is laminate permanent once done? A3. On average, it is maintained for several years to about 10 years. However, depending on the individual's care status, replacement or re-treatment may be necessary. 🏁 Conclusion: Checklist for Making Regret-Free Choices Make sure to check these three things before getting laminate treatment! Whether the tooth condition allows for non-removal treatment Please check first. Is it a hospital that recommends preservation rather than unconditional procedures? Take a look.

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

hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. When consulting with patients in their 50s at the dental clinic, there are really many who wave their hands and say, "Why would I need braces at this age? I'm embarrassed." However, the 50s are not the time to give up on braces; rather, it is a very important step that determines the final lifespan of your teeth. Golden Time Did you know that it could be? Today, based on medical evidence, I will go over the feasibility of orthodontic treatment for those in their 50s and the precautions in detail. 🔍 1. Orthodontics for those in their 50s: What is 'this' more important than age? ? ✨ The key is not the number of years, but the 'gum stamina' to support your teeth. . To start with the conclusion, orthodontic treatment is fully possible even in your 50s, and the results can be very good. but, 'Foundation work' to withstand the orthodontic device The key is whether it has been done. Here, foundation work refers to the support for the tooth roots. Condition of the alveolar bone It refers to. What I check most meticulously when diagnosing patients 3 indicators It is as follows. height of the alveolar bone : Just like the soil that supports a tree, the gum bone must sufficiently cover the roots to withstand orthodontic forces. Activity of periodontal inflammation : Forcibly moving teeth while the gums are inflamed, swollen, or bleeding can be dangerous as it accelerates bone resorption. Structure of the existing prosthesis: If you already have multiple implants or bridges, careful planning that takes this into account is essential. ⚠️ If there are problems with these three indicators, I do not recommend correction, no matter how much you wish to. Because safety comes first! 2. Cases where correction is absolutely necessary vs. cases where it should be postponed for a while ? ✨ Check the 'recommendations' and 'cautions' based on your dental condition. . Enduring it unconditionally is not the answer. Depending on the situation, orthodontics is a shortcut to a healthy old age It can also be this. 📌 ✅ We recommend braces for these people! My gums are well cared for, though. People whose teeth are gradually becoming spaced apart or misaligned molar left missing Those whose adjacent teeth have tilted and whose overall occlusion has collapsed especially Creating space for implant placement If necessary It is very effective. ❌ Caution is required for these people! severe gum disease : If your teeth are very loose, gum treatment comes before orthodontics. uncontrolled systemic disease : It is not recommended for those with slow wound healing due to uncontrolled diabetes or other conditions. Middle-aged Orthodontics FAQ Q1. Doesn't getting braces when you're older make your teeth weaker? ? A1. While excessive correction can be dangerous, straightening misaligned teeth actually reduces food accumulation and makes maintenance easier, so in the long run, Great help to gum health This becomes Q2. Does the correction period take much longer than for young people? ? A2. The movement speed may be slightly slow due to slow cell metabolism. However, not a complete correction Partial correction In this case, there are many instances where it ends within a few months, so don't worry too much. What matters is not speed, but 'safety'. Q3. Wouldn't it be better to just get implants instead of braces? ? A3. If you only implant a tooth when its structure has collapsed, it may result in greater costs and time later on. Correcting the foundation through orthodontics is a wise 'preparation for old age' for the era of centenarians. conclusion 'Reconstruction' of tooth structure for the 100-year lifespan era Orthodontic treatment for people in their 50s is not just a cosmetic procedure. ✨ To eat deliciously and converse happily with my teeth for the next 40+ years A thorough cleaning and restructuring of the oral structure no see. Just as straight pillars are necessary to support a sturdy roof, aligning your teeth through orthodontics will significantly extend the lifespan of your future prosthetics or implants.

hello. Director Jae-wook Jeong of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. Wisdom teeth, located at the very back of the mouth, often cause deep worry about whether or not to have them extracted, just as much as the pain when they erupt. Wisdom teeth are not simply a matter of removing a single tooth, An important process of managing 'potential risks' to overall oral health no see. today Types of wisdom teeth, extraction criteria, and the risks of leaving them untreated Let's take a closer look at this. 1. What shape are your wisdom teeth growing in? ? 👋 It is divided into 4 main types depending on the jawbone space and gum condition. . The way wisdom teeth grow varies from person to person, but they can be broadly classified into four types. ✔️ Normal eruption It is positioned to grow straight up vertically, just like the other molars. If there is enough space, the fit is good, and it is kept clean, you do not necessarily have to pull it out. ✔️ Partially Ambush Only the crown of the tooth is slightly visible, and the rest is covered by the gums. It is very easy for food to get stuck, so there is a very high chance of inflammation. ✔️ Complete ambush It is completely buried within the gum bone. Even if it is not visible on the outside, regular checkups are essential because cysts can form or bone resorption can occur internally. ✔️ Horizontal (impacted wisdom tooth) It lies completely sideways and grows toward the roots of the front molars. Press on the front teeth The main culprit that twists teeth It is. 📌 A word from the Director! In order to know exactly what condition my wisdom tooth is in It is most accurate to have an X-ray taken at a dental clinic. 2. Is it okay to just leave a painless wisdom tooth alone? ? 👋 Even if there is no immediate pain, you should consider extraction if there is a hidden 'potential risk'. . Many people ask, "Why extract it when it doesn't hurt?" However, leaving abnormally grown wisdom teeth untreated can lead to the following problems. ⚠️ Domino Cavities : Because of food stuck between the wisdom tooth and the front molar Even healthy molars will decay along with it. ⚠️ Tooth misalignment : Wisdom teeth growing horizontally can push against the front teeth, causing the teeth alignment that was carefully corrected to become misaligned again. ⚠️ Chronic inflammation and bad breath : As food particles decompose, they cause terrible bad breath and gum disease, and in severe cases, can even dissolve surrounding bone. Of course, if your wisdom tooth grows in properly and does not affect the adjacent teeth, you do not need to have it extracted. However, if management is difficult, a 'management plan for the future' is necessary. 3. When is the best time to decide on wisdom tooth extraction? ? 👋 Check the recommended action guide based on the condition. classification Major status Recommended measures tooth extraction is mandatory Recurring pain, swollen gums, cavities in front molars, discovery of a cyst in the jawbone Extract the tooth as soon as possible Follow-up observation Erupted properly and well cared for, deeply embedded in the bone with no effect on surrounding teeth.

Having an aversion to the insertion of external foreign substances such as fillers Natural volume improvement I recommend this to those who want it. ✨ It can be a very effective alternative, especially if you want to regain elasticity without an artificial look, or if your impression looks sharp due to a lack of volume in your cheeks. conclusion Recent lifting trends are Naturalness and harmony no see. Rather than simply following trendy procedures, it is absolutely necessary to thoroughly analyze your facial contours and skin condition. ✅ Key Points: From a lifting that merely pulls to a lifting that fills volume! ✅ Management Points: Rather than blindly deciding on a procedure, check your current condition (hollowing vs. sagging) first. ✅ Specialist Consultation: Since skin conditions vary from person to person, you must undergo a professional diagnosis. 💛Your precious face, The right management method that suits you perfectly I hope you become healthier and more beautiful through this.

Therefore, the aspect ratio of the teeth and bright brightness You must select a design that looks best in photos, prioritizing this above all else. ✨ 👰 In cases where the focus is on the main ceremony (wedding). The guests will see the actual item from a very close distance. In this case, 'naturalness' and 'comfort' are the key, rather than the colors under the lighting.

오수환 원장26.04.02Views 160Likes 5 [Health Column] If You Feel Implant Movement or Wobbling? Why You Shouldn't Just Leave It Alone[8]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. Even those who have been using their implants comfortably for a long time may one day suddenly get the feeling, "Huh? It feels like something is moving slightly..." It looks fine on the outside and there is little pain, so it is easy to dismiss it as insignificant, but this is a very important signal from our body. Today, I will explain in an easy-to-understand way why this phenomenon occurs and why you should absolutely never leave it untreated. ✨ 1. Can implant movement be normal? To start with the conclusion, a normal implant never moves. Our natural teeth have a cushioning tissue called the 'periodontal ligament' that allows for slight movement, but implants are structured to be firmly fixed directly to the jawbone. Therefore, if you feel even the slightest shaking or movement, it is a definite sign that there is a problem somewhere, so you must identify the cause. 2. What are the main causes of dental implants becoming loose? From gum inflammation to loose screws, the causes are more diverse than you might think. 1️⃣ Peri-implantitis (most common cause) ⚠️ If inflammation occurs in the surrounding area, the gums and bone are damaged, weakening the fixation. Since implants lack nerves, pain appears late; therefore, if you feel movement even without swelling, it is highly likely that the condition is already progressing. 2️⃣ Loose screws (surprisingly common) 🔩 An implant consists of a root (fixture), a connection (abutment), and a prosthesis (crown). If this internal screw loosens, only the upper prosthesis can wobble even if the root is intact. While it can often be easily resolved by retightening, please be careful as leaving it unattended can damage the structure! 3️⃣ Bone fusion problems 🦷 This is a case where 'osseointegration,' the process of the implant firmly bonding with the bone, did not occur properly. It can be affected if you have low bone density or systemic diseases such as diabetes or osteoporosis. 4️⃣ Excessive force (teeth grinding, chewing habits) 💪 Implants do not have the function of absorbing shock. If habits such as clenching your teeth or enjoying hard foods are repeated, microscopic damage accumulates and eventually causes them to become loose. 3. What happens if I just leave slight shaking alone? ? 🦷 Ignoring small vibrations is the most dangerous choice. . 📌 Progression stages if left untreated Slight shaking occurs The surrounding bone is gradually absorbed The fixation force weakened rapidly. at last Implant failure and need for re-implantation 😱 The very moment you feel, "It seems to be wavering a little," is actually the golden time for treatment. 4. In what cases should I go to the dentist without delay? ? 🦷 Even if you do not experience pain, you need to get a check-up immediately if you have any of the following symptoms. . ✔️ When you feel a wobbly sensation while chewing food ✔️ When the implant moves when force is applied in a specific direction ✔️ When you feel like food keeps getting stuck between your implants ✔️ When your gums frequently swell or feel uncomfortable 5. Can you check or resolve this yourself? ? 🦷Absolutely forbidden! Touching or pressing with your hands will worsen the condition. Forcing yourself to click on information found on the internet is really dangerous. Since treatment methods vary completely depending on the cause, an accurate diagnosis by a specialist is essential. [ Examples of Treatment Methods by Cause ] ✔️Screw problem ➡️ Simple stock fixing ✔️Inflammation problem ➡️ gum treatment ✔️Structural problem ➡️ Prosthetic replacement ✔️Root problem ➡️ implant re-implantation 6. Preventive measures to ensure implants last a long time ? 🦷 You can maintain stability for a long time with just proper basic maintenance. ✨ . ✅ Regular dental checkups are essential! ✅ Maintain cleanliness around the teeth with dental floss and interdental brushes ✅ Controlling smoking and drinking ✅ If you grind your teeth, wear a protective device. ✅ Avoid hard and chewy foods FAQ Q1. My implant is loose, but it doesn't hurt. I don't need to go in a hurry, right? ? A1. No! Since implants do not have nerves, there are many cases where there is no pain even if the bone erodes. Even if you do not feel pain, if you can feel movement, it means the problem has already started, so you should get a checkup as soon as possible. Q2. If the screw is loose, can't I fix it at home? ? A2. Absolutely not. The inside of the implant has a precise structure, so touching it without specialized instruments can damage the internal structure. If you visit a dental clinic, it can be easily re-tightened, so please leave it to the experts. conclusion Implant movement is a 'warning signal' from our body. Whether an implant lasts a lifetime depends on how it is maintained.

Conventional orthodontics corrects alignment by moving the position of the teeth, but There are limitations in addressing the shape or discoloration of the teeth themselves. There is. On the other hand, while veneers can beautifully change the shape and color, if your teeth are significantly misaligned, the amount of tooth reduction is inevitably increased. 📌 To solve this problem: Disadvantages of general orthodontics: long treatment period Disadvantages of standard laminates: The burden of tooth removal Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic's Answer: Compensating for two limitations to produce quick results Orthodontic laminates no see. 2.

정재욱 원장26.03.30Views 188Likes 2 [Health Column] Is Dental Resin Treatment Possible for a Broken Molar? A Guide from Costs to Treatment Standards ✨[11]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. When a tooth is slightly chipped or cracked, there is a question that many people ask first. as soon as Couldn't we just do it simply with resin? This is the part I am doing. Many people prefer resin due to its low cost and the ability to complete treatment on the same day, but in reality, its feasibility clearly depends on the condition of the teeth. Today, I will easily explain the criteria for resin treatment for fractured molars! 🦷 ( Fracture (It refers to a condition where part of the tooth is chipped or cracked!) 1. In what cases is dental resin treatment possible? ? 🦷 It is most effective when the extent of tooth damage is small and in the early stages. . Resin offers excellent aesthetics because it involves directly filling the tooth with a material similar in color. I mainly recommend this for the following situations. 📌 Fine cracks: In the case of a very thin crack on the surface of a tooth 📌 Small fracture: In cases where a small part of the tooth is chipped off 📌 Early tooth decay: When the rotten area is not large and can be filled immediately after removal 📌 Deficit Supplement: When part of the front teeth or molars is lost 💡 A word from the Director! If it is in the early stages, the biggest appeal of resin is that it allows for treatment while preserving natural teeth as much as possible! 2. Why are small cracks, which seem insignificant, dangerous? ? 🦷 Teeth lack the ability to heal themselves, so if left untreated, a small problem will eventually become a major one. . Even tiny cracks that are barely visible should be treated with caution if they send the following signals. ✔️ Instantly when chewing food A tingling sensation ✔️ The sensation when eating cold water or hot food A brief chill ✔️ Especially on specific areas The sensation of food getting stuck ⚠️ Be careful! The cracks in the teeth gradually deepen over time. If you cannot resolve it with resin in time Inlay, Crown, Root Canal Treatment Beyond the worst case implants You might have to do up to that. You should consider resin as a treatment to be done 'in advance when possible'. 3. What causes teeth to break? ? 🦷 Not only accidents but also trivial daily habits can make your teeth diseased. . Molars are where chewing force is concentrated, so even small damage can quickly escalate. Watch out for the following minor habits! ❄️ Bite the ice: The habit of crushing hard ice with teeth 🦀 Hard food: Enjoying tough and hard foods such as marinated crab and nuts 🦷 bad habit: Teeth grinding or unconsciously clenching teeth while sleeping 📉 Other factors: Areas weakened by cavities or natural weakening due to aging 4. How do dentists find invisible gold? ? 🦷 Even cracks that are difficult to identify with the naked eye can be detected through precise inspection. all. 🔹 Coloration Test: Confirm the location by letting the pigment seep into the crack. 🔹 Optical Inspection: It uses a special light reaction to locate areas where bacteria have proliferated or cracks have formed. 🔹 CT Scan: We provide the most accurate diagnosis by assessing the depth and extent of the gold in three dimensions. 5. Resin vs. Inlay/Crown, How to Choose ? 🦷 Resin is not necessarily the best option; you must choose the 'appropriate' treatment for your tooth condition. . division Resin treatment Inlay / Crown Applicable to small crack, minor fracture When the extent of damage is large or root canal treatment is required Key Features Fast treatment, low cost High durability and withstands strong chewing forces FAQ Q1. I've heard that resin fillings on molars fall off easily. Is that true? ? A1. Durability has improved compared to the past due to advancements in materials and adhesive technology. However, since molars are subjected to strong chewing forces, if the fracture is too extensive, inlays or crowns may last longer and remain strong than resin. Q2. I have a cracked tooth, but if it doesn't hurt, is it okay to just leave it alone? ? A2. Even if there is no pain, the crack continues to progress. By the time you feel pain, there is a high probability that the nerve has already been fractured, so getting a checkup and reinforcing it with resin when there are no symptoms is the most economical and safest method. conclusion Timing is key to dental health! Once damaged, teeth do not heal on their own. If you keep putting it off thinking, "This much should be fine," you might miss the opportunity to finish it with a simple resin treatment. ✨ Just remember this! Reduce the habit of eating hard foods and crunching on ice If You Grind Your Teeth, Use a Mouthguard Detecting abnormalities early through regular checkups If you experience even the slightest tooth sensitivity or tingling, we recommend that you get it checked at a nearby dental clinic before it is too late.

After middle age As skin elasticity decreases and tissues sag downwards The philtrum (the area between the nose and the upper lip) gradually lengthens. If the philtrum lengthens, the proportion of the lower face increases. Changed to a tired and aged appearance regardless of facial expression The overall feeling of lack of vitality has become stronger. Philtrum reduction surgery is a procedure that shortens the length of the philtrum and improves the ratio between the nose and lips by excising or repositioning the skin below the nose. In other words, by appropriately narrowing the increased distance between the nose and lips This is a method to restore balance to your facial proportions. It is not simply about cutting it short, but is closer to the concept of adjusting the ratio. What effects can I expect from philtrum reduction surgery? 🟢 Your lips will look naturally lifted, and your entire face will look more vibrant.

After the procedure Temporary swelling, bruising, tightness Symptoms may appear Recovery speed varies from person to person. Initially, lip movements may feel somewhat awkward. In most cases, it improves naturally over time. ⚠️ Excessive restraint Risk of unnatural appearance or scar exposure Excessive removal can lead to an unnatural appearance or exposed scars, so finding the right range that suits your face is key. It is absolutely not the case that 'the more you reduce it, the better the effect.' The precise range that fits my facial structure Setting it up is the surest way to reduce side effects. Who is it suitable for, and in what cases should one be cautious? 🟢 It is suitable if you are concerned about looking older due to a lengthened philtrum, but if it is already short, you should make a careful decision. ✔️ This is suitable for people like this. Middle-aged people concerned about looking older due to a long philtrum When the lips appear thin and droopy, giving a lifeless look ⚠️ In such cases, a cautious approach is necessary. If the philtrum is already short If you expect excessive anti-aging effects In cases where skin elasticity is severely reduced → Consider combining with other lifting procedures In cases where skin elasticity is severely reduced, combining philtrum reduction surgery with a lifting procedure is sometimes considered rather than performing the surgery alone. The same method is not the right answer for everyone. What is most suitable for my current facial condition It is important to understand this first. What you must know before philtrum reduction surgery? 🟢 Satisfaction is determined not by 'making it shorter,' but by 'harmony with the overall facial proportions.'

The more fully you understand it in advance, the greater your satisfaction with the result will be. 🙋 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q. Is the effect of philtrum reduction surgery still visible in middle age? A. Yes, in fact, since the philtrum lengthens after middle age, making one look older, the effect of improving proportions is often clearly visible.

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

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. .

Especially for those who were hesitant about procedures using thermal energy like Ulthera or Thermage, Non-heat lifting You might be interested in this. today Levinas Lifting What kind of procedure this is I will calmly summarize what changes you can expect and what you should check before the procedure. What is Levinas Lifting? 📚 This is a non-invasive lifting procedure that uses shockwaves instead of heat. Levinas Lifting is Extracorporeal shock wave It is a non-invasive lifting procedure using [it]. Unlike Ulthera and Thermage, which use thermal energy Shock waves in the form of sound waves are transmitted from the skin surface to the deep fascia. Its distinguishing feature is that it works. That is why it is also called by the nickname 'Pasha Lifting'. When shock waves are transmitted to skin tissue Physical stimulation of tissue This is applied, and in the process, compressed tissues are relaxed, lymphatic circulation is activated, and the regeneration of collagen and elastin can be induced. In addition, it is distinguished from existing procedures that target only specific layers in that energy is evenly delivered to multiple layers of the skin. For example, those who hesitated to undergo conventional lifting procedures due to concerns about heat or irritation may become interested in this treatment because “the principle itself is different.” ✔️My advice is, rather than looking only at the name of the procedure What kind of energy is used in the procedure? It is helpful to understand first before making a choice. What changes can you expect from Levinas Lifting? You can expect a more relaxed facial appearance along with changes in your appearance. There are two main changes that can be expected from a Levinas lift. First is External changes no see.

Rather than expecting immediate, dramatic changes with this procedure, those who receive the treatment "Feeling light on the face" , “I feel like it’s easier to make facial expressions” , Feeling less stiff in the jaw There are many cases where they tell me that. However, there is an important point here. Levinas Lifting is Rather than expecting a significant immediate lifting effect right after the procedure It is closer to a method of seeing gradual improvement over time and through repeated procedures. in other words, A feeling of sudden, dramatic change Rather than expecting results, it is more realistic to understand this as a procedure for consistently managing your skin condition. Are there any precautions or side effects for Levinas Lifting? It is non-invasive and does not use heat, but individual differences must be taken into account. Levinas Lifting is a non-invasive procedure and does not use thermal energy, so The recovery period is short and the risk of side effects is relatively low. no see. Temporary redness or mild swelling may occur after the procedure, but it is generally advised that these symptoms subside within a few days. but Just because the side effects are low does not mean that the same results will occur for everyone. The perceived effect or results after the procedure may vary depending on the individual's skin condition, degree of sagging, and state of tissue adhesion. Also, any procedure The practitioner's experience and proficiency , and understanding individual skin conditions is important. Therefore, rather than making an immediate decision without sufficient consultation, it is necessary to go through a process of assessing your current condition first and then establishing a plan. For example, even with the same concern about "sagging," the approach may differ depending on the cause. So rather than simply being a trendy procedure Whether it matches my condition It is more important to look at . Who can benefit from Levinas Lifting, and who should avoid it? 📚 It can be an option for those looking for a low-burden lifting procedure, but it is not suitable for everyone. The cases where Levinas lifting can be helpful are as follows. 🔸 For those who find thermal lifting procedures burdensome 🔸 Those who have experienced side effects from Ulthera, Thermage, etc. 🔸 People with jaw joint discomfort or facial muscle tension 🔸 Patients with remaining tissue adhesions after facial contouring or facelift surgery 🔸 People who frequently experience stiffness in the neck and shoulders and have poor facial circulation 🔸 For those who desire facial comfort and improved circulation rather than dramatic changes Conversely, more careful verification is required in the following cases. 🔸 In cases where the degree of sagging is severe 🔸 If you want an immediate and noticeable lifting effect 🔸 If you have a history of skin diseases or a specific constitution In such cases, consult thoroughly with a specialist before the procedure. The process of first determining suitability This is important. What should I know before the Levinas Lifting procedure? It is important to first identify the cause of my sagging and the treatment plan. If you are considering a Levinas lift, first today Degree and Causes of Skin Sagging It is good to understand this. This is because the approach may differ depending on whether the sagging is caused by myofascial release, fat reduction, or skeletal changes. Also with other lifting procedures Possibility of parallelism You can also check that. You can expect complementary effects when combined with heat-based lifting treatments such as Ulthera and Thermage, or with Botox and fillers. but The order and interval of parallel procedures must be determined by the specialist's judgment. The number of treatments and the intervals also vary depending on the individual's condition. Usually A method of performing the procedure multiple times at regular intervals rather than a single session. It is often managed in this way, and specific plans are adjusted after diagnosis. For example, rather than an approach of “I’ll just try it once and be done with it,” How a management plan tailored to my condition is established It is more realistic to confirm this during a consultation first.✨ FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1.

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

hello, Park Ji-hoon, Chief Director of Beautiful Korean Medicine Clinic no see. When looking in the mirror or taking a picture, If only one corner of the mouth looks droopy or, conversely, only one side looks up There are people I am concerned about. At first, it is easy to dismiss it as just a facial expression habit, but over time, you may notice that your overall facial impression looks different. Asymmetry of the corners of the mouth is It may not be just a problem with the visible shape of the lips. In this column Causes of Asymmetry in Corners of the Lip and Non-Surgical Treatment Approaches I will organize it step by step. 📘 What is the root cause of asymmetry in the corners of the mouth? 💡 Asymmetry of the corners of the mouth can be linked not only to the shape of the lips but also to issues with the balance between the upper and lower jaws. It is easy to think of asymmetry in the corners of the mouth as simply a problem around the mouth, but Misalignment of the skeletal positions of the maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw) This is often the root cause. 📌In other words, behind the visible difference in the mouth shape Problems with the balance of the facial central axis and the jaw It means that they can be together. In this case, rather than trying to correct only the corners of the mouth, An approach that examines the balance between the lower and upper jaws together This is important. To this end Facial bone correction By doing so, correct the basic balance and establish a foundation so that the position of the corners of the mouth does not remain a temporary change. It loses. for example, This may apply to cases where one side of the mouth appears more droopy than the other whenever a photo is taken, or where the left and right sides look different in height when smiling. 🔸 If you've been constantly bothered by only one corner of your mouth 🔸 Don't view it as just a simple facial expression habit 🔸 A perspective that also considers skeletal balance This may be necessary 📘 How do you treat lips with unnatural movement? If the movement of the muscles around your mouth has become unbalanced, you may need to go through a process of relearning natural movements. . If lip asymmetry occurs Nerve signals that move the muscles around the mouth can gradually become imbalanced. It is. At this time, it is not simply a matter of changing the shape, A direction that naturally retrains the movement itself. Access it as. ✔️To this end Low-frequency current stimulation Naturally relearn the movement of the levator labii superioris muscle by utilizing I will make you do it. ✔️Also High-frequency thermal stimulation By combining this to improve skin sagging around the corners of the mouth and elasticity We are raising it. Simply put, In cases where the movement of one corner of the mouth is awkward or one side rises less than the other when smiling A process of inducing more natural muscle movements It can be understood as. 🔸 Low-frequency electrical stimulation: Muscle movement relearning 🔸 High-frequency thermal stimulation: Improves sagging and elasticity around the corners of the mouth 🔸 Goal: More natural and defined mouth shape ⚠️ Since the treatment intensity or method of application may vary depending on the individual's condition, The process of first verifying the current asymmetric patterns and movement states This is important. 📘 How can muscle adhesions that cause the corners of the mouth to droop be resolved? 💡 If there is a strong downward pulling force on the corners of the mouth or adhesions, an approach to relax them may be necessary. . As a cause of the corners of the mouth drooping downward Muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward Pulling force of the Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) , and Thin under the skin Fascial layer (SMAS layer) There is a problem. In this case, rather than simply pulling it up from the outside, An approach that alleviates the causes of sagging together This can be seen as necessary. To this end Adhesion lysis Using Gently relaxes areas where muscles and fascia are adhered, It can alleviate the drooping movement of the corners of the mouth and simultaneously strengthen the Levator Labii Superioris (LLS). It is. Through this process A natural smile that isn't forced , and Forming a smooth front cheek line You can expect up to this point. For example, if one corner of the mouth appears to drop lower even when at rest, or if the shape of the mouth looks unnaturally bent when smiling, this approach may be considered. 🔸 Relieving the downward pull of the corners of the mouth 🔸 Relaxation of adhered areas 🔸 Helps create a natural smile line FAQ Q1. Are skeletal correction or adhesion lysis very painful? A1. The degree to which it is felt varies from person to person, but They explain that since it is performed using non-surgical methods, most people can undergo it without significant discomfort. In addition, adhesion lysis is It is possible to proceed with minimal pain by using a treatment tool of fine thickness. Q2. What does electrical stimulation therapy for neural relearning feel like? A2. Stimulation like low-frequency current gently tapping the muscles It may feel like... It is a process of awakening the movement of stiff muscles around the mouth, after the procedure The mouth feels much lighter You can receive. Q3. How many sessions does it usually take to see the effects of the treatment? A3. You can see immediate results from a single treatment, but , in order to completely change the misaligned skeletal and muscular memory, depending on the condition 3 to 10 treatment sessions are recommended. do. conclusion Losing a tooth may not simply mean the creation of a single empty space. As time passes Tilting of surrounding teeth, changes in occlusion, alveolar bone resorption This is because multiple changes can follow together, like this.

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. For example, it is difficult to bite off noodle dishes like cold noodles or spaghetti with your front teeth, and it may feel like your pronunciation is slurred. Restoring the bite of your front teeth through orthodontics can help you regain the ability to bite and chew food, and it can also help improve pronunciation. 🔸 Reference Points Rather than simply dismissing it by thinking, "My front teeth just don't quite touch," if you experience recurring discomfort during eating or pronunciation, it is advisable to have it checked from a functional perspective. 4. In cases of facial asymmetry where the facial center is misaligned If your facial midline is misaligned or appears crooked to one side, orthodontic treatment can be helpful. The facial midline does not align, or It looks twisted to one side Facial asymmetry It can also be a candidate for orthodontic treatment. Of course, in cases where the disharmony of the skeleton itself is very severe Surgery may be necessary. However, in many cases, orthodontic treatment alone can alleviate the degree of asymmetry and yield satisfactory results. If your mouth or jaw looks crooked to one side when you look in the mirror, If the center of your face always feels awkward in photos, you might want to check it at least once. 🔸 Reference Points Rather than viewing asymmetry simply as “is it because only one side is used more?”, An approach that examines the bite and the facial midline together is necessary. FAQ Q1. How long does orthodontic treatment take? A1. It depends on the condition, but for a short period 4~6 months , usually One and a half to two years or more It takes time. In order to move teeth healthily Weak and persistent power This is because it is necessary. Q2. If I get braces for a protruding mouth, can my mouth look too deeply recessed? A2. The recent direction of orthodontics is naturalness It is close to. Rather than simply injecting a large amount, it is important to find a natural placement by considering the individual patient's facial harmony. Q3. What precautions should be taken during orthodontic treatment? A3. The most important thing is Oral hygiene management and Adhere to the appointment schedule no see. Food particles can easily get stuck around the device, so it must be cleaned thoroughly. Also, caution is required as hard or chewy foods can cause the device to detach.

정재욱 원장26.03.09Views 399Likes 4 [Health Column] Is Double Jaw Surgery Really Necessary for Long Faces and Chin Reshaping? Solutions Based on Cause[4]
hello. Dr. Hyunwoo Cho, Director of 3D Plastic Surgery no see. Because it makes your face look long Have you ever considered double jaw surgery? In fact, when I consult with people, many of them ask, “Is double jaw surgery the answer for a long face?” but When it comes to long face plastic surgery, it is most important to first determine the cause of the long face. Because the surgical method needed can be completely different depending on which part of the face appears longer. today In what cases is long face/long chin surgery necessary, and when is bimaxillary surgery necessary? Let me explain with a real-life example. ✨ How do you judge a long face? ? 📌 Face length is determined by the 'ratio of thirds' . The human face can be broadly divided into three parts. ✔️ Upper face: Forehead ~ eyebrows ✔️ Midface: Eyebrows ~ tip of nose ✔️ Lower face: Tip of nose ~ tip of chin Usually these three sections A natural and harmonious face with balanced proportions It appears to be. But if one part of this gets too long, An impression that makes the entire face look longer This can happen. for example If the distance from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose is long → A face with a long midface If the distance from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin is long → A face with a long lower face like Depending on where you are looking, the solution will vary. 📌 So, in long face plastic surgery, An accurate diagnosis of where the length appears to be long is most important. If I have a long face, do I absolutely need double jaw surgery? ? 📌 If the midface is long, double jaw surgery may be necessary. . From eyebrow to tip of nose If the midface is long In the figure below, marked in red maxilla Reduce the length of Double jaw surgery There are times when this is necessary. Especially when you laugh If you see a lot of teeth When the gums are excessively exposed The position and length of the upper jaw can have an effect. But there is an important point. Through double jaw surgery Bone length can be reduced, but There are limits to changing the position of the nose or the soft tissue itself. in other words ✔ Bone length may decrease ✔ The apparent mid-face length may not change significantly. so Not all long faces are candidates for bimaxillary surgery. ⚠️ Accurate judgment requires professional diagnosis. What kind of surgery is done to make the chin look longer? ? 📌 If the lower face is long, it can be improved with contouring surgery. . From the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin A face with a long lower face If so It can be improved with relatively simple contouring surgery. A typical method is Long curve resection, chin surgery no see. If the jawbone is greatly developed Reduce chin length Balance the lower jaw It can help alleviate the feeling of your face looking longer. As needed Perform square jaw surgery together underneath It can help create more natural facial proportions. How would actual long chin patient cases differ? ? 📌 This is a case where the facial proportions were improved by adjusting the balance between the chin length and the lower jaw. . From the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin Haan-myeon Long face with a long beak If so It can be improved with relatively simple contouring surgery. One patient was admitted to the hospital Considering double jaw surgery You were doing it. But the CT scan results The front chin is long The lower jaw was widely developed. In this case ✔ Long curve resection ✔ Lower jaw bone reduction (LBO) Through Direction to reduce the overall length of the lower jaw The surgery was performed. If you check the CT after surgery, The length of the front chin is reduced As the lower jaw becomes more balanced, I could see that the impression that the face was long had been greatly alleviated. 📌 It's not just about reducing the length It is important to consider both facial proportions and balance. What is the most important thing in long face surgery? ? 📌 What's more important than face length is 'proportion' . Many people Make your chin shorter, smaller I think it will be pretty if you make it. But the face eye, nose, chin, Each element It's important to strike a balance. for example Make the chin shorter unconditionally If you cut the bone like in a typical square jaw surgery, Rather, it may break the facial proportions. In this case ⚠️ If your face looks awkward ⚠️ In some cases, it may appear longer than before surgery. so In long face surgery, design that takes proportions into account is key. When we look at patients who come to check their progress after surgery, Than the face changed I feel like my expression has brightened There are many times when I receive it. Changes in appearance are important, but ✔ Confidence ✔ Change in facial expression There are also cases where you feel positive changes in the same area. Seeing this kind of sight makes me feel rewarded as a medical professional. 😊 FAQ ❓ Q1. Can a secondary angle develop after square jaw surgery? ? A1. If you perform square jaw surgery without chin surgery, an angle may develop at the starting point of the resection. If the secondary angle is not severe, it can be corrected with simple shaving. In severe cases, additional surgery may be required along with chin surgery. Q2. Can a long mid-face be corrected with contouring surgery? ? A2. In cases where the midface is long, bimaxillary surgery is often more effective. However, if there is no dental malocclusion and bimaxillary surgery is too risky, procedures such as philtrum reduction surgery may be considered. A more accurate assessment is best made through consultation following a CT scan. Q3. Can contouring surgery shave as much bone as desired? ? A3. Contouring surgery is not a procedure that allows you to freely shape the area as desired. The extent of resection is limited by the thickness of the cheekbones and the location of the mandibular nerve. Conclusion 🧾 In long face and long chin plastic surgery The most important thing is an accurate diagnosis. Because my face looks long ✔ It is not always necessary to have double jaw surgery ✔ It is not necessary to necessarily reduce the chin. 📌 Which part of the face makes it look longer? 📌 How to balance the overall proportions of the face These two things must be considered together. So if you are considering surgery ✨ First, you need to find the method that is right for you through a CT scan and accurate consultation. Also, rather than just listening to one opinion, It is recommended that you seek consultation from several hospitals and make a careful decision. 3D plastic surgery CEO Cho Hyun-woo Graduated from Yonsei University College of Medicine Yonsei University Graduate School, Master of Medicine Severance Hospital plastic surgery specialist Severance Hospital Plastic Surgery Visiting Professor Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery regular member Korean Society of Craniofacial Plastic Surgeons regular member International Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ISAPS) member Regular member of the Korean Society for Surgery of the Hand Korean Association of Plastic Surgeons regular member Executive Director of the Minimally Invasive Plastic Surgery Research Association Director of Hyun 3D Plastic Surgery Clinic Experience in facial contouring treatment 21 year

hello, Garnet Plastic Surgery Director Baek In-su no see. As I entered middle age I hear people say, “My face looks wider from the side” or “My cheekbones look more prominent.” This change is often called a "peanut face." 🥜 It's not just a change that comes from losing weight. Aging of facial structure It often appears as it progresses together. today Facial shape restoration through PRP fat grafting About Let's summarize the key points you should know. ✨ Why do middle-aged people develop a 'peanut face'? 🟢 In middle-aged faces, changes in fat, ligaments, and skin occur simultaneously. The face as a whole in youth Uniform volume and elasticity while maintaining soft Egg-shaped outline It is often seen. However, after middle age, the following changes occur simultaneously: 🔸 Midfacial fat atrophy 🔸 Volume reduction in the center of the cheek and under the cheekbones 🔸 Lower face sagging due to ligament laxity 🔸 Loss of skin elasticity As these changes overlap, ✔ The crown and the center of the ball are sunken ✔ The clown is relatively prominent ✔ The impression that the face is spread apart from side to side in other words, Peanut-shaped face shape may appear. 📌 Important point! This change is not simply due to weight changes. As a result of complex changes in facial structure That is the point. What effects can I expect from PRP fat grafting? 🟢Helps complement lost volume and create soft facial contours. PRP fat grafting is a procedure that uses PRP (platelet-rich plasma) together with your own fat to supplement facial volume. Here are some changes you can expect when improving a middle-aged peanut-shaped face with PRP fat grafting: 🔸 Relieves sunken cheeks and forehead 🔸 Clown relief buffer 🔸 Restoring soft, oval contours 🔸 Relieves tired and sharp facial expressions 🔸 Improves skin texture and fine wrinkles (auxiliary effect) But there is one important point. ⚠️ In case of severe sagging Volume supplementation alone may not provide sufficient improvement. In this case Consider a concurrent strategy with lifting treatment. You can expect more natural results. What is the most important thing in PRP fat grafting? 🟢The key is not to put in too much, but to put in correctly. A middle-aged face A condition in which skin elasticity and supporting ligaments are weakened no see. So if you overfill the area under the cheekbones or cheekbones, ⚠️ Makes your face look bigger ⚠️ Sagging is more noticeable ⚠️ A peanut-shaped face can be further emphasized. So there is one important principle. ✔ It's better to put it in accurately than to put in a lot Especially in middle-aged faces 🔸 Restore central volume 🔸 Suppress excessive outer volume This balance is important. Why does it matter how deep you put the fat? 🟢 Layer selection determines natural results. In PRP fat grafting, Fat Which layer do you inject into? is very important. The balance between the following two layers is particularly important. ✔ Deep plane above the periosteum → Structural volume support role ✔ Subcutaneous layer → Naturally flowing volume formation if ⚠️ If you inject only a shallow layer → it may look bumpy ⚠️ If only the deep layer is injected → artificial protrusion may occur. so Layer-by-layer balanced injection This is an important point. Is PRP fat grafting always a safe procedure? 🟢Because the facial area has complex blood vessels, skill is important. On the face The vascular structure is very complexly distributed It is done. The following areas in particular require attention: 🔸 Clown lower body 🔸 False face area 🔸 Temple area These areas are Because there is a risk of vascular damage The surgeon's anatomical understanding and experience are important. 📌 Common misconceptions ❌ “Mixing PRP is absolutely safe.” → Actual safety is Anatomical proficiency of the surgeon It depends on. Is it better to complete PRP fat grafting in one session? 🟢A step-by-step approach may look more natural on a middle-aged face. In middle-aged faces, the following variables exist: 🔸 Fat engraftment rate 🔸 Difference in skin elasticity 🔸 Individual differences in absorption rate So I forced myself to do it all at once Overcorrection Rather than doing ✔ Restore primary structure ✔ Secondary fine-tuning if necessary Same as Step-by-step approach strategy This may lead to more natural results. What should I check before the procedure? 🟢When choosing a hospital, it is important to consider how they analyze and design your facial structure. Here are some factors to consider when considering a procedure: 🔸 Understanding facial anatomy 🔸 Layer-by-layer injection experience 🔸 A design philosophy that avoids overcorrection 🔸 Whether or not an emergency response system is in place You may also want to refer to the following checklist: ✔ How to prepare PRP ✔ Fat refining process ✔ Whether only one treatment is recommended ✔ Whether or not to explain the necessity of concurrent lifting 📌 Important Points What's more important than cost How to analyze and design facial structure no see. FAQ Q1. What causes a peanut-shaped face in middle age? A1. It is a structural aging phenomenon that occurs through the combined effects of atrophy of the temples and mid-face fat, relaxation of the retaining ligaments, and sagging of the lower face. Q2. Is improvement possible with PRP fat grafting alone? A2. If sagging is the main cause, it may help, but if the sagging is severe, a lifting treatment may be considered as well. Q3. Will adding more fat produce better results? A3. No. Excessive volume injection can actually make the face appear larger or unnatural, so precise placement and balance are important. Conclusion ✨ ✔ Middle-aged peanut-shaped face Structural aging, not just lack of volume no see. ✔ PRP fat grafting A method of restoring facial shape This could be it. But the key that determines the outcome is ✨ Not putting in too much, but putting in just the right amount ✨ Central volume restoration + lateral resection ✨ Balanced design considering deflection no see. Because facial structure and aging rate vary from person to person, It is important to determine the right method through accurate diagnosis and consultation.
