hello, Director Jo Byeong-ju of Shine Orthodontics no see. 👋 There are certain questions that people considering orthodontic treatment ask most frequently in the consultation room. These are inquiries mixed with concern, such as, "Do I really have to have teeth extracted?" and "Can a protruding mouth be corrected with non-extraction orthodontics?" There is a lot of information on the internet claiming that non-extraction is always better or that extraction drastically changes one's face, which further confuses patients. However, actual orthodontic treatment is not determined solely by whether or not to extract a tooth, Comprehensive diagnosis of tooth alignment, facial shape, degree of space shortage, etc. You must do it. In this column, I will explain the true differences between extraction and non-extraction orthodontics and provide clear selection criteria in an easy-to-understand manner. I hope this helps you find the right treatment direction for you! ✨ 1️⃣ What is the most important key point regarding tooth extraction versus non-extraction in orthodontic treatment? 📐 The essence that determines the success or failure of orthodontic treatment lies in 'securing space' to move the teeth. For both extraction and non-extraction orthodontics, the key to the treatment outcome is how much space can be secured to properly align the teeth. This is because only when adequate space is secured in our mouth can we use it to push a protruding mouth inward and straighten crookedly overlapping extra teeth. Generally, when performing extraction orthodontics Premolars (small molars) with a width of about 7 to 8 mm You will gain that much extra space by extracting the tooth. On the other hand, with the recent development of various orthodontic devices non-extraction By utilizing every possible means to the fullest extent through orthodontics, it has become possible to create space comparable to that of tooth extraction. Representative techniques for creating space without tooth extraction include Arch expansion (3~4mm) , Interdental reduction/IPR (3~4mm) , Posterior movement of molars (3~4mm) There are methods available, and by combining all of them, it is possible to secure about 9mm of usable space. < Case of Posterior Molar Movement > 📍 Example: If the space for tooth alignment is too narrow, resulting in severe crowding or a situation where a protruding mouth needs to be moved back significantly, securing space through premolar extraction can be a clear solution. However, if conditions allow for the precise application of non-extraction techniques, meaningful space can be achieved without extracting teeth. 📌 "Rather than relying solely on extreme online reviews and insisting on a specific method, it is essential to first undergo a precise dental diagnosis to determine the actual amount of space missing." 2️⃣ Can non-extraction space creation methods be applied equally to all patients? 📐 The three techniques for creating space without tooth extraction must be applied strictly and selectively based on the patient's oral and jawbone structure. The three methods for creating space for tooth movement through non-extraction orthodontics are excellent alternatives, but unfortunately, they cannot be unconditionally applied to all patients. This is because each patient has different anatomical characteristics. ① Expansion of the dental arch : This method is actually Limited use only for patients with a narrow jaw width You must do it. If this procedure is performed excessively on a patient with a normal jaw width solely for the purpose of widening the space, the overall occlusion may collapse or long-term stability after treatment may be significantly compromised. ② Interdental Reduction (IPR) : The side of the tooth Finely trim by 0.2~0.5mm It is a method of gathering the entire gap space. Generally, if the procedure is performed within 0.5mm per area, there are no problems with dental health, and it is advantageous to distribute the work evenly across multiple tooth surfaces rather than grinding down a large portion of a single tooth. If performed to the maximum extent on all areas, approximately 3mm of space can be obtained per side. ③ Posterior movement of molars This is a technique that creates space in the front by pushing the entire dentition backward. The most important thing here is Does there actually exist space within the bone for the molars to move backward? no see. In particular, a precise 3D diagnosis must be performed beforehand to determine if there is available space in the posterior area of the mandible (lower jaw). 📍 Example: If posterior movement is forcibly attempted on a patient who has absolutely no space to push the molars back due to structural limitations of the lower jawbone, the teeth may not move properly or side effects may occur. 📌 It is essential to receive a precise diagnosis from an orthodontist to determine whether arch expansion is necessary, or if the tooth structure allows for the safe application of interproximal reduction or posterior movement. 3️⃣ If you are on the borderline between extraction and non-extraction, what criteria should you use to make a decision? 📐 For borderline patients with a space shortage of 4 to 7 mm, the decision is made by comprehensively considering tooth shape, caries activity, type of appliance, and the patient's pain sensitivity. Based on the results of a precise examination, if the required space is significantly lacking by more than 9mm on each side, extraction is easily determined, while if it is slightly lacking by 4mm or less, non-extraction is recommended. The problem lies with 'borderline patients' who have a space deficiency of 4 to 7 mm. In this case, since both methods are possible, you must use the following five detailed criteria as a guide. ① Shape of the teeth: If the shape is close to a triangle, non-extraction treatment is much more advantageous. do. This is because it is shaped to fully utilize Interproximal Reduction (IPR), and the reduction can naturally reduce the 'black triangle,' the empty space between teeth. ② Number of prosthetics and dental caries (cavity) activity: If you have a lot of dental prosthetics in your mouth or an environment where cavities form easily, extraction orthodontics is actually better. This is because it is difficult to adequately perform interdental reduction, which involves finely grinding the sides of the teeth, in such an oral condition. ③ Type of calibration device used: Invisalign achieves arch expansion much faster, but traditional brackets (wire devices) perform molar posterior movement better. do. Therefore, even for patients who appeared capable of non-extraction posterior movement based on brackets, insisting on using Invisalign may actually lead to a situation where extraction becomes necessary. ④ Anatomical spatial limits: Regardless of whether wisdom teeth are extracted, it is necessary to determine how much bone space remains behind the molars that can actually be moved, and whether the jawbone is capable of accommodating arch expansion. If both non-extraction pathways are structurally blocked, it is advisable to choose extraction for a clean result. ⑤ Discomfort and pain felt by the patient: This is a point that many people misunderstand, In fact, the tooth extraction treatment itself is almost painless. In fact, arch expansion devices or posterior movement devices used in non-extraction orthodontics often cause greater discomfort and pain in the mouth. Therefore, if you prefer a slightly more comfortable and less cumbersome process during the orthodontic treatment period, we recommend tooth extraction. 📍 Example: If a borderline patient with square-shaped teeth and significant traces of cavity treatment finds it difficult to tolerate the pain and foreign body sensation of complex non-extraction devices, choosing to extract premolars rather than forcing a non-extraction procedure may be advantageous in terms of both the treatment process and the outcome. 📌 "When you are teetering on the edge, that is precisely when in-depth communication with medical staff truly shines. Please share your lifestyle and pain tendencies with the medical team in detail." 🔍 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Doesn't interproximal reduction (IPR) cause significant tooth sensitivity during non-extraction orthodontics? A1. No, you don't need to worry too much. 🙅♂️ Common tooth sensitivity usually occurs when the neck of the tooth (cervical area) is worn down. During interdental reduction, the area that is ground down very finely is the outermost 'proximal enamel' region of the tooth, where sensory nerves are not distributed. Since the amount removed is also very minimal, you do not need to worry about side effects such as sensitivity. However, if not performed precisely, food particles can get trapped between the teeth, creating an environment where cavities (dental caries) are likely to develop, so the procedure must be performed accurately by a skilled specialist. Q2. After having wisdom teeth extracted, will space naturally form to push the molars back? A2. It is half right and half wrong. 💡 When extracting a wisdom tooth that has erupted straight into the mouth, available space is created to push the molars backward by utilizing that opening. However, for impacted wisdom teeth that are completely buried in the gum bone, simply extracting them does not automatically create space for the tooth to move. In this case, the limit of the practically usable posterior space is determined by the anatomical boundary between the soft tissue and bone behind the tooth, rather than the presence or absence of wisdom teeth. 📋 Conclusion Today, we have taken a detailed look at the key criteria for tooth extraction versus non-extraction, which is the biggest concern for those facing orthodontic treatment. Having operated an orthodontic clinic in Nowon for a long time and personally treated countless cases, there are certainly tricky cases where even I, as an expert, agonize deeply over which approach—extraction or non-extraction—will bring the most perfect results to the patient. This is because orthodontic treatment is a precise medical field that must encompass not only visible gaps between teeth but also the condition of the gums, the overall treatment duration, changes in facial shape, and even the anatomical limitations imposed by the appliance. ⚠️ Please make sure to remember this! 📌 Rather than blindly deciding on a treatment method based solely on rumors such as "non-extraction is better" or "extraction is faster," the first step is to thoroughly examine your precise diagnostic condition. 📌 The wise choice at the borderline may vary depending on the shape of your teeth (whether they are triangular), the activity of cavities, and your sensitivity to pain. Above all, the most important key to success is to accurately align your desired aesthetic and functional goals through constant communication with medical professionals, and for the doctor and patient to move forward step by step while looking toward the same goal. As this is a significant journey that determines your smile and dental health for a lifetime, I sincerely hope you find a trustworthy orthodontist to discover the right solution that fits your oral structure perfectly. 🦷 Shine Orthodontics Director Cho Byeong-ju Graduated from Seoul National University Graduate School of Dentistry / Doctor of Dental Surgery Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary's Hospital Department of Orthodontics Intern / Resident Graduated from Catholic University of Korea Graduate School of Medicine with a minor in Plastic Surgery / Master of Medicine Visiting Professor, Department of Orthodontics, Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary's Hospital Visiting Professor at CHA University Gangnam Hospital Invisalign Official Faculty Regular member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists (KAO) Member of the Korean Society of Clinical Orthodontists (KSO) 2019/2020/2021/2022 Awarded the Excellent Case Presentation by the Korean Association of Orthodontists
Hello, this is Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic. Chief Director Jeong Jae-wook It is. ✨ 🤔 "Will it really get dramatically white like in the commercials?" "I heard that dental whitening makes teeth very sensitive. Won't it damage my teeth?" If you are considering teeth whitening, you have probably had this concern at least once. If you search online, countless products flood the market, ranging from DIY whitening kits to whitening toothpaste, but a question is bound to linger in the back of your mind. 📱 In today's column, I will transparently explain the principles behind how teeth whitening works and clarify common misconceptions based on scientific evidence. 🔍 So why do our teeth change color, and how can they become white again? 👇 1️⃣ Why do teeth turn yellow, and how do they become white? 👋 It is a process that safely removes accumulated stains through the oxidizing action of hydrogen peroxide, rather than grinding down the teeth. ✨ The outer surface of our teeth is transparent Enamel It is surrounded by, and inside it has a yellowish tint Dentin There is. 🦷 If you frequently consume coffee, wine, or curry, or if you smoke, pigments seep into the tiny pores on the tooth surface, causing your teeth to turn yellow. ☕🍷 Also, as you age, the outer enamel wears down and thins, allowing the yellow dentin underneath to show through, causing the teeth to turn yellow. 👵 💡 Dental teeth whitening is Oxidation action of hydrogen peroxide Uses. The principle is that the whitening agent penetrates the teeth, breaks down the bonds of stained pigments, and decomposes them into water and oxygen to restore the original bright and white tooth color. 👍 2️⃣ Professional Dental Whitening vs. At-Home Whitening: What Are the Differences in Effectiveness? 👋 While over-the-counter products are good for prevention and maintenance, dental whitening is effective for completely brightening deeply discolored teeth. 🎯 Many people first look for over-the-counter DIY whitening products to save money, but there is a decisive difference from dental whitening in terms of 'concentration and equipment.' ⚡ Commercial whitening toothpastes or DIY whitening products can help gradually 'prevent' staining or manage minor discoloration. However, there are clear limitations to restoring deeply discolored teeth to their natural bright color. ⚠️ 📊 Professional Whitening vs. At-Home Whitening: A Comparison at a Glance division Professional Dental Whitening 🏥 Home Care Self-Whitening 🏡 Whitening agent concentration High concentration of hydrogen peroxide according to pharmaceutical standards ( About 15% or more ) use Low concentration for safety ( 3% or less Restrict to ) Special beam Use of special LED light equipment to maximize whitening effects No equipment (or minimal LED) Treatment period Significant results in just 1-2 visits (1-2 hours per day) You must use it consistently every day for several weeks to several months. safety Prevent gum burns and pain by applying a gum protectant Medication may come into contact with the gums and cause inflammation or pain. 📌 If you want fast and 확실 high-concentration whitening results, professional dental whitening can be the answer. ✨ 3️⃣ Is the 'tooth sensitivity' felt after whitening a sign that your teeth are damaged? 👋 It is not a side effect caused by your teeth being worn away, but a natural reaction resulting from stimulation of the pathway leading to the nerve. 😌 One of the biggest reasons people hesitate to whiten their teeth is because of reviews stating that it causes tooth sensitivity. 😢 The sensitivity you experience during or after teeth whitening is not caused by damaged or broken teeth. During the process in which whitening agents break down pigments inside the teeth, the tiny passageways leading to the nerves inside the teeth Ivory tube This is a natural bodily reaction that occurs in response to temporary stimulation. ⚡ 📌 When does the tooth sensitivity go away? This symptom usually occurs after the procedure Within 24 to 48 hours It is completely extinguished. At the dental clinic, we thoroughly apply a gum protectant before the procedure and perform a special treatment to alleviate sensitivity afterward, so you do not need to be overly afraid of pain. 4️⃣ What is the Golden Rule for keeping teeth white for a long time? 👋 Since teeth are prone to absorbing pigment immediately after whitening, thorough care for the first two days after the procedure is crucial. ⚠️ To maintain white and clean teeth achieved through professional whitening for a long time, post-procedure care is of the utmost importance. 🌟 Please make sure to remember the following two rules. 🔸 Avoid colored foods for two days: After the procedure You must avoid foods with strong coloring, such as coffee, green tea, curry, wine, and jajangmyeon, as well as smoking, for at least 48 hours. ❌☕ 🔸 Use a straw and brush your teeth immediately: It is recommended to use a straw when drinking coffee or beverages to avoid direct contact with your teeth, and you should rinse your mouth with water or brush your teeth immediately after eating. 🥤🪥 💬 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. How long does the teeth whitening effect last? Does it last a lifetime? A1. Unfortunately, teeth whitening is not permanent. 😢 Even after whitening, teeth gradually become stained again over time because we consume coffee, tea, food, etc. every day. It varies depending on individual dietary habits and management status, but usually About 6 months to 1 year Periodic touch-ups are necessary to maintain the effects and consistently keep your teeth bright and white. 🗓️ Q2. Are whitening toothpastes or self-whitening patches effective? A2. Due to legal safety standards, commercially available products have a relatively low concentration of hydrogen peroxide, a key whitening ingredient ( 3% or less ) is limited. Therefore, there are limitations to making teeth that have already turned yellow noticeably whiter, and it is mainly suitable for use for 'maintenance and prevention' purposes after dental whitening. 🧼 If you desire safe and guaranteed results in a short period, we recommend professional dental whitening using high-concentration whitening agents approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and special light. ✨ Q3. Does scaling make teeth whiter? How is it different from teeth whitening? A3. The two procedures have completely different purposes and principles! 🙅♂️ Scaling: It is a 'cleaning' concept that removes hard stones (tartar) and coarse plaque attached to the surface of the teeth. For those with severe tobacco tar or external staining, teeth may temporarily appear clearer after scaling, but it cannot change the natural color of the teeth themselves to a brighter shade. Teeth Whitening: This is a 'whitening' treatment that bleaches the pigment molecules themselves, which have penetrated deep into the microscopic pores on the tooth surface. ✨ Q4. Can I get teeth whitening even if I have weak gums or cavities? A4. You must complete cavity and gum treatments first before proceeding with whitening! ⚠️ High-concentration whitening agents can cause severe pain and nerve irritation if applied to cracked teeth, cavities, or severely receding gums that expose the tooth roots. 💥 Therefore, before undergoing a whitening procedure, it is of the utmost importance to first receive an oral examination from experienced medical professionals and proceed only after safety has been ensured. 🩺 🎯 Conclusion: Finding the Perfect Whitening Plan for You Teeth whitening is not permanent, and since the teeth gradually return to their original shade over time due to diet and aging, on average 6 months to 1 year You need to get periodic touch-ups to maintain a bright smile. 🗓️ If you find periodic whitening treatments and tooth sensitivity burdensome, our clinic's unique permanent teeth whitening and cosmetic solution is Airnate Achieving permanent radiance without worrying about discoloration with just a single treatment is also a great alternative. ✨ Since everyone has different natural tooth thickness and color, it is important to find a brightness that blends naturally with your skin tone rather than aiming for teeth as white as celebrities. 👩🦰👨 For satisfactory and safe whitening results, first consult closely with experienced medical staff to plan a whitening plan that is perfect for you! 🩺 💡 The most natural and safe smile starts with accurately knowing the condition of your teeth.

Orthodontic treatment means more than just choosing a device. Just as construction costs vary depending on the ground conditions when building a structure, the difficulty of orthodontic treatment is determined by each patient's unique gum bone condition and tooth root length. 🔸 Key Points ✔️ Intrinsic difficulty of the case: The higher the difficulty of the case, the higher the cost. ⚠️ Risk of re-correction: If you only look for the cheapest option, your teeth may not move properly, and you might end up having to pay more for retreatment! 📌 Orthodontic treatment is not just a simple expense Medical practice The price difference is rooted in the medical staff's expertise and sense of responsibility. 2️⃣ How does the cost vary depending on which orthodontic device is selected? ✨ The price structure varies depending on the degree of exposure of the device, the manufacturing method, and the technical expertise involved. Orthodontic appliances are 'tools' used to move teeth. The type of tool used is a major factor in determining the cost. 🛠️ 🔹 labial correction — Attached to the outer surface of the teeth, the most popular and reasonable option 👍 🔹 Lingual braces — Attached to the inner surface of the tooth; cost 1.5 to 2 times higher due to advanced technology and custom fabrication. 🔹 Clear braces (Invisalign) — Detachable, aesthetically pleasing, includes digital simulation + global license fees 🔹 Why is lingual braces expensive? 🤫 Since the wire must be adjusted in the narrow space inside the tooth High level of proficiency of medical staff And a long treatment time is required. 🔹 Why is Invisalign expensive? 💻 Computer simulations are conducted based on 3D digital scan data, and of state-of-the-art materials Precision manufacturing of transparent molds This is because... ⚠️ Rather than the type of device The doctor's skill level and precision of diagnosis It has a greater impact on the treatment results. 3️⃣ What are the 3 criteria for finding the perfect orthodontic treatment for me? ✨ An expensive device is not necessarily the answer.

'sunlight' no see! ☀️ Synthesized in the body through sunlight Vitamin D Did you know that it plays an incredibly important role in maintaining dental health? 🔑 1. How does Vitamin D strengthen the tooth barrier? 👋 Vitamin D plays a crucial role in regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, thereby filling the bone density of teeth and gums! 🔹 Why does the tooth structure itself weaken? The enamel, the outermost layer of the tooth, and the dentin inside are mostly calcium crystals It consists of. If there is a deficiency of vitamin D in the body, calcium cannot be properly delivered to the teeth The tooth structure itself may not be strong and could become weak. 😢 🔸 The Secret of Natural Tooth Barrier In particular, Vitamin D helps the teeth's self-healing system. Cathelicidin class Defensin It promotes the production of an antimicrobial peptide called! 🚀 These ingredients directly fight oral bacteria that cause cavities, inhibit tooth decay, and boost oral immunity. Natural defense mechanism It plays a role. ✨ 📌 The 4 Key Functions of Vitamin D 🔸 Enamel strengthening It forms a strong outer layer of the tooth to safely protect it from acidic bacterial attacks. 🛡️ 🔸 Maintaining tooth bone density It maintains the health of the alveolar bone (gum bone) that supports the teeth, preventing them from becoming loose or falling out. 🦷 🔸 Natural antibiotic production It produces antimicrobial peptides that inhibit harmful bacteria in the oral cavity, directly blocking the proliferation of cavity-causing bacteria. 🦠 🔸 Reduced inflammation levels It regulates the inflammatory response of the gums, providing a reliable barrier against conditions like periodontitis spreading into systemic diseases. 💡 Director's One-line Advice: The fundamental strength of invisible internal dental health is determined by Vitamin D. 2. Does a lack of sunlight really increase the incidence of cavities? ☀️ The risk of developing cavities can jump significantly in environments with a lot of indoor activity and insufficient sunlight. 🔹 'Soft teeth' easily pierced by bacterial attacks actually People who live in areas with little sunlight or spend most of their time indoors have a higher incidence of tooth decay. There are statistical results for that. 😮 This is because low vitamin D levels due to insufficient sunlight weaken the calcification of teeth. Consequently, they become easily punctured by bacterial attacks. Weak and 'soft teeth' It ends up becoming that. 🩹 🔸 Risks by Age 👶 Growing children Vitamin D deficiency during this period prevents teeth from growing properly Dental hypoplasia It can lead to... so it is very fatal. 👵 adult : weakens the gum bone that supports the teeth Causes that accelerate periodontal disease This becomes 💡 Director's One-line Advice: A habit of getting about 15 to 20 minutes of sunlight a day benefits not only your overall health but also has the same effect as taking a natural 'dental supplement'! 💊 3. Why is oral health a mirror of overall health? The oral cavity is the first gateway to the inside of our body and a mirror reflecting the body's overall immunity. 🔹 The Effects of Oral Microbiome Imbalance The condition of oral health does not simply end with problems inside the mouth. scary systemic health issues such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes There is also a very deep connection.

If Vitamin D plays the role of 'strengthening the interior' by making teeth strong from the inside, dental checkups are the process of 'managing the exterior' by removing external contamination and plaque. 💡 Director's One-line Advice: Complete the solid foundation built by the sunlight with professional care at the dental clinic! 🩺 💬 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. It's hard to go outside because of the fine dust. Can I substitute sunlight with a Vitamin D supplement? 🤔 A1. Yes, if outdoor activities are difficult for you, taking Vitamin D supplements is a very good alternative! However, when choosing nutritional supplements, choose those with a high absorption rate in the body Vitamin D3 It is a good idea to make sure to check the shape.

I received a sleep implant surgery from Dr. Kim Soo-min, and I will continue coming here even if I have to remove all my teeth. I consulted with a famous dental clinic in Gangnam and made my final decision.
My dad is older and has dental issues, so I searched for a hospital where we could have the surgery done on the same day. The facilities were excellent, and all the staff were very kind!

I started my implant treatment, and although I have five more sessions to go, the anesthesia was administered without any pain, so I realized I was just worried for no reason about the dental clinic. The staff members were also kind, and the clinic is spacious and clean. As I continued my treatment,
I went for an orthodontic consultation and registered for braces right away. While they were examining me, I had to keep my mouth open, and my mouth's appearance was all displayed on the screen. I felt embarrassed yet fascinated, hehe. Thank you for explaining the orthodontic procedure in detail.
