What to do if you correct your teeth and gums
There are various interdental brushes available in the market, and you can use a relatively thin interdental brush to place it on the adjacent surface of the tooth to clean up the food debris and soft scale on the adjacent side of the tooth neck, and then brush the tooth. It is recommended to brush your teeth carefully after each meal and before going to bed to brush the food debris and soft scale in the gingival sulcus. Then drop iodine glycerin into the swollen and inflamed gingival sulcus, iodine glycerin can help control inflammation, if simply drip iodine glycerin, there is no good control of inflammation, you can also use hydrogen peroxide, saline for gingival sulcus irrigation, rinse the anaerobic bacteria in the gingival sulcus and then use iodine glycerin, you can control inflammation well.
Because you wear a fixed appliance when straightening your teeth, you can't use regular dental floss to clean the neck of your teeth, so you need to use an interdental brush to clean it.
Correction of why four teeth were extracted
If the tooth is extracted and corrected after the doctor's clinical examination and model analysis, it means that the patient has obvious problems of uncoordinated tooth volume and bone mass, the amount of teeth is greater than the bone mass, and the total circumference of the teeth is longer than the circumference of the jawbone, resulting in problems such as crowded teeth, uneven alignment, poor occlusal relationship and facial protrusion, so it is necessary to make room for other teeth to move through tooth extraction, and finally align the teeth, improve the protrusion of the dental arch, and then improve the occlusal relationship, improve the chewing function and improve the face shape to achieve aesthetic results. Data analysis shows that the proportion of orthodontic patients in China is between 65% and 70%, and the four teeth to be extracted are one each of the four symmetrical sections of the upper and lower left and right, which is the tooth with the least impact on the masticatory function, and there is no hindrance to the oral cavity and general health after extraction.
How long does it take to straighten your teeth now
The duration of orthodontic treatment depends greatly on the deformity, the correct method, or the child's degree of cooperation. Because the aligner is worn in the mouth and works all the time, if the child does not cooperate well and often breaks the aligner, it will also affect the course of treatment and even affect the curative effect.Therefore, generally in the case of good cooperation, about 1.5 years, and some simple ones may be shorter. Correction in adults may take longer because adults have abundant blood vessels and the reconstruction of the jaw is not as good as that of children. In the middle of each orthodontic process, the distance moved will be slightly shorter, and the amount of movement will be slightly smaller, for the sake of dental health. However, it is also related to the condition of corrected deformity. Some deformities may be relatively simple and may still be very fast, especially some may be repaired, and even the preparation for surgery may be shorter.
