Before orthodontics, correct without taking a dental film, and the consequences may be very serious!

Many orthodontists put on braces without taking a picture before orthodontics. Results Many problems were found in the teeth after orthodontic treatment.

Why? Today, I will introduce in detail how important it is to check before orthodontics.

Several things that must be done before orthodontics

The diagnosis and location before orthodontics will directly affect the whole orthodontic effect! If you want to complete the correction safely, healthily and smoothly, these things are indispensable before correction.

Because the teeth are exposed and the roots are in the alveolar bone that we can't see with our naked eyes, we need to know the situation of the teeth clearly, so that we can make a personalized correction plan.

First, two x-rays should be taken.

1, curved section, it is necessary to observe whether the root of each tooth is normal.

Because sometimes, there may be some factors affecting tooth movement around the root, such as apical inflammation, extra teeth, cysts and so on. This will not only affect tooth movement, but also a health problem that needs to be dealt with. So we need to take pictures before orthodontics to eliminate these factors.

2, lateral head lateral film, it is necessary to ask the patient's skull and teeth, facial soft tissue ratio, whether coordinated.

Because orthodontics is not only to arrange teeth, but also to bring about tooth health and even facial changes. We should give consideration to health, function and beauty. Only by knowing the position of bones and teeth can we make an individualized correction plan more scientifically.

3. Dental photos and facial photos,

Dental photos include: frontal occlusion photos, bilateral occlusion photos, single upper teeth photos and single lower teeth photos;

Facial photos: front photos, front photos, side photos. We should analyze the patient's soft tissue and see the severity of his malocclusion according to his face.

In addition to these materials, sometimes small dental tablets or CBCT may be added.

Because panoramic films and lateral head films are two-dimensional images, they cannot reflect the three-dimensional spatial structure. For some patients with complex dental conditions, only by clearly determining the spatial position of each tooth can we avoid problems in the orthodontic process.

Therefore, in order to make a more scientific orthodontic plan, orthodontists not only need to take X-rays, but also arrange CBCT examination when necessary.

4. Tooth model

Taking the dental model is the last step before correction. The model should be clear and complete, and even the mucosal transition of the oral cavity should be clearly imprinted.

That is to say, 100% restores the real situation of your mouth, and the dentist patiently measures it and makes an accurate correction plan.

Compared with the traditional PVS, we can choose more comfortable, more efficient and more accurate intraoral scanning of iTero.

ITero intraoral scanning can generally obtain accurate dental data within 3 minutes, and after scanning, it can also preliminarily preview the corrected effect, which is also convenient for communication.

Q: What else should I pay attention to before correction?

Need to be reminded that for pregnant women, it is not recommended to correct teeth. You need to take pictures before orthodontics, there will be a small amount of radiation, and you may feel uncomfortable in the early stage of orthodontics and need to adapt. In order to avoid increasing the burden on pregnant women, it is not recommended to correct teeth during pregnancy. When the baby recovers, you can start the journey of correction.

If you are pregnant, you can correct your teeth. The radiation of dental photography is very small, which is equivalent to the radiation of our computer. Moreover, the dental radiography equipment of Synbiotics is imported, so filming has no effect on pregnancy.

However, it is recommended to get pregnant three months after oral CT in special complicated cases; If you find yourself pregnant while wearing the appliance, but you don't feel uncomfortable, you can continue to wear the appliance. If you have a big reaction during pregnancy, you should stop correcting it. You can wear a retainer to keep it, and then continue to correct your teeth after giving birth.
