We all want bright and tidy teeth. Orthodontic treatments can help improve irregular tooth alignment and help us smile brightly and regain confidence. At the same time, orthodontic arrangement of crowded teeth can help improve oral hygiene and maintain oral and dental health.

Do I need orthodontics? Orthodontics can improve the following conditions:

  • Overcrowded or misaligned teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbite (excessive protuberance of upper teeth)
  • Underbite (protruding jaw with lower teeth in front of the upper)
  • Open bite
  • Deep bite
  • Misplaced midline
  • Owing to tooth alignment, chewing function is affected, causing discomfort or pain in the temporomandibular joint, dyspnea in speech, chewing gum (flesh) and so on

Traditional orthodontic systems use rubber bands and wires to adjust the teeth to the desired position; regular visits are required for adjustment and replacement by dentists. With the development of technology, the technology and configuration of the orthodontic system have been improved, which can shorten the treatment period, reduce the number of follow-up visits, and make the orthodontic process more comfortable and efficient.

The current orthodontic technology has been advanced, and orthodontic treatments are becoming more convenient and comfortable, and the results are becoming more perfect.

  • Modern orthodontic treatments have very little traction on the teeth, and may initially cause short-term and mild discomfort, but most people can quickly adapt to it.
  • Adolescents take a much shorter time to correct their teeth during development and growth due to their high metabolic rate, while orthodontic treatment is equally satisfactory for adults with good oral health.
  • During orthodontic treatment, as long as the patients follow the dentist’s advice, the braces should not interfere with daily life and activities.
  • After getting orthodontic treatments, it is generally necessary to wear retainers to stabilize the tooth position, and the time required to wear them varies from person to person.
  • In general, orthodontic treatments take up to 1-2 years or more. In addition to regular follow-up visits, care for oral hygiene and cleaning, and care and wearing braces and accessories as directed by dentists are essential.
