The best age for straightening teeth

People's living standards are improving the aesthetic point of view is also changing the external appearance of the parents of the child's teeth are very concerned about, however, many children due to congenital or acquired causes dentition have straightening teeth, but there are some parents not very concerned, especially children, that children will teeth, teeth for End Moreover, the breeding of this view of the spread of Malocclusion.

We all know that the best period of the correction is 12 to 18 years, But this is only a partial argument for the correction of the best period of the permanent teeth, deciduous teeth anti-jaw should be timely corrected, the emergence of permanent teeth period bone malocclusion or functional malocclusion are the need for timely correction, so as not to affect the health of the children!

The best age of the correction can be divided into three stages:

Deciduous teeth of stages: 4 to 5 years old, children grow First Deputy teeth. This period is mainly applied to deciduous anti-jaw (package days), early treatment of maxillary development, the prevention of permanent teeth against the jaw and bone deformities. If the child has a bad habit of (such Shenshe, Yaochun, etc.), can be corrected at this stage, to prevent the occurrence of malocclusion.

Mixed dentition stage: 8 to 10-year-old girl, 9 to 12-year-old boy, deciduous and permanent teeth alternately a period of existence. Dentition stage parents if children have bad habits, facial abnormalities and abnormal teeth alignment, etc., shall promptly bring the child to dental equipment find the orthodontic professional doctors check consultation, to determine simple teeth caused by deformity or functional cause’s deformity or bone deformities, and to determine the duration of treatment and treatment programs.

Stages of child growth and development of youth pre-peak period, if your child is wrong jaw function or bone deformities, treatment at this stage can take full advantage of the growth potential of the jaw, jaw by promoting or inhibiting the growth for therapeutic purposes to Harm to the body of missing teeth improve the child's face and function.

Permanent dentition stage: girls 11 to 14 years old, 13 to 15-year-old boy. Common Malocclusion can get good treatment at this stage. In addition, some serious Malocclusion, if a family history of serious anti-jaw ", after the age of 18 orthognathic surgical treatment in order to achieve the desired results.

Teeth corrected and there is no age limit

"Braces earners braces girl" to describe, we know that the most common youth straightening teeth, if you missed the best time for young straightening teeth, the dentition of adults messy but also to make adjustments?

30-year-old Ms. Chung recently encountered this problem, she had a "big whistle tooth crowding is incomplete, yellowish, difficult to clean the mouth also appears mild bad breath. So eager to complete straightening teeth. Director of the hospital orthodontic specialist orthodontic technology has been developed, and adults if the correction of teeth has no age limit. Of course, the need for and the need for treatment, according to the patient's systemic and oral conditions and other factors.

And adolescents compared to adult growth and development has been completed, maxillofacial suture into a bone fusion, bone, nerve, muscle plasticity is very low, and adult metabolism slows down, the biological response reduced, so adult correction complex teeth than dental instruments children straightening teeth. For example, the treatment of adult tooth movement, a relatively long period of severe bone deformities need orthognathic surgical correction, treatment, and hold time.

Orthodontics, experts say, compared with young people, the treatment of adult tooth movement, severe bone deformities need orthognathic surgical correction, treatment, and hold time relatively long. However, relatively speaking, adult patients and more autonomy for treatment, can take the initiative to cooperate with the treatment, performed on doctor's orders better able to Dental professionals to talk about root canal treatment maintain oral health, so the final treatment effect better.

Therefore, if an adult feel to malocclusion the deformity teeth affect the appearance, function, regardless of age, can the hospital, to see if suitable for straightening teeth. Dental experts have warned that the malocclusion of teeth due to less self-cleaning and good dental caries, causing periodontal disease, they are able to handle the processing of the best.

Local causes of bleeding gums

Often caused by poor oral hygiene, bleeding gums: tooth surface accumulation of debris, plaque, tartar, or tooth malalignment, teeth together trauma, food impaction, and poor prosthesis local irritation, causing the gums to the nipple and gingival inflammation, edema, hyperemia, vessel wall rupture, causing bleeding gums, especially more obvious bleeding when brushing your teeth or biting hard objects.

Bleeding gums caused by acute inflammation: acute onset of gingival papillary necrosis, pain, bleeding, often as a kind of spontaneous gingival bleeding, and more. Patients often bloody saliva at night sleep out of the oral contamination altercation with dental instruments pillow mattress, the gingival papillary necrosis, pain, bleeding, often as a kind of spontaneous gingival bleeding and more. Patients often bloody saliva at night sleep out of the oral contamination altercation with pillow mattress, causing family members or me panic and rush for medical treatment.

How to carry out root canal treatment?

The main advantage of root canal treatment:

1. Root canal treatment can maintain the integrity of the natural teeth in order to prevent displacement of adjacent teeth, tooth decay, periodontal disease occur, prevent tooth support bone loss too much, the stability of the appearance of the face shape of dentures more teeth to maintain solve a number of dentures production difficulties.

2. Avoid early removal of teeth caused by malocclusion, thus eliminating the trouble of orthodontic treatment.

3. Selection of root canal treatment can reduce the risk of patients with severe systemic disease (such as: congenital heart disease, diabetes, tuberculosis, hemophilia, pernicious anemia, rheumatic fever, leukemia, hypertension, syphilis, etc.).

4. Cost savings. Root canal treatment can maintain the appropriate state of the natural teeth in a complete and biology, without teeth, removal of, so you do not need to Dentitions do orthodontics borrow the adjacent teeth to support the denture device, eliminating the normal pressure, and reduce the funding of the denture production.

Root canal treatment is the most effective treatment of endodontic and periapical diseases, the most thorough, most advanced treatment technology. It to operate more complex range of equipment and fine, long duration of treatment generally consists of the following four steps.

1. Root canal preparation
Opening the chamber to completely clear the lesion necrotic pulp tissue, measuring the length of the root canal for endodontic.
2. Root canal irrigates
3. Root Canal Disinfection
The drug most commonly used disinfection, cotton twist dipped in a little liquid placed in the root canal, and the hole with temporary filling material sealed.
4. Root canal filling
The final step in root canal therapy, root canal treatment in the most important step. The clinical root canal filling with gutta percha root canal filling material and root canal system can be tightly closed.
 
The above four steps, usually three, to achieve complete sterilization, to ensure efficacy, each separated by about one week. Need to shoot more than one dental film dental instruments in the course of treatment that can help doctors understand the root canal length, periapical tissue destruction, for the correct diagnosis, treatment, provide a reference film. You can also understand the effect of root canal filling as well as some before and after dental treatment, observation and comparison. This often makes the patient can not understand, but is necessary to achieve satisfactory therapeutic effect.

Root canal therapy is an advanced dental surgery, although the treatment is time-consuming, the price a little expensive, but beneficial to ensure that the teeth in the long-term treatment.

In recent years, such as these do porcelain teeth caused by periodontal disease patients. Porcelain restoration is a dental method popular in recent years, the first teeth grinding, and then in the root made ​​of high strength alloy metal cap, grilled on the surface layer of natural tooth color similar to the ceramic powder last bonded to the teeth. So repair the appearance of the teeth beautiful, but the teeth worn away more than a third, and will definitely damage The specific steps of the orthodontic teeth, nerves and blood vessels.

Orthodontic treatment comfortable concept

Coincided with the sharp increase of the summer, to the hospital orthodontic students, painless treatment needs for children and young people, the Dental Hospital of Jinan City in various departments this year the full implementation of oral treatment concept, the original variety of medical services to integrate, strengthen and maximize to create a favorable environment for medical treatment. The concept under the guidance of the Department of Orthodontics, extensive application of a self-locking bracket appliance, the MUT appliance systems, and ultra-thin brackets appliance system, three kinds dental instruments of high efficiency, light power correction system, and its gentle correcting force, while rapid, efficient completion of the teeth move as much as possible to shorten the course held up because of dental treatment for students who do not have too much homework, but no significant pain, is currently very advanced orthodontic technology.

Adolescence is the best periods of straightening teeth grow older, the correction is more and more difficult, and so the problem must be treated as soon as possible, but also to choose the professional authority of medical institutions to regulate clinics.

Toxic metal porcelain teeth?

The teeth beauty vane - porcelain teeth, his outermost layer of high temperature ceramics for space shuttle, the inner expansion synchronized gold teeth hot and cold, is a high-temperature casting, bonding technologies such as one high-tech products. Of domestic Prosthodontics commonly used in clinical porcelain crown materials include:

1. Metallic materials: dental nickel-chromium alloy, gold-platinum alloy or gold, constitute the base of the porcelain crown.

2. Ceramic materials: Dental high-temperature ceramic dental instruments powder, the general need to import, sintered at high temperature ceramic crowns outside the crown.

3. Bonding material: clinical prosthodontics adhesive zinc phosphate cement, glass ionomer, and adhesive resin.

Above the crown repair material are on the human body after rigorous laboratory and clinical trials, Dental materials, under normal circumstances there is no measured toxicity;

It should be noted that the nickel-chromium alloy in the domestic porcelain substrate crown base metals, slow release of metal ions in the oral cavity, and penetrate into the adjacent soft and hard tissue, resulting in the colors of these organizations coloring (usually gray and Q & A on the dental implant black more common is the former dental porcelain crown labial gingival margin gray line) and the precious metal base crown to avoid such a situation occur. Therefore, the professional dentists recommend that patients choose the precious metal porcelain teeth or porcelain teeth.

Periodontal atrophy in the elderly what is the reason

Elderly, have become the body of the function is getting worse, and even periodontal also began to slowly atrophy symptoms, which many said did not understand, what causes elderly periodontal atrophy? Today we will go together to listen to the introduction of cosmetic dental authoritative experts.

The teeth beauty experts’ adult oral tissue, organ or cellular components reached a mature stage, but because of external stimuli factors have led to decline, shrink, lose their proper function, known as atrophy. Periodontal atrophy refers to the teeth in the oral gingival margin and alveolar bone the same time retreat, making the root exposed to periodontal tissue inflammation and trauma.

Periodontal atrophy is more common in older people, which is subject to a variety of losses due to the periodontal tissues over time see, stimulate. Periodontal tissue inflammation will subside after atrophy, formed atrophic periodontitis. As people age, CP, many patients with the gums physiological withdrawal, which produce the dental instruments elderly periodontal atrophy.

There is also a cause of unknown Alzheimer atrophy, did not reach old age and full-mouth periodontal tissue to shrink evenly. Experts said that periodontal atrophy of the Caries treatment elderly is a serious oral problem, patients should pay attention to, especially the elderly, and the periodontal tissue is a great harm.

Why the child's teeth will be sparse?

Between the teeth in children between 6-9 years old, often a gap and become more sparse. Temporary physiological clearance for this gap, the gap there is very favorable for the upcoming eruption of the larger permanent teeth to replace the shedding of deciduous teeth eruption, is conducive to the permanent teeth have adequate location arranged in neat rows, tooth replacement is completed and established a new occlusion, the gap is more than will disappear naturally. If the permanent teeth arranged in sparse joints need to determine the reasons, one reason the shape of the permanent teeth small, conical teeth or too small teeth; the other is the existence of congenital missing teeth by orthodontic or repair method to close the gap.

Congenital missing teeth, the number of teeth can be divided into individual missing teeth and some missing teeth and full mouth of missing teeth. Congenital missing teeth and more related to genetic, it could be early embryonic exposure to hazardous substances affect the results. Individual teeth and masticatory function, dental arch shape, beautiful little effect, you can not deal with;, the large number of missing teeth can be considered a denture repair, restore chewing function and dental instruments esthetics at the same time, promote the collar bone, muscle and the development of the face, but prosthesis must be with the child's growth and development and constantly changing.

Congenital absence of permanent tooth germ, deciduous preservation or removal of becoming more cautious and difficult. When the permanent teeth arranged in more crowded, there is no inheritance of the permanent teeth of primary teeth can be removed to provide adequate space What is the adhesive fixed partial denture in crowded permanent teeth arranged in neat rows; retention of deciduous teeth when permanent teeth arranged in sparse, the gap g foot, it can keep in order to maintain the integrity of teeth columns and masticatory function.

The denture Category and price characteristics

Denture teeth or removed to restore the functions of chewing, appearance, pronunciation fillings dentures. Patients’ teeth damaged or fall off the extent of complete dentures and partial removable denture can be divided into.

1. Description: full mouth (half mouth) teeth have come off the production activities of restoration. Self-removal of the cleaning. Gradually increase the awareness of oral health, the full mouth all the shedding phenomenon is more common due to severe periodontitis, resulting in alveolar bone resorption, full mouth of teeth fall off. Removable dentures in terms of use or dental instruments adaptation of the patients are poor, and likely to cause food impaction, we should take off after each dining cleaning, very unsightly.

2. Complete denture Category:

Full mouth dentures / resin prices are cheaper, but not long useful life, generally three to five years, fell easy to crack, and deliberate attempt to increase the thickness of the denture base of production, thus causing patients to adapt to poor initial use basic can not chew need time to Root canal treatment equipment and technology innovation adapt, has been gradually phased out.

Complete denture / nickel chrome metal base is made of nickel-chromium alloy, heat easily, thin base plate thickness relative resin complete denture, but because of its nickel-chromium alloy, long-term use will cause the metal ion free.

Complete denture / titanium base plate made of titanium alloy, titanium was only 2% -6%.

Complete denture / titanium base plate made of pure titanium denture as a whole, compared with other metal alloys, thin, light, patients with high fitness and high biocompatibility, and no side effects on the human body.

Root canal therapy regular treatment methods and procedures

1. Pre-treatment preparation: a comprehensive history taking, clinical examination and taking X-rays, combined with the subjective symptoms, physical and psychological condition, develop treatment programs. The doctor - patient communication and detailed records.

2. X-rays: preoperative films, angle pieces, root canal after completion requirements of shooting a total of three dental films.

3. Painless and aseptic technique: treatment of the whole process to emphasize the importance of pain and aseptic technique, to eliminate the patient's pain and dental instruments fear, to prevent cross-infection.

4. Root canal treatment steps:

(1). Tooth preparation: including to the net caries organization, the changes in the bite, cracked teeth ligation or temporary crowns
(2). Opening the chamber: to expose the whole pulp chamber roof, so that the equipment resistance straight into the root canal, and minimize the destruction of dental hard tissue.
(3). Determine the location of the root canal orifice.
(4). pull the marrow: the necrotic pulp is gradually in-depth removal of non-necrotic pulp removal of time.
(5). Determine the working length.
(6). Root canal preparation: to achieve a thorough clean-up of the root canal system, formed along the original root canal to Why is dental not white material a certain taper limited to the shape of the apical basis points. Recommended inverted spacious France technologies.
(7). flush: lubrication and flushing throughout the whole process of root canal preparation. Requirements for non-pressure rinse.
(8). Root canal medication: Recommended use of calcium hydroxide, sealed drug for 1-2 weeks.
(9). Root canal filling: the root filling material filling tight, from the x-ray film to the apical 0.5-2.0mm.

5 Complete dentistry: X-ray showed that the intact root canal filling, line a temporary or a permanent tooth restoration, such as dental experts to answer vague as the teeth status of the proposed line of the crown or crown after.

6. Postoperative visit: a return visit cycle for three months, six months, 1 year, 2 years or longer.

Children could the missing teeth

Children in a timely manner bordered missing teeth, it is important to grow and develop. The important function of the teeth suction chewing food, children's lack of teeth to chew the food first and do not affect the absorption of nutrients, increasing the burden on the stomach, over time, can cause indigestion and other gastrointestinal diseases.

Teeth assisted pronunciation function, especially in the first incisor, for children to learn accurate, clear pronunciation is more important. Lack of front teeth, talk of leakage, will form a lisp.

Children are jaw development; posterior teeth missing, missing teeth and the side of men 1/3 re-direct distance becomes shorter, so that the faces shape asymmetry. Missing teeth for too long, the upper and lower alveolar jaw lack of physiological functions to dental instruments stimulate long-term loss of normal bite relationship and make jaw development absorbed atrophy.

So, regardless of when the cause of missing teeth should be bordered to restore its physiological function.

Dentition and face of children has not been established, appropriate activities teeth should be bordered with the development of the jaw, dental arch Teeth whitening food "search" expansion, the future safety and regular inspection and periodic replacement.

Physical teeth whitening - ultrasonic scaling

Some people's teeth will be black, yellow, because usually the accumulation of plaque surface; or poor eating habits, likes to drink some easy to dye beverages such as coffee, tea, etc.; there are the smokers, which when you can use ultrasonic scaling, staining of the tooth surface to remove.

Whitening principle: for plaque accumulation can cause tooth staining, the use of the ultrasonic removal of the attachment of the tooth surface, tooth is whitening effect.

The use of object: to cause discoloration of the teeth due to dental calculus

Effects: tooth color change due to tartar, there will be a good whitening effect.

Every six months, scaling plus health check

Generally, we recommend every six months on a regular basis to the repressed, where an ultrasonic scaling, because every day we eat, will leave food scraps, even diligent brushing food dental instruments or calcified into tartar, only scaling in order to get rid of the tartar. Before many elderly people are reminded not to often scaling, carefully wash the enamel, which is a wrong concept! That is because older people often long to wash your teeth, the accumulation of a lot of dental calculus, a washing dirt between teeth, see Chifeng, mistakenly think that the bad teeth, wash, and in fact few will restore the natural, is not scaling the damage teeth. In addition, tooth decay or dental calculus is the cumulative result of periodontal disease are very serious will feel using the opportunity of The detailed description of the implant system design half-yearly scaling early detection of some of the mud is not the way to the dentist to help you check that can help you know the disease. Do any whitening treatment, doctors boasted stop instructions, communicate with doctors, all the necessary preparations.

How to choose the type of dental implant?

How to choose the type of dental implant many patients reflect the teeth out just a simple teeth quickly repaired, because I heard good dental implant, most dental implant, but in fact, due to lack of knowledge of dental implants, dental implant species is not very understanding, so do not know how to choose the types of dental implant.

Want to choose their own dental implants, it is necessary to know which types of dental implant

1. Subperiosteal implant, the implant has a long history of the application. Divided stent type, particle type and porous type, the most commonly used material for such dental implant cast cobalt-chromium alloy, alumina, ceramic, etc. can also be dental instruments on the surface spray, commonly used in the alveolar bone width and height is not enough and difficult to other to achieve the functional effects of Implants. Mainly used for the lower jaw full mouth dental patients with mandibular better.

2. Dental implant mucosa, often become a mushroom-shaped titanium or titanium alloy, its mushroom top part of the implant within the mucosa, mushrooms stalk-like part of the exposure in the mucosa outside end of the undercut embedded tissue surface of denture base to keep the hole the formation of the role of the retention. Such dental implant term effect, but long-term results are poor.

3. Dental implant, bone, also known as root canal, dental implant or internal fixation in the root canal. The implant needle surface is smooth or threaded the commonly used cobalt-chromium alloy, titanium and other materials. Dental Implants in periodontitis loose teeth fixed, traumatic loose teeth fixed apical resection of the fixed and adjust root to shoot ratio. Can reduce tooth to retain as much as real teeth, but the scope of application has some limitations sex.

4. Bone, dental implant, it is to implant jaw organizations, to support the denture, the equivalent of the implant, implanted in the gums of the about to set installed is the range of clinical applications, a class of planting the largest number of teeth. The dental implant, depending on the shape and type, you need to take different surgical methods and surgical instruments, implants.
