With such benefits, I would like to share my braces process, the signs you will experience when you first get braces to provide options for those who are still hesitant about how to get braces? and where should I get braces?
The process of getting braces and the signs when you first get braces
The stage before getting braces
The first thing is to find a reputable and modern cosmetic center, for me, because my cousin previously had dental implant cosmetic surgery at Lac Viet Dental Center and achieved very good results, so I trust in choosing Lac Viet Dental to get braces.
Nha The doctor will check for dental problems, take full-mouth X-rays, create a treatment plan appropriate to your dental condition, advise on the specific time expected to be completed, and arrange an appointment for you to attach braces or take impressions to make transparent braces. Depending on the condition of each person's teeth, the jaw may need to be expanded to create space so the teeth have room to move.
Currently, there are many braces techniques to choose from such as metal braces, ceramic braces, braces without braces,... depending on your requirements and economic characteristics. Personally, I chose the method of braces using metal braces. This is an economical and effective method of braces suitable for a student like me.
Before installing braces, if you have dental diseases, the dentist will remove tartar, treat periodontal disease and treat diseases such as inflammation, tooth decay, etc. first to prevent this condition from negatively affecting the results of braces.
Monitoring stage of the braces process
The doctor takes a plaster impression of the jaw to serve the purpose of braces. design braces suitable for each patient
At the first appointment, I performed 'Placing interstitial elastics'. The doctor will place 1 elastic between teeth 5 and 6, and 1 elastic between teeth 6 and 7 to separate the teeth, and then sew them to that tooth. After placing the elastic, I felt a bit uncomfortable when biting my teeth.
At the end of the first session, the doctor will make an appointment to come back 5-7 days later to attach the stitches and braces.
Wearing the stitches and braces takes a lot of time. After wearing the braces, I felt a strange and uncomfortable feeling, the braces were rubbing against my inner cheek and felt a bit burning, but this feeling only lasted for 2 to 3 days because I was not used to it.
During the first 3 months after installation. With braces, you will notice a change in the position of the teeth, but it is still not as regular as you would like.
After 6 months, tooth movement will be slower than the original. Clear changes will be shown after 9 months, the teeth are arranged more regularly, my two jaws look correlated to each other, have a symmetrical shape.
According to my treatment regimen, by the 16th month, the braces process is almost complete, the dentist will re-check the results, correct imperfections.
In total, the whole process will have 3-4 visits to the doctor to check the effectiveness and adjust errors.
During the braces process, the most painful stage is when the braces are first installed. The main reason is because when braces are applied, the teeth move, creating changes to the jawbone and teeth. This is a change in jaw structure. In addition, the stage of pulling the spring and increasing the force also caused my teeth to hurt for a day due to the change in pulling force on my teeth. However, this pain does not last long, when you adapt to the pull of the wire and the appearance of braces, you will feel normal.
The end of the treatment process
The time to complete my braces case is 19 months. However, according to the doctor, in some cases where the teeth are too misaligned, the correction time will be longer. In addition, after removing the braces, to ensure the best results and avoid situations where the teeth are misaligned due to not being careful, I choose to wear a shaping device.
Experience when getting braces
First, choose a reputable and modern dental center because the quality of braces depends largely on the experience of performing experts and modern technical equipment. The better the above factors, the more effective the braces will be.
When choosing Lac Viet Dental center, the dentist who performed my braces is master Nguyen Thi Thu Trang. During the dental work, the center is very concerned about the health and changes of teeth, has a suitable and complete treatment, and is committed to the final results. Before getting my teeth done, I felt extremely satisfied with the meticulous and professional customer care service. During the dental procedure, the doctor's methods were very decisive and gentle, I didn't even feel as much pain as people often say on the website. And the results after braces are what satisfy and appreciate me the most. The results exceeded expectations.
Second, have a reasonable diet and hygiene. Avoid all chewy, hard foods because they can dislocate braces and increase pain in your teeth. In addition, you should clean your mouth with saline regularly, use a small, soft toothbrush, and clean your oral cavity to avoid infection during the braces process.
