What is the process of getting braces like?

Some people are born with neatly arranged teeth, which is a gift from God. However, many people do not have such a gift. Children will have various problems when their teeth are growing. The most common one is that the teeth grow crookedly or become deformed. At this time, braces are needed to correct them. The prices of braces on the market now vary greatly. Some cost several hundred yuan per set, while others cost thousands or tens of thousands. The following will teach you the correct process of wearing braces.

The process of getting braces:

Blood test, venous blood draw

What is the purpose of a blood test? In some more formal dental hospitals, doctors will ask patients to undergo routine blood tests and two-and-a-half liver function tests before orthodontic treatment. This is what patients will ask: I am having oral surgery, why do I need to have a blood test? The purpose of blood tests is first and foremost to help orthodontists understand the patient's overall health and screen and rule out blood system diseases. In this way, the orthodontist can make a correct diagnosis and develop a treatment plan based on the patient's specific situation. At the same time, for certain special patients, appropriate measures can be taken during treatment to reduce the possibility of them encountering danger during treatment. A second purpose of blood tests before treatment is to screen for hepatitis B. China is a country with a high incidence of hepatitis B. In order to prevent cross-infection of hepatitis B during medical treatment, medical institutions at all levels in the country attach great importance to its transmission routes.

Take dental X-rays

At least two X-rays must be taken before correction.

One is a curved surface film, which is used to check the number and shape of teeth and the health of all tooth roots. You can also see the condition of the joints.

The other one is a correction-specific one, called a lateral head view.

This film is very important. It can be said that a regular orthodontist must see this film and analyze it before correction. Without this film, there is no treatment plan and it is impossible to start correction.

Take a picture of your teeth

The doctor will take pictures from the front, 45° side, 90° side, two pictures at each angle, one picture of the mouth in its natural state, one picture of a toothy smile, and pictures of the teeth from all angles.
