Is it better to wear dentures or braces?

Dentures and braces are both common methods of dental treatment. It is difficult to say which one is better, but only which one is more suitable for the patient. For example, if it is the back teeth, dental implants can generally be used. But the time for dental implants is relatively long. They can completely merge with healthy teeth. Dentures mainly refer to the reduction of the teeth around the teeth, and three crowns can be made together. Let’s take a look at this aspect.

Is it better to wear dentures or braces?

The answer to this question is different, because both dental implants and dentures have their own advantages and precautions. You still need to check which method is suitable for your mouth and which price is acceptable to you. These are all influencing factors. However, in terms of the length of use, dental implants take a longer time, because dental implants can completely blend with normal, healthy teeth and are not much different from real teeth. If you consider the length of use, choose dental implants.

If it is the back teeth, it is recommended to use dental implants, because the back teeth need to bear more chewing burden. At the same time, dental implants are different from porcelain teeth. Dental implants do not need to destroy the adjacent teeth for fixation, while porcelain teeth need to rely on the adjacent teeth for fixation, and part of the tooth tissue needs to be removed. The only disadvantage of dental implants is their high cost.

To make a denture, you need to grind down the teeth around the lost tooth so that you can make three crowns together. If the two teeth around you are intact, this solution is not very good. Grinding down the original good teeth will cause many problems, and making a crown cannot guarantee that there will be no problems with the edge of the crown.

Dental implants do not damage adjacent teeth and can better restore the functions of the teeth themselves. You are still young and dental implants can be used for a long time, so they are a good choice for young people. Regarding the pain issue, most people think that the pain of dental implants comes from tooth extraction. In fact, the process of dental implants is very fast, only about 15 minutes. It is painless after the anesthesia. Once the tooth root has grown well, you can make a crown on it. It will not fall off because it is locked. Because dentures are harmful and may wear out your nearby good teeth. If you are still young, you can choose dental implants. If you are already older, you can choose dentures, which are quick and convenient.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

1. Powerful functions. It can restore tooth function very well, and the chewing function is much better than other traditional dentures.

2. Do not grind your teeth. It relies on its own artificial tooth roots for repair, without grinding the healthy teeth next to it, and does not cause any harm to the teeth.

3. Good retention. Without the use of traditional dental clasps or braces, the artificial roots are tightly integrated with the alveolar bone and are rooted in the mouth like real teeth, with strong retention and stability.

4. Dental implants are beautiful. The crown can be made according to the patient's facial shape, the shape and color of other teeth, to achieve better overall coordination and aesthetics.

5. Comfortable and convenient. It does not use the base and clasp required for removable dentures, has no foreign body sensation, is very comfortable and convenient, and helps to maintain oral hygiene.

6. Simple operation. Dental implant surgery is a minor alveolar surgical procedure, similar to tooth extraction. It uses local anesthesia, has minimal trauma, and allows you to eat right after the surgery with almost no pain. Generally, implant placement only takes tens of minutes to several hours to complete.
