Can secondary orthodontic treatment be successful?

Teeth correction cannot be done in one go. It takes a long time and repeated treatments to achieve the effect of correcting teeth. During the process of teeth correction, you need to pay attention to the fact that whether the second correction can be successful depends mainly on the recovery of the teeth. In addition, the specific method of correction should be decided based on the effect of the first correction. Don't think that the correction can be completed in one go and succeed every time.

Precautions

There are some issues that need attention during the process of orthodontic treatment, because these issues may have some impact on orthodontic treatment, so it is recommended to pay attention to them to ensure the effectiveness and safety.

1. Do not eat bones or hard-shell foods: During orthodontic treatment, in addition to following the doctor's instructions, you must also carefully care for the braces on your teeth. Also avoid eating large pieces of food, such as cutting apples into small pieces before eating, so as to prevent the accessories of the braces from loosening due to improper diet, so that the entire correction process can be completed smoothly. First of all, you should avoid eating foods with a hard texture, such as bone foods, crabs, nuts and so on.

2. You can rinse your mouth with water or tea after meals. There are also a large number of microorganisms in the human oral cavity. Therefore, the most ideal way to take care of your teeth is of course to brush your teeth after every meal. Therefore, there are many abnormal pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity. If the teeth are not brushed well and food remains between the teeth, bacteria will multiply and cause tooth decay or periodontal tissue inflammation, destroying the entire course of treatment. If it is inconvenient to brush your teeth after a meal, you can rinse your mouth with water or tea.

3. Do not eat sticky foods. Do not eat anything that can be chewed or knocked. Meat must be cut with a knife or torn into small pieces by hand or peeled before eating. Do not chew or tear it directly with your teeth. Do not eat sticky foods.

4. Eat less snacks. Reduce the amount of snacks and candies, especially chewing gum. If a teenager is getting orthodontic treatment, parents should be particularly careful to urge their children to follow the doctor's instructions, such as: going to the hospital for regular check-ups, replacing wires, wearing rubber bands, etc. Since chewing gum sticks to the braces, it is difficult to remove. Otherwise, the correction process will be delayed and the desired correction result will not be achieved.

5. Keep your mouth clean: Because dental braces are bonded to teeth with adhesives, force is applied to the teeth through the correction device to achieve the desired tooth movement. Use a special orthodontic toothbrush, move gently and slowly, 3 to 5 minutes each time. Therefore, orthodontic patients need to maintain good oral hygiene.
