How long does it take to correct a tooth after extraction?

Some friends cannot have their teeth corrected because of tooth extraction. Generally speaking, teeth can be corrected one week after tooth extraction. However, you must take good care of your oral hygiene after tooth extraction, otherwise it is easy to cause some oral diseases.

What are the methods of tooth correction?

1. Removable appliance

For those who love beauty and are in the period of deciduous teeth and replacement teeth, this is the best and relatively simple method of orthodontic treatment. It can also be used in conjunction with fixed orthodontic appliances for correction. People who love beauty can take it off and put it on by themselves, which is quite convenient.

2. Bracketless invisible braces

Many people who pursue beauty have high requirements for their image due to work and other reasons, so bracketless invisible braces are most suitable, and people who pursue beauty can take them off and put them on by themselves. However, this method is only suitable for mild crowding and rotation of individual teeth.

3. Orthognathic surgery

Some people who love beauty have serious maxillofacial deformities, such as maxillary retrusion, mandibular protrusion, etc. The general orthodontic methods can only move teeth a limited distance and cannot guarantee the effect. Orthognathic surgery can move teeth and bones over a larger range, so the effect is better.

4. Functional orthodontic methods

It is mainly used for children who are in the period of tooth replacement or have just replaced their teeth and are still in the peak period of growth and development. Functional orthodontic appliances can be used to correct skeletal malocclusion. For children with malocclusion who have poor profile during the deciduous and replacement dentition periods, such as mandibular retrusion and anterior crossbite, the use of functional appliances can achieve good therapeutic effects.

5. Removable tooth correction method

It is generally used to correct relatively simple malocclusions in deciduous teeth and replacement teeth, or in conjunction with fixed orthodontic appliances. Patients can put it on and take it off by themselves.
