What are the advantages and disadvantages of wearing braces

Many children are prone to tooth deformities after their teeth change. An ugly set of teeth will be ridiculed and affect their appearance. Moreover, uneven teeth will affect the chewing ability, and it is difficult to clean the mouth completely. Food residues breed bacteria in the gaps between teeth and cause periodontitis. Red and swollen gums and gum disease often occur, which are very harmful. Wearing braces can correct tooth deformities, make teeth neater and prevent oral diseases. Wearing braces also has disadvantages, such as it makes eating inconvenient and food easily sticks to the metal sheets. But generally speaking, the advantages of wearing braces outweigh the disadvantages, and the earlier the correction, the better the effect.

Benefits of wearing braces:

1. Prepare to repair missing teeth. People who are missing teeth but do not want to have dentures or are not suitable for dentures can also use orthodontics to close the gaps between missing teeth and achieve an aesthetically pleasing effect. For people whose teeth are too sparse or have gaps between them, the gaps between them can be concentrated through orthodontics, and dentures can be placed in the areas where the gaps are formed, which can also achieve the purpose of aesthetics.

Disadvantages of wearing braces:

1. During the correction process: it is very painful; it is inconvenient to eat, and sometimes it will cause scratches on the inside of the mouth. In addition, if you don’t brush your teeth at all times, food will stick to the metal sheet; it is not beautiful to wear a metal sheet.

2. After correction, the teeth will be a little loose. Be careful to eat less hard and sticky things to avoid destroying the effect.

It may be a little inconvenient to eat after wearing braces. You can cut the whole food into slices and eat it. It is best not to eat too hard food, as it will easily lift the wire on the braces and cut your lips. Wearing braces to straighten your teeth may cause some pain, but it is bearable and you will usually get used to it after a week.
