What are the advantages and disadvantages of wearing braces

Braces are used to fix teeth and correct them so that they can be reshaped and aligned. It is usually used by children with dental deformities, such as overbite and severe malocclusion, who need to wear braces for correction in time. Generally speaking, it is better to choose comfortable and easy-to-remove braces, which can not only correct dental deformities, but also make teeth beautiful, help clean teeth, prevent caries and oral inflammation, and make the face shape more beautiful. However, it is inconvenient to eat after wearing braces.

Benefits of wearing braces:

1. Correct the occlusal relationship. Misaligned teeth lead to unbalanced bite force, which not only causes tooth wear, but also makes the teeth more likely to loosen and fall out prematurely. Orthodontics can help normalize the tooth arrangement and bite relationship, which has a good effect on the teeth.

2. It is beneficial to the maintenance of periodontal cleaning and health. Orthodontics can make teeth more neatly aligned and make cleaning easier, thus preventing tooth decay and periodontal disease.

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.

While wearing braces, you should pay attention to follow-up visits. If you experience any swelling or pain, or if your braces are loose, be sure to inform us. You should also keep your teeth healthy and clean. Brush your teeth in the morning and evening, and after meals. Do not eat hard or sticky foods to avoid damaging your braces. If you don't have the conditions to brush your teeth, you can chew gum, which can help clean your mouth and strengthen your teeth's bite.
