Why do you need braces

The main function of braces is to support and stabilize teeth. This is a must for those who have dentures or have their teeth corrected, because braces can prevent the corrected teeth from deforming and affecting the results of the correction. After teeth correction and wearing dental implants, you should first pay attention to your diet. You cannot eat hard food, and you cannot chew food on the day after the operation. Your diet should also be light.

Do I need to wear dentures after a tooth filling?

If the affected tooth has simple shallow caries, has not undergone root canal treatment, and has not touched the nerves and pulp tissue in the tooth, you only need to grind off the corroded tooth surface and fill it with appropriate medical materials. There is no need to wear dentures. If the affected tooth has deep caries and needs to have its pulp and nerves removed, in order to maintain the firmness of the tooth and prevent damage to the tooth due to excessive chewing force, the outer ring of the tooth needs to be polished down before a denture can be worn.

1. The main function of braces is to support teeth, increase tooth firmness and prevent splitting. The internal pulp tissue is gone, so the thickness can only be increased from the outer circle of the tooth. Cavities that require root canal treatment will become fragile due to the loss of nutritional supply to the tooth. In this case, braces are needed for protection, otherwise it will easily lead to the fracture of the filled tooth and the falling off of the filling material.

2. On the day of filling, you cannot chew food with the affected side of the tooth, because the medical filling in the tooth has not yet been completely integrated with the tooth. If you chew food, the filling will fall off. If you find that your braces are loose or your dental fillings are falling out, you should go to the dental hospital and ask the doctor about the situation in time to avoid giving in.

3. 2 to 3 days after the filling, you can eat the food that was not included in the tooth, but be careful not to eat hard foods, such as nuts. The newly filled teeth have limited endurance and are still very fragile. After having a filling and wearing dentures, you should go to the dental hospital for regular follow-up visits to let the doctor check the results of the filling and the use of the braces, and let the doctor make reasonable suggestions.

Note:

Wearing braces after a filling is to protect the affected tooth, restore chewing function, prevent the filling from falling off and prevent food from getting stuck. Therefore, wearing braces after a filling is very necessary. Wearing dentures after a tooth filling is like putting a layer of protective clothing on the teeth. Without the protection of the protective clothing, the tooth will be split due to external force. Of course, whether you need to wear braces after a tooth filling depends on the doctor's advice and the doctor's reasonable suggestions.
