What Are the Different Types of Orthodontic Surgery?

Some people are afraid of surgery or pain during or after surgery. This surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia. Except for a slight tingling when the injection needle enters the skin and mucous membranes, it will never hurt during the operation (unless the anesthesia method is improper, but Can still make up for anesthetics and pain).

Loose teeth, lower alveolar bone, tooth decay

1. Preoperative preparation: To clean the teeth during surgical orthodontics, there should be no oral and dental discomfort such as oral ulcers, tooth decay, periodontitis, and pulpitis. Male patients with severe hair around the mouth should shave and shave, and women should avoid menstruation before performing surgery.

2. The expert talks with the patient to understand the basic situation.

3. Pre-operative filming: take a panoramic view of the alveolar tomographic X-ray to confirm the condition of the alveolar bone (this step may vary from person to person).

4. Pre-operative photography: pre-operative photography from the front and side.

5. Make a dental model: Take out a dental plaster model based on my teeth.

6. Preoperative computer 3D design: experts use computer 3D dynamic simulation design system to perform precise three-dimensional design based on X-rays, photos, dental molds, etc. The expert analyzes the status of the teeth and the surgical adjustment plan in detail, and follows the patient's jaw and teeth The best results of the postoperative results were obtained with the condition of the slot bone, and the stereoscopic image of the postoperative was accurately predicted to confirm the final surgical plan.

7. Sign the surgical agreement: the patient agrees to the surgical plan and signs the agreement.

1. Local anesthesia: The patient lies on his back and performs local anesthesia on the maxillary alveolar membrane and mucosa on both sides of the mouth. When doing infiltration anesthesia, antitumor agents can be added as appropriate to reduce postoperative swelling.

2. Tooth extraction: To perform tooth extraction according to the pre-operative design, it is usually the first bicuspid extraction of the upper and lower jaws. Different for each deformity and density of teeth.

3. Incisal alveolar bone: Cut the mucoperiosteal and gums in the extraction position. The operation is complicated and will not be described in detail.

4. Reduction of dental bones: With the dental bones fully moved, the deformed dental bones that have been moved can be rearranged neatly and reset to the normal occlusal relationship.

5. Tooth grinding and reshaping the face shape: restore the normal upper and lower teeth occlusion to make it symmetrical, coordinated, and increase the beauty.

6. Suture and fixation: Rinse the wound with normal saline and suture the soft tissue; adjust the dental bone block again, and after the dentition and occlusal relationship returns to normal, fix the adjacent space for 3 months.

7, pressure bandaging: most do not need pressure bandaging, a few people with bleeding conditions can be pressure bandaging for 1 day.

Except for a short period of postoperative wound pain (without taking painkillers), there is no obvious pain. Fear of surgery may be the case for everyone. In fact, after the operation begins, you can naturally eliminate such concerns.

1.On the day of the operation, you can add an appropriate amount of milk or yogurt,

Some dental and jaw deformities require early treatment (3 to 5 years old), such as "bad bag days", lip biting, finger sucking and other bad habits. However, when a child's general jaw deformity begins to erupt (8-10 years old), it is advisable to consult or check with an orthodontist. Because at this time, the permanent tooth eruption process of children can be observed early and regularly to find and solve problems in time. Most of the best age for fixed orthodontics is 12-16 years old, and some dentists call this age the "golden age".

Orthodontic treatment of patients with dentition should master the best timing of correction. The correction of children's wrong jaw has different specific analysis at different ages as follows:

1, deciduous period (3 ~ 6 years old). The purpose of correction is mainly to promote the bad oral cavity habits of the maxillofacial region, such as the front and back of the maxillofacial region of the child, mandibular prominence, and posterior teeth.

2. Tooth replacement period (6-12 years old). At this stage, local dentition irregularities may occur, and generally there is no need to rush to correct, but for anterior teeth reverse jaw, functional mandibular retraction and abnormal relationship between the upper and lower jaws need to be corrected in time.

3. Permanent teeth period (12 years old ~). Permanent dentition begins to form around the age of 12. At this time, the teeth will not disappear once the dentition is irregular. It can only be corrected by the orthodontic specialist's orthodontic treatment. This period is the most common treatment of dentition in children In the best period, the effect is the best, and all kinds of dentition can be corrected.

Orthodontics technology is developing rapidly. Not only adolescents start orthodontics, but adults also begin to correct. But because adult teeth have stopped growing, corrections can be difficult.
