Treatment Considering Aesthetics

Our teeth play a wider role in daily life than you might think.

They are not only used for chewing, but also serve an aesthetic function.

Depending on the person, the shape and form of the teeth can differ.

If the teeth are uneven, a person may unconsciously cover their mouth when speaking or smiling.

This can become a source of self-consciousness without them realizing it, and covering the mouth in this way can affect the aesthetic aspect as well.

Because of uneven teeth like this, many people have recently been considering orthodontic treatment, and receiving treatment at Sinchon Orthodontics can help not only with aesthetic concerns but also with restoring dental function.

In the case of orthodontic treatment, it is a treatment that not only straightens misaligned teeth but can also improve functional aspects of the teeth.

If malocclusion is present, it can affect not only tooth alignment but also the harmony of the jaw and face.

If malocclusion is present, it can make it difficult to pronounce clearly, and biting strength can also decrease, affecting function.

In addition, oral care becomes more difficult, making it easier to be exposed to cavities and gum disease, and during the growth period it can also affect breathing and facial development.

Malocclusion refers to a condition in which the teeth are not aligned neatly or the way the upper and lower teeth fit together is outside the normal range.

If malocclusion is present, it can cause not only aesthetic problems but, as mentioned earlier, functional discomfort as well.

There are various causes of malocclusion. It can occur if the jaw is too large or too small from birth.

Also, if there is a habit of thumb-sucking or if baby teeth fall out too early, spaces can form and lead to malocclusion.

Because the upper and lower teeth do not fit together properly, chewing activity may not receive enough force, which can also lead to indigestion.

In addition, because it causes pronunciation problems, various inconveniences can arise in daily life, and in severe cases it can even lead to temporomandibular joint disorders and facial deformity.

In particular, for young children, this malocclusion can affect jaw and facial growth, so careful observation is important.

Malocclusion is broadly divided into four types.

If all the upper teeth protrude forward, it is called maxillary protrusion.

If the upper and lower teeth fit together in reverse so that the lower jaw teeth protrude forward, it is called mandibular protrusion; teeth that are not in the correct position or direction are called crooked teeth.

These can be classified as conditions such as midline diastema, where the gap between teeth is abnormally wide, and it is important to receive appropriate treatment depending on the type.

To treat malocclusion, orthodontic treatment can be considered. Orthodontic treatment is dental treatment that moves teeth to correct misaligned dentition.

Before orthodontic treatment, it is important to carefully consider several factors. First, a treatment plan should be established through a precise diagnosis before treatment.

Therefore, if you are considering orthodontic treatment due to malocclusion or similar concerns, it is advisable to determine whether experienced medical staff are present and whether an accurate diagnosis is prioritized.

At the Sinchon Orthodontics clinic, medical staff with specialist qualifications in orthodontics, certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, provide appropriate treatment tailored to each patient.

Through sufficient consultation with the patient before treatment, they identify the patient’s concerns and carry out orthodontic treatment so that the teeth and face can achieve harmony.

In addition, because the doctor in charge does not change from the initial consultation through diagnosis, treatment, and aftercare, patients can receive orthodontic treatment according to the plan.

In orthodontic treatment, post-treatment maintenance is important. Even after treatment ends, the Sinchon Orthodontics clinic helps prevent recurrence through regular checkups.

In addition, only genuine materials are used for treatment, so the risk of appliance breakage and detachment is relatively low.

In the past, metal braces were commonly used, but because they were less aesthetically pleasing, Invisalign can be considered if aesthetic appearance is a concern.

Invisalign is a transparent plastic orthodontic appliance made to fit the individual using digital 3D computer simulation, allowing the path of tooth movement to be predicted.

Also, the appliance can be removed voluntarily when needed, and it is more hygienic than conventional appliances and makes brushing easier, so it can be used conveniently.

For patients who have difficulty visiting during the day, evening care is provided until 9 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday, so please keep this in mind when visiting.
