Misa Orthodontics: Can Soldiers Get Braces Too?? We Recommend Clear Aligners.

Hello!

I’m Lee Juri, the chief director of Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic~~

Recently, through the blog comments,

someone asked:

I’m about to enlist soon.

Can I still get orthodontic treatment?

A lot of people want to use this period for orthodontic treatment, since military service lasts nearly two years!!

People who are currently serving in the military also visit Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic a lot during their leave~

Misa Orthodontics: Can Soldiers Get Braces Too?? We Recommend Clear Aligners.

I’ll explain the advantages of clear aligners that soldiers can also use!! Clear aligners are an orthodontic option that soldiers can use too!!

Soldiers need to consider several conditions and limitations when getting orthodontic treatment.

The biggest concern is having to visit the dental clinic during leave~

It can also be difficult to take leave during basic training!

Since the number of leave days is not many, many people worry about whether orthodontic treatment is possible while serving in the military...

In cases like this, I recommend the appropriate orthodontic treatment: "clear aligners."

As of 230909, the appliance is on, but you can’t see it at all, right?

Because you don’t have to visit often!!

With general orthodontic treatment, you need to visit at least once a month to check the appliance.

If it’s difficult to visit regularly during this period,

the treatment period can become longer~

Also, because of training and other factors, oral hygiene management is more likely to become difficult,

and even if there is a problem with the orthodontic appliance,

it is hard to respond immediately!!

For example, if the appliance pokes you...

or a bracket falls off... and so on~?

Then let’s look more specifically at why clear aligners are a good choice for soldiers!!

1. Fewer clinic visits,

Convenience that takes a soldier’s leave schedule into account

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, require dental visits at longer intervals than other orthodontic appliances.

The appliance is usually changed every 6 to 8 weeks.

Working adults, students, soldiers, and other patients who find it difficult to make time can still proceed without much burden.

However, since the treatment does not involve attaching brackets directly to the teeth,

patient cooperation is important.

If you do not wear the appliance properly,

it is difficult to see orthodontic resultsㅠㅠ

Still, since you can receive the appliances at home

(home -> then another delivery to the military unit is neededㅠㅠ)

and only need to replace the appliance when it’s time to switch,

it is advantageous for soldiers to combine military life and orthodontic treatment.

2. Not noticeable, so it does not interfere with military life

The biggest advantage of clear aligners is that they are not visible.

They can’t be seen from the outside~

Unless someone looks very closely, they probably won’t notice...

Because they are made of clear, thin plastic,

there is almost no discomfort even while wearing them.

3. Easy to manage meals and hygiene

I think this third advantage is the biggest one~

During orthodontic treatment, it is important to manage the hygiene of both the teeth and the appliance.

If food debris sticks to them,

cavities can easily develop~

The gums can also swell.

Because clear aligners are removable,

you take them out when eating.

This helps prevent food from getting stuck in the orthodontic appliance,

and since you can brush your teeth without wearing the appliance,

I think oral hygiene is easier to manage!

Compared with fixed orthodontic appliances..

During outdoor training, brushing may not be easy,

but in situations like that, clear aligners are really convenient~

4. Convenient management and faster treatment

In general, clear aligners have a relatively shorter orthodontic treatment period,

and because the appliance itself is simple to wear and replace,

it is easier to receive treatment.

Even if a cavity develops, treatment is possible as long as you remove the appliance~

With general braces, there are inevitably limitations before treatment and after treatment is finishedㅠㅠ

But clear aligners can address several improvement points at once!

Conclusion

Although soldiers may face many limitations when receiving orthodontic treatment,

clear aligners minimize those limitations

and make it possible to receive orthodontic treatment conveniently during military service!!!

If you look at the treatment process,

you’ll quickly understand why soldiers can also receive it~!

Since it reduces the number of clinic visits,

makes hygiene management easier,

and is not noticeable, so it does not interfere with military life,

if you are serving in the military, I recommend clear aligners~~
