Sangil-dong Station Orthodontic Side Effects — Be Sure to Learn About Them and Know How to Deal With Them!!!

Hello~

I’m Lee Juri, the head doctor at Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic haha

Orthodontic treatment creates aligned teeth and helps improve function.

All treatments have side effects!!

Even double-eyelid surgery, one of the most common procedures among Koreans, has side effects too~

Sangil-dong Station Orthodontic Side Effects — Be Sure to Learn About Them and Know How to Deal With Them!!!

Today, let’s look at the side effects that can occur during orthodontic treatment and how to prevent them.

What side effects can orthodontic treatment have?

1. Root resorption

Root resorption refers to the phenomenon in which the roots of the teeth gradually become shorter during orthodontic treatment.

The root means the tooth root.

The shorter the tooth root, the shorter the tooth’s lifespan.

(Because it becomes easier to loosen~)

On the other hand, the longer the tooth root is, the stronger it is!!

Orthodontic treatment moves the tooth roots, and if excessive force is applied, the chance of this happening increases.

That is why treatment must be done while controlling the proper amount of force, and the tooth roots should always be checked through regular X-rays!

2. Gum recession

As teeth move due to orthodontic treatment, the gums can recede, and gum recession may occur, exposing the tooth roots.

If the tooth roots are exposed, contact with cold water may cause sensitivity!

In severe cases, as the gums recede, empty spaces can form, and this is called a "black triangle."

For prevention, it is important to check the health of the gums before orthodontic treatment and to undergo regular scaling during treatment

so that gum recession and lowering can be prevented!

3. Temporomandibular joint disorder

You may wonder, what does orthodontic treatment have to do with the temporomandibular joint? But during orthodontic treatment,

as the position of the jaw changes, strain can be placed on the temporomandibular joint.

As a result, the jaw may make sounds or pain may occur,

and in severe cases, opening or closing the mouth may become difficult.

Before orthodontic treatment at Sangil-dong Station, we carefully examine the condition of the temporomandibular joint, and if discomfort is felt during treatment, jaw treatment is carried out together!!

4. Increased risk of cavities and gum disease

When orthodontic appliances are worn, food particles and plaque can easily get trapped between the teeth, increasing the likelihood of cavities and gum inflammation.

You really need to brush carefully~??

Clear aligners are somewhat better...

In the case of fixed appliances, brushing is difficult, and after orthodontic treatment ends, many cavities often appear.

That is why interdental brushes and floss must be used during orthodontic treatment!!

How to manage risks to minimize orthodontic side effects

If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it! There is a famous saying like that~

Patients who take good care of themselves have completed orthodontic treatment without side effects~

You should regularly visit the dental clinic to check the progress, and thoroughly manage oral hygiene with brushing, floss, interdental brushes, and more.

Proceed with orthodontic treatment while considering temporomandibular joint health. Find a dental clinic with extensive experience!!

If anything happens, consult the dental clinic!!!

(It’s the most important)

Orthodontic treatment is a beneficial treatment that creates a beautiful smile and helps improve chewing function.

Sometimes, if care is insufficient, side effects can occur, so you know that sufficient consultation before treatment is essential, right??

Avoid dental clinics that say, "We’ll make it pretty no matter what!" or "We’ll make it 100% like that!"

I hope you visit a Sangil-dong Station orthodontic clinic that mentions possible side effects and explains how they can be handled,

and with that, I’ll wrap up here.

Thank you!!!
