Do I Really Need Orthodontic Treatment at an Orthodontic Clinic in Gangdong-gu???

Hello~

I’m Lee Juri, the chief doctor at Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic!

There are many people who come to the clinic because they want orthodontic treatment on their own, but there are also many who are unsure.

Because of side effects... And there’s nothing uncomfortable right now.. Do I really have to do it...?

Do I really need orthodontic treatment at an orthodontic clinic in Gangdong-gu???

Beyond cosmetic improvement, reasons why orthodontic treatment is needed

I’ll explain in 3 minutes!!!!

In fact, many people worry about this!

Reasons to consider orthodontic treatment

It takes a long time, and it costs a lot.. It seems like it would be inconvenient...

Could this... just be unnecessary?

If you can chew well and don’t feel the need for it, that may feel even more true.

In cases like this, orthodontic treatment is necessary!!!

Let’s think together about how many of these apply to you~~~

Your teeth overlap like crowding and make brushing difficult	​
Your pronunciation is unclear or feels like air is escaping	​
Your mouth often gets sore, or you bite your gums while chewing	​
Your lower jaw looks like it sticks out forward	​
You always keep your mouth closed when taking photos	​

If two or more of the items above apply to you, we recommend getting an orthodontic consultation!!

This is because it is connected not only to cosmetic reasons, but also to functional issues, gum health, and the lifespan of your teeth!!

I’ll explain with a simple example from a patient who visited the orthodontic clinic in Gangdong-gu!!!

Chewing works fine, (You may not have any discomfort when eating food~~)

But today’s patient had the upper and lower front teeth biting in reverse!

Normally, the upper teeth cover the lower teeth, but this was the opposite~~~

This type of bite is called a crossbite.

It makes it difficult to properly perform the function of cutting food, and the teeth can chip or be damaged as they contact each other.

It can also lower confidence in appearance, and because the teeth are not aligned evenly, the risk of cavities and gum disease is also higher.

This patient also had another issue.

The canines were not functioning properly.

They’re very sharp, almost like Dracula’s teeth, right?

Simply put, these are crowded canines.

Textbook-wise, this is called a high canine.

If you have teeth like these Dracula teeth, an unstable bite can form.

This may sound a bit difficult, but teeth do not only chew up and down.

They also move side to side!

At this time, the function of the canines is very important!!

Canines have very long roots, so they also last a long time,

and when they protect the other teeth from side forces, this is called canine-guided occlusion, and it is considered the most stable bite.

Reasons orthodontic treatment is needed

That is why it is necessary to form a proper bite!

If the teeth do not fit together properly, jaw joint or muscle pain can easily occur.

Not only does it look unappealing cosmetically, but unfavorable force is also placed on the jaw joint, so it can become painful easily!!!

Crooked teeth make brushing difficult, making them more vulnerable to cavities and gum disease.

Also, if there is a lot of space between the front teeth, or if there is spacing, it can improve pronunciation.

If the teeth are properly aligned, force is distributed more evenly, which can even extend the lifespan of the teeth!!

Orthodontic treatment is one treatment method that can extend tooth lifespan.

Many people think it is only done to look better, but orthodontic treatment is also necessary for functional reasons and for the patient’s oral health.

It is also one treatment method that can extend the lifespan of your own teeth, which you may use for decades to come.

If you are considering orthodontic treatment, think carefully about why you want it and what you want to improve ㅎㅎ

Thank you!
