Orthodontics, orthodontics, orthodontics, orthodontics, orthodontics, how to choose?

Hello, there are three treatments for oral protrusion: extraction orthodontics, non-extraction orthodontics and orthognathic orthodontics.

Before choosing the treatment method, it is necessary to make a clear diagnosis, that is, to find out whether you are simple buck teeth or have mandibular retrusion (PS: most patients with buck teeth have mandibular retrusion). This is because different oral ostomy treatments are different.

First, orthodontic tooth extraction: mainly to solve the protrusion of the upper teeth, not the retraction of the lower jaw. It is that the face and side can't be solved, and you can only close your lips normally. Orthodontics for patients with wide cheekbones may aggravate the visibility of cheekbones, so we should choose this scheme carefully.

Second, non-extraction orthodontics: mainly through the extraction of wisdom teeth, combined with implant anchorage to make the upper teeth adduction as a whole, the main function is to align teeth, which can slightly solve tooth protrusion. The advantage of this method is that it can protect the patients' forehead saturation and cheekbones from being too wide, but it is ineffective for mandibular retraction and the solution of protrusion is limited.

Third, orthognathic orthodontics combined treatment: For patients with ugly profile and mandibular retraction, the ideal treatment plan is "preoperative orthodontics-orthognathic surgery to correct face-postoperative orthodontics", which can correct face and occlusion at the same time. However, orthognathic surgery requires general anesthesia and has certain risks. Moreover, the cost of surgery is relatively high, which requires the support and serious consideration of the whole family.
