Many people feel that the price of orthodontic treatment is very expensive, is not a wire thing, in fact, orthodontic treatment is really not as simple as you think, if so simple to need a professional dentist to do what, besides orthodontic treatment of the teeth before you also need to do some checkups, preparation, how much it costs, it depends on the dental hospital medical equipment and technology:
Pre-orthodontic checkups: previous systematic Medical history, drug history, allergy history, oral history, social behavioral history, systemic status assessment, intraoral examination, oral hygiene status, oral pathology, oral soft tissue examination, oral function analysis, facial soft tissue, X-ray analysis, model analysis, etc.
Many people have asked the price of orthodontic will be surprised how so expensive, that is because at present people are still stuck in the The reason for this is that people are still stuck in the traditional concept of "orthodontic cost = material cost". Doctors sell experience, technology, craftsmanship. Not the materials! It takes about 10 years to become an orthodontist who can do the whole process on his own, while it takes only five minutes to buy a full set of orthodontic equipment!
The orthodontist must not only be proficient in the treatment of the oral cavity, but also have a strong aesthetic concept, but also depends on the clinician's professional restorative theory, standardized operation, the correct design, and the technician's close cooperation. Orthodontic need many steps, but they have the same point is to be rigorous and careful:
1, pre-corrective examination: previous systemic history, drug history, allergy history, oral history, social and behavioral history, systemic status assessment, intraoral examination, oral hygiene, oral pathology, oral soft tissue examination, oral function analysis, facial soft tissue, X-ray analysis, model analysis, etc., these are all Just the initial analysis of the need, after the initial analysis may have to be supplemented by a number of ancillary tests ...... you still think that the initial examination is simply to take a film?
2, orthodontic program design: orthodontics is to make you healthy and beautiful, which requires orthodontists to have expertise in aesthetics. And orthodontist this time to do is to how to make your facial one-third more harmonious, smile more natural and good-looking, orthodontics is not simply let your teeth look neat on it, but also consider facial aesthetics, smile curve.
3, "simple" on the bracket: bracket bonding process is not complex, but there is a key step is not visible to the patient: bracket positioning and the application of force, according to the doctor's experience to accurately position, which is directly related to the final orthodontic effect. The positioning of the brackets should be considered from a three-dimensional direction: proximal, distal, vertical, and its own angle, which needs to be accurate to the millimeter, not just glued on so simple. Only when the brackets are precisely positioned can we hope to get beautiful, coordinated and functional orthodontic results.
The orthodontic treatment can be accompanied by a lifetime, give you confidence, so that you can always bloom smile, what price charge? Buy a leather jacket can spend thousands of dollars to be beautiful for three to five years, buy an iPhone to spend thousands of dollars to use for 2-3 years, but orthodontic treatment is beautiful for a lifetime, how much are you willing to spend?
Orthodontics is a slow, gradual movement of our teeth or bones through the orthodontic appliances, after the movement of tissues occurs, the appliances and archwires act on the teeth and bones under the force of the weakening, so it is necessary to regularly review the application of orthodontic force until the end of orthodontics.
The time of follow-up is calculated by the dentist according to the regularity and periodicity of tissue remodeling after the orthodontic force is applied when the orthodontic plan is made, and the on-time follow-up can ensure that the cycle of tissue remodeling is not interrupted, and the continuous and stable movement of teeth can be completed, thus guaranteeing that orthodontics is carried out smoothly.
If the patient is early for follow-up, the orthodontic force interval is short, the periodontal tissues will be damaged due to frequent force; if the follow-up is delayed, the orthodontic force interval is long, and the strength can not be adjusted in time, and the teeth will be forced to be intermittent, and the cycle of the tissue remodeling will become longer, which will lead to the prolongation of orthodontics, and may even affect the effect of orthodontics.
In addition, in the orthodontic process is not sure what will happen in the unexpected situation, the patient on time follow-up, the dentist can understand the patient's situation in a timely manner, and can take timely and appropriate auxiliary means of treatment, to reduce the adverse effects caused by the unexpected situation.
