According to Dr. Hai Anh (Deputy Head of Dean of Odonto -Stomatology - Hospital 198 Ministry of Public Security) shared, he encountered many cases after braces have returned to find a doctor for reasons such as coral teeth, thin slots orCrooked teeth return.However, most people do not understand the cause of these conditions after braces.
Relapse after braces is a fairly common condition after the end of the orthodontic process.Although the teeth have been achieved, as beautiful as they want, if they do not comply with the instructions of the doctor, the teeth can gradually return to the original position.This not only affects the aesthetics but also has many other implications.
So, the braces are finished but the braces are due to recurrence, the cause is the cause?
Dr. Hai Anh pointed out that there are 6 main reasons as follows:
Braces for 3 years, now must be braces
Firstly, after the braces are complete, the maximum cage condition or standard bite.
Coral teeth, crooked teeth, deviated teeth are manifestations of the wrong bite.The task of the dentist after the braces is to set up the standard bite joint in the maximum cage state.It is possible to limit recurrence after braces.
The second is due to the maintenance of the jaw.
Many people wonder how long the time to wear the jaw is enough.Dr. Hai Anh said that the time to wear the jaw maintained at least double the braces time.For example, if you braces for 2 years, you need to wear a function for 4 years.There are cases that need to wear longer, even to wear for life.
The third is due to periodontal tissue (elastic tissue, fiber tissue).
For example, your tooth is rotated 45-90 degrees, when rotated, the tissue will stretch according to the braces.Therefore, after the braces are finished, the jaw must maintain enough time, even if the doctor must cut off the old periodontal ligament so that it will set up a new periodontal ligament, ensuring to avoid being rotated or recurrent.Back after braces.
Fourth, the late growth of the lower jaw bone.
Typically, the upper jaw bone will be stable in advance, the lower jaw bone continues to grow until 19-20 years old.Some braces finished before that time, some time later, the lower jaw could lead to relapse after braces.
Thursday due to wisdom teeth.
Wisdom teeth can also be the cause of relapse after braces in case after stable braces, new wisdom teeth grow.This causes crowded behind, pushing your teeth first.
The sixth is due to neutralization.
The teeth are located in the middle, the outside is the lips and cheeks.For big tongue, wide jaws are shouted, when pulled in without the maintenance jaw, it will be relapsed again.In some cases, the incorrect jaw is also relapse after braces.
