How Should the Care During Orthodontic Treatment?

Oral care is no different than normal oral care during orthodontic treatment. However, it is important to use specially designed orthodontic brushes and interface brushes as there is more retention area where food can accumulate. Although patients often think that brushing will damage the wires or plates, with the right brushing technique and strength, the wires will not be damaged. Yes it can be fixed. While it is possible to correct spontaneously with habit prevention in the early period, there are different alternatives that can range from extraction-supported fixed orthodontic treatments to surgical-supported orthodontic treatment in the future. If the position of the impacted tooth is suitable and there is a necessary space, it can be replaced by removing the gum and bone above it. However, it may not be possible to maintain due to anatomical conditions and tooth position. In both cases, treatment (shooting or continuation) is essential. Because impacted teeth can cause resorption, pain and dentigerous cyst formation in the roots of adjacent teeth. To give a short answer to the question of whether there is an age limit in orthodontic treatment, there is no age limit. However, not every treatment can be applied at every age. Except for special cases, there is no need for treatment under the age of 7 years. These special cases include multiple tooth deficiencies such as cleft lip and palate and oligodontia.

The general approach is that early treatment is mandatory in cases where the jaw relations are broken (lower/upper jaw retardation or forwardness). For example, 8-9 years of age for upper jaw recessions and 11-12 years for lower jaw recessions constitute the ideal period. In the later stages of development, surgical-assisted orthodontic treatment is required to solve these problems (orthognathic treatment).Among the purposes of orthodontic treatment in adult patients; It is a shooting-assisted camouflage treatment, which is an alternative method applied to patients who do not want to receive surgical-assisted treatment with smile design and arrangement of tooth positions before lamina, bridge, and implant applications.

What are the Damages of Bracket Falling?

In addition to the economic costs, discoloration and sensitivities that may occur due to micro-scratches caused by repetitive roughening and cleaning processes on the tooth surface are the damages of bracket falling off. It is also possible to prolong the treatment period due to reasons such as the balanced transfer of the applied force due to the falling of the bracket / the deterioration of the mechanics. There are 3 commonly used reinforcement methods:

• 1-Hawley retainer
• 2- Essix retainer
• 3- Fixed retainer

While the first 2 devices are movable, the third is a fixed reinforcement method that is fixed behind the teeth. Considering the patient's condition before treatment, the appropriate reinforcement method is preferred. For example, while a fixed retainer is advantageous in a treatment performed due to tooth gaps; Hawley retainer may be more advantageous in a treatment for open bite. Although it may vary according to the patient and the treatment, it is important to use the apparatus day and night for at least 6 months. This period can be reduced with subsequent controls, but the use of plaque is not stopped all of a sudden. Serious relapses may occur if reinforcement therapy is not followed.

• Avoid consuming acidic and sticky foods,
• Controlled consumption of foods with a kernel (eg olive, plum, Çağla..)
• Instead of biting with the front teeth, it is important to feed it in small bites with the back teeth.
