First, there are many kinds of materials for orthodontic braces, and the prices of different materials are different. At present, the materials of braces available to users in stomatological hospitals are metal and ceramics, and the braces of each material also have the effect of invisibility and invisibility. Metal braces, the most common and commonly used material, are powerful, effective and durable, but the disadvantage is not very beautiful; Ceramic braces, also known as ice crystal braces, are white fixtures added on the basis of metal. They are semi-invisible and very suitable for girls to choose. Disadvantages are easy to slip, not easy to wind, and because of the aesthetic effect, the price is relatively high. There is also a kind of fully transparent braces, which is generally used in the later stage of plastic surgery and plays a fixed role. This kind of braces will make the mouth feel protruding, but the advantage is that it is completely transparent and very beautiful. This kind of braces has a post-reinforcement effect. Compared with the first two kinds of braces, it has no great effect, so the price is not high.

Second, orthodontic braces need regular follow-up, and with the improvement of the situation, rubber bands and other AIDS are added. The reason why we think orthodontic braces are expensive is not only the difference in material selection, but also the addition of many medical procedures, which also costs money. This is a whole process, so the overall cost is very high. Every user who needs orthodontics needs to do two kinds of scans of the head and upper and lower jaws to determine the orthodontic operation plan, then decide the extraction and departure of teeth according to the scans, then reverse the dental model, put on orthodontic braces, make a follow-up visit once a month, replace the fixed materials on each tooth, and then wrap the thread. If the joint needs to be closed later, it is necessary to lift the ribs in parallel or staggered up and down to achieve a neat effect. After the initial effect is achieved, it will be fixed for a long time with fully transparent braces. It should be reminded that from the beginning of orthodontics, users should insist on brushing their teeth five times a day, before breakfast, after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner and before going to bed, and choose a series of products, such as special toothbrushes, dental floss and dental wax. These are all necessary lessons for orthodontic users, and it is a long process. During the follow-up visit and replacement of fixed materials, extra fees are required, so the overall price will be high.

Third, orthodontic users will have symptoms such as occlusal atrophy and increased oral sensitivity in the early stage. Occlusal muscular atrophy is generally due to the comprehensive effect of tooth extraction and braces left in the mouth, commonly known as? Hold your face? If it's called sequela, it's too serious and can only be said to be a symptom. Just because the upper and lower teeth are different from before, the facial senses will generally be long face, slightly concave temples and prominent cheekbones, but now with the occlusal stick and facial massage technology, the braces face will not be like this forever. If you insist on treatment, the middle and late stages will not exist, which is why you choose the best age for orthodontics at 17 or 18. Because you are young, the loss of collagen is not very fast, and your recovery ability is very strong. Basically, there will be no braces. As for the symptoms of increased oral sensitivity, it varies from person to person, and insisting on using anti-allergic toothpaste will greatly improve.
