Orthodontic process with braces

Whether teeth are healthy or not is not only related to a person's physical health, but also to a great extent affects a person's appearance. Due to the lack of relevant dental knowledge, many people do not know what the specific orthodontic process is, and do not know what to pay attention to. Here we will solve everyone's related confusion. Let's talk about this issue specifically. I hope it will be helpful to friends who are planning orthodontics!

Orthodontic process with braces

1. Blood test, venous blood draw

What is the purpose of a blood test? In some more formal dental hospitals, doctors will ask patients to undergo routine blood tests and two-and-a-half liver function tests before orthodontic treatment. This is what the patient will ask, I am having oral surgery, why do I need to have my blood tested? The purpose of blood tests is first and foremost to help orthodontists understand the patient's overall health and screen and rule out blood system diseases. In this way, the orthodontist can make a correct diagnosis and develop a treatment plan based on the patient's specific situation. At the same time, for certain special patients, appropriate measures can be taken during treatment to reduce the possibility of them encountering danger during treatment. A second purpose of blood tests before treatment is to screen for hepatitis B. my country is a country with a high incidence of hepatitis B. In order to prevent cross-infection of hepatitis B during medical treatment, medical institutions at all levels in my country attach great importance to its transmission routes.

1. Take dental X-rays

At least two X-rays must be taken before correction. One is a curved surface film, which is used to check the number and shape of teeth and the health of all tooth roots. You can also see the condition of the joints. The other one is specific to correction and is called a lateral cephalogram. This film is very important. It can be said that a regular orthodontist must see this film and must analyze it before correction. Without this film, there is no treatment plan and it is impossible to start correction.

3. Take photos of your teeth

The doctor will take pictures from the front, 45° side, 90° side, two pictures at each angle, one picture of the mouth in its natural state, one picture of a toothy smile, and pictures of the teeth from all angles.
