Orthodontic nail

Well, this kind of nail is an anchorage nail developed after the relatively mature implant technology in oral surgery, which is used in orthodontics.

What is Anchorage? When we are doing orthodontics, if we want a tooth to move in a certain direction, we must exert a force on it, which is called orthodontic force; In order not to move, the tooth itself will inevitably produce a reaction force equal to and opposite to the orthodontic force; The anchorage we are talking about is a device that can resist the reaction of orthodontic force.

There are three types of anchorage: intramaxillary anchorage, intermaxillary anchorage and mandibular external anchorage. Maxillary anchorage is: for example, your teeth burst, hehe, it is protrusion. Pull a rubber band between your front teeth and your back teeth, so that the front teeth can be adducted. This back tooth is the maxillary anchorage at this time. Intermaxillary anchorage means that if you want to pull the upper teeth back and tie the rubber band to the mandibular posterior teeth, this is intermaxillary anchorage; Mandibular external anchorage is an anchorage device placed outside the mouth, but this kind of anchorage device is movable, which needs patients to wear it consciously and affects the appearance. Patients are generally reluctant to wear it, so doctors will not choose this one.

Then why didn't the doctor choose intermaxillary anchorage or intermaxillary anchorage for you? There is a simple reason. Tie the front teeth and the back teeth together. When the front teeth move inward, your back teeth may also move forward. This process is called anchoring loss. And your back tooth is in a good position. Why do you want it to move forward? Only in some special cases, such as the posterior teeth themselves are relatively backward and need to move forward, will this kind of intra-jaw or inter-jaw anchorage be used.

The implant anchorage that the doctor asked you to do is similar to the dental implant technique. It is punched in the mandible, which is relatively stable and will not move with the backward movement of your front teeth. It can still be removed after orthodontics, which is very convenient and easy to use! It's not because the teeth are not big enough. On the contrary, it is to keep the gap between tooth extraction. The back teeth move forward, occupying your extraction space!

I don't know where you are. The cheapest tooth planted here may cost more than 6000 yuan. Therefore, if the implant anchorage 1000 yuan, the price is still acceptable.

Don't think it's good to tidy your teeth. The most important thing is to keep them. Stick to it for two years! And pay attention to adjust the occlusal relationship! In this way, your orthodontic effect will be lasting and stable, otherwise it will easily recur!

Finally, I hope you can meet a good orthodontist who can make your teeth not only beautiful, but also practical! Ha ha!
