Hello, I’m someone who has been in orthodontic treatment for 1 year and 9 months (I was told I need to do it for about 2 years and 6 months) I think I considered orthodontic treatment for a really long time, because the side effects can be that big, and when you look at reviews later there are lots of comments like all your teeth will fall out~ But rather than living with my teeth in their current state ㅠ I wanted to get orthodontic treatment and live prettier and more comfortably, so I did it
When choosing an orthodontic dental clinic, don’t visit only one place; go to at least 2-3 places and get consultations!! Hospital consultation tips! -Search whether they are an orthodontic specialist -Look for real reviews (orthodontic treatment cafes) -Check whether they have many patients (if there are few patients, they could close during your treatment) -Check whether they do not extract too many teeth (the more teeth are extracted, the more side effects can occur later)
I had 2 premolars and 2 wisdom teeth extracted Originally, before orthodontic treatment, my teeth were in this state: 4 snaggle teeth, protruding mouth (it stuck out so much that I slept with my mouth open), malocclusion, a lot of gum showing when I smiled, and a retruded chin But now, at 1 year and 9 months, my mouth is gradually going in, and I’m so satisfied with my straight teeth ㅠㅠ I even hear that my face has gotten smaller as the sides around my jaw have reduced, and my face shape changed from oval? to egg-shaped ㅠㅠ If orthodontic treatment works this well, I should have done it at a younger age! I regret that,..
Side effects from orthodontic treatment? Other than my teeth feeling a bit sensitive when I brush with cold water..? I haven’t had any so far
If you have any questions, leave a comment and I’ll answer as much as I know When I finish orthodontic treatment, I’m planning to upload before-and-after photos too!
