How much does it cost to straighten a tooth in Dongguan? The cost of orthodontics varies depending on age and the severity of the occlusal relationship. For correction in early childhood, the basic cost starts at 10,000 yuan. Generally speaking, the price of 10,000 yuan is for general brackets, and if you choose a self-locking bracket, it will probably increase by about 3,000 yuan. If there are special requirements, such as invisible orthodontics, or ceramic orthodontics, the price may be higher. For adults, the price of orthodontics is 12,000 yuan, while the price of invisible orthodontics is 30,000-50,000 yuan. If there is a more complex occlusal relationship, dental implant support is required, and orthodontic treatment is required in the later stage, and the cost will also increase. Correction is done around the age of 12, which can save some money and also achieve good treatment.

　　One. What is the appropriate age for orthodontic treatment?

　　12-15 years old is the appropriate age for orthodontics, and other age groups are acceptable. When you are 12-15 years old, it is the early stage of permanent teeth jaw building, most of the baby teeth at this time have fallen out, replaced by permanent teeth, the body metabolism at this time is very fast, and the bones are also growing rapidly, so the orthodontic treatment at this time will not have any rebound after the correction, so this time is appropriate. Orthodontics can be done at other ages, but it takes longer, is painful, and there is a risk of rebound after the correction is completed.

　　Two. Can I use an electric toothbrush to straighten my teeth?

　　In the process of orthodontic treatment, bacteria and food debris on the teeth will increase due to the action of aligners, so you can brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush. Electric toothbrush is the use of motor to drive the brush head to rotate, increase the friction between the brush head and the teeth, to achieve the cleaning of the teeth, because the motor drive force is very large, so in the early stage of orthodontics, if you do not grasp the strength and angle, it may lead to the aligners falling off, loosening, and even may lead to gum bleeding, so, in the early stage of orthodontics, do not use electric toothbrushes.

　　Three. What are the orthodontic treatments?

　　Improper tooth alignment, growth deformities, or large gaps between teeth can be corrected through surgery, braces, or cosmetic crown correction.

　　1. Surgical treatment: If the tooth is deformed due to bone causes, it can be corrected by orthognathic surgery.

　　2. Wear braces: If it is caused by odontogenic causes, you can wear metal wires, fixed braces or invisible braces. This treatment needs to be worn for a long time before it can be used to straighten your teeth.

　　3. Dental crown reconstruction: This orthopedic method is currently a relatively advanced dental orthopedic method. This method is to combine 3D digital positioning technology with a specific treatment method. It can improve the aesthetics of the teeth, and improve the face shape and bite relationship to a certain extent.

　　Oral hygiene should be done at ordinary times, if surgery has been done, it is necessary to protect the wound to avoid infection and inflammation, eat a light diet, and avoid eating raw and cold hard food, otherwise it will affect the teeth.
