Recommendations for orthodontics

 

 

 

 

1.

Hospital selection for orthodontics

should be carefully considered.

In orthodontics, initial treatment planning is

important and it takes a long time to

complete the treatment therefore

you should choose a hospital and dentist

that you can trust.

It is possible to find qualified orthodontists

through Korean Society of orthodontics.

 

 

 

 

2.

It is important to get enough consultation

before treatment

Since the treatment method may vary

depending on the patient's condition,

it is important to have adequate consultation

on the treatment period, cost of treatment,

refunds due to discontinuation of treatment,

and so on and the side effects or complications

that may arise from the treatment

must be explained.

 

 

 

 

3.

 Follow-up after treatment is mandatory

After beginning the orthodontic treatment,

changes in the teeth condition should be

observed at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks,

and additional treatment may be required

accordingly.

 

 

 

 

4.

It is important to handle the risk early

when an abnormal symptom occurs.

If you experience symptoms such as

bruxism, pain, swelling, and jaw joint

problems during your orthodontic treatment,

you may need to visit the dentist and take

appropriate action early on, as it may affect

your overall orthodontic treatment.

 

 

It is advisable to see and judge

the effectiveness of the treatment over the long

term

Orthodontic treatment usually takes 18 to

30 months, and the duration of the treatment

may vary depending on the patient's dental

condition and oral care habits, the treatment

should not be discontinued due to short-term

effects.
