How Can I Correct My Crooked Teeth?

Dental misalignment can be corrected through the use of removable orthodontic appliances, wearing braces, cosmetic crowns, orthognathic surgery, and cultivating good habits. Here are some methods:

Removable orthodontic appliances are generally used for children in the alternating period of deciduous and permanent teeth, suitable for children with mild dental misalignment. Early use of removable orthodontic appliances to correct teeth can block the abnormal growth and development of teeth, allowing them to grow normally. Removable orthodontic appliances can be removed at any time, which is very convenient.

Brace correction is a traditional method of correcting teeth through the use of wire braces, commonly known as dental braces. Brace correction has high requirements for teeth, and it is usually more common for minors to choose braces for tooth correction.

Cosmetic crown correction is suitable for adults. It does not require wearing braces, but mainly achieves the purpose of correcting teeth and making them more beautiful through medical enamel restoration of the original teeth.

If dental misalignment has caused skeletal deformation, orthognathic surgery may be necessary. Orthognathic surgery first requires orthodontic treatment to align the teeth, followed by correction of abnormal jaw bones.

In daily life, poor habits such as neglecting oral hygiene can affect the health of teeth, causing various dental diseases, and leading to dental misalignment. Therefore, it is important to cultivate good habits, such as cleaning teeth every day and avoiding using teeth as tools.
