Of course. More painful.

Orthodontic precautions (very important);

Orthodontics generally needs to wear braces (braces) for 2 years, during which it is more painful and the teeth are weak, so you can only eat soft things. If the teeth are not very ugly, it is recommended not to do it. If you must do it, you must be prepared for more than three and a half years of pain. Wear 1 year and a half to 2 years retainer after removing braces. It will eventually rebound a little. The face shape will be improved.

The best correction time is when the permanent teeth are completely aligned, that is, in adolescence. The older you get, the longer it takes you to do orthodontics and wear a retainer.

Because of the long time, we must go to the provincial and municipal stomatological hospitals or people's hospitals to find an expert with the title of deputy chief physician or above, so that he can do it from beginning to end without changing doctors. Never go to a small clinic. Some private oral advertisements are hype, but in fact, the turnover rate is very high, and doctors often change jobs, which is not insurance. It is recommended to go to a large public hospital, where doctors have stable jobs and generally do not change jobs or find new doctors.

Before orthodontics, it is recommended to wash your teeth thoroughly. Because it is easier to grow dental calculus during orthodontics.

It is inconvenient to wear braces to brush your teeth, and it is easy to leave a sanitary corner, which will lead to dental caries and dental calculus. Many people suffer from tooth decay during orthodontics. Therefore, special attention should be paid to oral hygiene during orthodontics. It is strongly recommended to use fluoride mouthwash after each meal during orthodontic treatment, which can effectively remove sanitary dead corners and dental calculus and enhance tooth texture. Do not use medicinal mouthwash. Use high-quality fluoride toothpaste.

After removing the braces, you should also wash your teeth thoroughly.
