Can orthodontics be done after dental implants?

Dr. Yao Qiang, DEBE Dental Implant Doctor, pay attention to your oral health! There are always things in life that cannot have both, such as some patients who want to do dental correction after dental implantation due to some external factors that cause other teeth to be irregular. However, after going to the hospital for examination, the doctor gave an objection and did not do dental correction. This is to let a lot of patients doubt, implant teeth after it is not possible to carry out dental correction, if insist on doing dental correction will not have side effects?

Debe implant doctor Yao Qiang told us that for implant correction, we must first understand a principle of implant and dental correction, so as to judge whether they exist in the mouth at the same time.

Principles of dental implants:

Through medical methods, pure titanium metal with high compatibility with human bone is precisely designed to form a screw-like shape, and then implants are surgically implanted into alveolar bone. After the implants and alveolar bone are tightly fitted, the crown is installed, and the implant is completed.

Principles of Dental Correction:

Orthodontics is a physical reconstruction process, through the external pressure to the teeth, so that the teeth move towards the predetermined direction, the compressed alveolar bone will undergo alveolar bone resorption, and the other alveolar bone will be reconstructed. Under the action of new bone deposition and external force, the tooth is moved from one position to another until the force stops.

Through the above comparison, it can be clearly seen that dental implants are to stabilize the teeth, while dental correction is to make the teeth move, which will produce certain conflicts, so it is said that dental implants are normally done, and dental correction is generally not recommended. Of course, some patients try to try the state, which will lead to the appearance of falling off symptoms of dental implants, it can be said that dental implants can lose their due role.

There is also an option to remove the implant first, then perform dental correction, and wait until the dental correction is completed to see whether the implant is needed according to the actual situation. Some tooth missing problems are compensated for after the dental correction, and there is no need to do the implant later. If the implant does not affect the orthodontic treatment, avoiding the implant and then orthodontic treatment is also a feasible way.

Dr. Yao Qiang, a dental implant doctor in Debe, said that the best case for dental correction is to perform the whole mouth, so as to avoid the symptoms of improper biting in the later period, which will eventually lead to the reappearance of tooth deformity. However, the specific situation still needs to go to the hospital, after the corresponding examination can be more clear, the doctor will carry out the corresponding plan according to the oral condition.
