Patient's question:
The four lower front teeth and the six lower front teeth are weak. Can braces correct the weakness in both the upper and lower teeth? Is it possible to have facial paralysis after getting braces for an overbite?Doctor's answer:
Children and adults are different. For children, crooked teeth correction can be achieved through methods such as wearing braces or correcting bad oral habits. However, for adults, crooked teeth correction is not just a simple orthodontic issue. It often requires plastic surgery combined with conventional orthodontic treatment to achieve the desired results. Therefore, the cost of adult crooked teeth correction is generally lower than that for children.Before undergoing adult crooked teeth correction surgery, a series of preparations must be made, such as dental X-ray projections and dental plaster models. Additionally, the teeth must be matched and positioned according to the patient's appearance before the surgery is performed. The surgery is decided to be conducted inside the mouth to prevent scars from being left on the skin.
