Pre-orthodontic treatments
======================================
Thinking about orthodontics, but not sure what to do before you start? Many people are surprised when they get to their initial consultation and the orthodontist gives them a dental treatment plan with the procedures they need before starting orthodontic treatment. You can avoid any unexpected prerequisites by reading this article and learning about the different types of dental treatments that may require braces or any other orthodontic device.
**What are the treatments before dental orthodontics?**
Pre-orthodontic treatments are dental procedures that patients sometimes need before starting their orthodontic treatment. Once diagnosed during the consultation, the orthodontist should inform you of any procedures you may need or have done prior to orthodontics or aligners.
### **What should be done before orthodontics or other orthodontic treatments?**
First of all, before starting orthodontic treatment, you should always see a real specialist. Only orthodontists are qualified and trained to create your dental treatment plan because they are experts in tooth movement. It is also important for your health to seek dental treatment from someone you can trust to follow medical protocol carefully.
### **Why is dental orthodontic treatment so important?**
To treat you, your orthodontist needs a healthy mouth, so a good diagnosis is essential. Choosing to start orthodontics is not a decision you should take lightly. It takes time and should be left to an expert who can guide you from start to finish.
Following the dental treatment plans prescribed by your orthodontist will ensure that you get the best results and also ensure that your teeth remain healthy and intact throughout the process.
Failure to follow the directions of your dental treatment plan can alter your results, so that your results are temporary or even worse, you don't see any results at all. Any of these results could potentially require additional orthodontic treatment in the future. Also, as we will discuss later, failure to properly follow the pre-orthodontic protocol prescribed by the orthodontist can put your health at risk.
#### **The most common types of dental treatments before orthodontics**
We have collected the most common dental treatments below:
**Cleaner for scale and polish**
Once you receive your diagnosis, your dentist may begin your dental treatment plan by recommending a cleaning appointment. It is recommended to brush and floss at least twice a day, but it is not enough to maintain oral health. There are hard-to-reach areas where plaque and bacteria can build up and eventually mineralize and turn into tartar.
Typically, scaling and polishing is recommended every 6 to 12 months. The treatment is quick and takes about 30-40 minutes.
Ignoring regular cleaning can lead to risks such as bad breath and serious gum problems that require more complex treatment.
Your orthodontist should always recommend a cleaning before beginning orthodontic treatment.
##### **Treatment of tooth decay**
Tooth decay is an infection that affects the enamel of the teeth and if not treated in time, it can affect the underlying layer or pulp of the teeth. So to treat this, we have one of the most common dental treatments, dental fillings. Filling is done to correct cavities and is divided into two types. Simple filling and composite filling.
Treating decay as soon as possible is essential to prevent more serious problems. When the tooth decay reaches the depth of the tooth, it should be removed and covered with a veneer. This is why orthodontists strongly recommend that you treat all cavities before beginning orthodontic treatment.
#### **Periodontal chart**
During your consultation, one of the things your orthodontist will test for is periodontal disease. If diagnosed, they should treat it before starting orthodontic treatment.
They first make a periodontal chart. A periodontal chart is a document that records the depth of periodontal pockets and is very important for checking pre-braces or aligners. The periodontal chart provides the possibility of diagnosing the health status of the patient's gums and preventing the failure of orthodontic treatment.
##### **Gum curettage**
After the list of the most common dental treatments, we have gum curettage. Gingival curettage includes the removal of tartar between the gums and teeth.
This dental method is superior to simple invasive scaling and time. It is done in several stages and requires regular examinations with an orthodontic specialist.
**pulling teeth**
If you suffer from severe crowding, your orthodontist may need to request the extraction of one or more teeth. By pulling a tooth, your mouth gains the space it needs to straighten the rest of your teeth. This operation is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia by a dental surgeon.
Tooth extraction can also sometimes include wisdom tooth extraction. If the wisdom teeth are still buried under the gums and not visible to the naked eye, X-rays can show their position and predict their growth. This tells the orthodontist whether or not it affects orthodontic treatment.
### **Can you make invisible aligners with wisdom teeth?**
For those of you wondering if you can get invisible aligners with wisdom teeth, the answer depends on your scan and the advice of a professional. The same applies to the pre-treatment of braces or any other orthodontic device.
In most cases, you will need to remove your teeth before you can align them. If you straighten your teeth first, there is always a chance that your wisdom teeth will no longer have enough room to grow and cause all your teeth to shift. In order to avoid compromising your results, consult with your orthodontist about what is needed in your case.
**X-ray**
Also on the list of things to do before getting braces, you will most likely need to have x-rays taken. X-rays help us show the position of the teeth and also detect any cavities or other problems.
**root canals**
Endodontics, commonly known as a root canal, is a dental procedure that some people need pre-braces, pre-orthodontics, or even if they don't seek orthodontic treatment at all. Root canals remove the nerve of a tooth when it is impacted by deep cavities or damaged as a result. Depending on the number of damaged roots, there are different types of endodontics.
###### **Fiber posts**
Usually after having a root canal, people get fiber posts to help repair the tooth. The posts are placed inside the root canals to provide support and strength.
**crowns**
The last item in the list of the most common types of dental treatment is veneering. This can be caused by several factors:
First of all, sometimes when the tooth has a larger opening after a cavity and it turns out that filling the tooth is not enough, we resort to using a veneer.
Next, some patients need veneers after a root canal. It is normal for the teeth to be weaker and therefore sometimes necessary.
So now you know everything you might need before starting orthodontic treatment. If you are looking to straighten your teeth with real professionals, contact us.
