Canine teeth create charm for the smile of anyone who owns them, so whether braces can keep canine teeth is a matter of concern for many people. Braces can completely keep canine teeth when oral health can be guaranteed as well as the standard bite ratio.
1. What is the role of canine teeth?
Usually, each person’s teeth are divided into 4 small groups including: incisors, canines, premolars and molars. In which, the canine tooth is located at position 3 in the canine group, which has the role of biting and tearing food. For each person, the shape and size of this type of tooth will be different, but it usually grows at the age of 12 – 13 years old during the permanent teeth growing process.
According to the concept of each culture of different countries, the meaning of the canine tooth will also be different. In Western countries, they often consider this tooth as a manifestation of evil spirits, not bringing luck to the owner as well as their relatives. Meanwhile, Eastern countries highly appreciate the charming beauty of the canine tooth. People with canine teeth are considered to be able to bring luck, happiness and also create a better impression when smiling.
In terms of expertise, dentists all believe that they are just canine teeth that grow abnormally and have many potential risks affecting oral health.
2. Can braces keep crooked teeth?
Cranny teeth bring charm and attraction to anyone who has them, so many people still want to have braces and keep their crooked teeth. With the development of modern dentistry, this is completely possible. The doctor will examine and make a specific treatment plan to determine the condition of the teeth that need braces. Then, based on the aesthetic need to keep the protruding teeth, orthodontic braces will be attached to all teeth except the protruding teeth.
However, you should still note that the first and most basic purpose of braces – orthodontics is to align the bite, improve chewing function as well as protect oral health. When all these factors are ensured, then the aesthetic factor can be continued to be perfected.
3. Do protruding teeth cause any effects?
In fact, protruding teeth can cause some of the following effects:
3.1. Regarding oral health
When the protruding tooth is tilted up too much, it will create a gap between tooth number 2 and tooth number 3. Food is easily stuck in this hole and is very difficult to clean. If it stays in the mouth for a long time, it will cause an unpleasant odor. Over time, this location will gradually become a favorable environment for bacteria to grow, develop and attack the gums and teeth, causing oral diseases such as gingivitis, periodontitis, tooth decay, etc.
3.2. About chewing ability
Protruding teeth that grow outward will cause chewing and tearing of food to be impaired. Food is not crushed before entering the stomach for a long time, causing the digestive system to work harder than usual. This can cause some diseases such as stomach pain, digestive disorders, etc.
3.3. About the bite
Protruding teeth cause the adjacent teeth to be pushed deeper, causing misalignment and misalignment of the bite, and the correlation of the two jaws is not harmonious. In addition, teeth that protrude outward are often vulnerable to strong external impacts, causing breakage or pain.
4. Effective methods of braces for protruding teeth
Customers can choose one of the following methods to perform braces for protruding teeth:
4.1. Traditional braces
Traditional braces use a system of archwires and brackets made of ceramic or metal that are fixed to the teeth to create a tightening force to help the teeth move to the desired position. The archwire will be fixed to the bracket slots with orthodontic elastics or steel threads. This method can bring high efficiency in a short time thanks to the stable, continuous force and very reasonable cost. However, the brackets are very easy to come off at this time and require many visits to the dentist for adjustment.
4.2. Self-ligating braces
Similar to traditional braces, self-ligating braces also come in two types: ceramic or metal. They work the same way as traditional braces, using the tightening force of the archwire to help the teeth move to the desired position. The difference is that the archwire is fixed on the bracket slot by an automatic sliding cover system. This structure allows the archwire to slide freely in the bracket slot, automatically creating a tightening force to match the movement of the teeth. Therefore, customers do not need to visit the dentist regularly for the doctor to adjust the tightening force.
4.3. Invisalign clear braces
Invisalign clear braces are an orthodontic method that applies the most modern and advanced technology today. The archwire and bracket system will now be replaced with a high-quality transparent plastic braces tray. Combined with a design that fits snugly and closely to the dental arch, the braces tray becomes almost invisible when worn, providing high aesthetics throughout the orthodontic process.
The material of the braces tray has also been tested to be safe, benign and does not cause any danger to oral health. In addition, the smooth surface will also protect the soft tissues in the oral cavity from damage when not yet used to the braces in the beginning.
