Clinical Case: The 2-Year Orthodontic Journey at Herident

Orthodontics today is not just a solution to improve appearance, but also plays a key role in enhancing oral health. A well-aligned set of teeth optimizes chewing function, reduces the risk of gum disease and cavities, and helps prevent jaw pain or malocclusion. Let’s explore the transformation journey at Herident through the following clinical case to better understand this.

Overview of the Patient's Condition Before Treatment at Herident

Ms. Đ.P.T came to the clinic with an underbite and gaps in her lower teeth, and the upper dental arch was not round and even.

These are common issues that can lead to serious impacts on both oral health and facial aesthetics. Some negative effects include:

• Underbite: This affects chewing function and facial aesthetics.
• Difficulty in Chewing and Digestion: An underbite reduces chewing efficiency, making it difficult to grind food, which then impacts the digestion and nutrient absorption process.
• Increased Risk of Tooth Wear: Unevenly distributed chewing forces cause uneven tooth wear, weakening the teeth and increasing the risk of cavities.
• Speech issues: An underbite can hinder clear speech, especially in children, leading to self-consciousness in communication.
• Pressure on the Jaw Joint: This condition can lead to jaw pain, muscle fatigue, or even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
• Aesthetic Impact on the Face: An underbite disrupts facial symmetry, causing an abnormal protruding chin, resulting in a "cleft chin" appearance and an unnatural smile.
• Gaps in Teeth: Gaps between teeth not only affect aesthetics but also pose potential oral health issues. When teeth don’t fit closely together, food can get stuck, creating an environment for bacteria to grow, leading to cavities and gum disease. Additionally, gaps hinder speech and reduce chewing efficiency, affecting digestion and overall health. If untreated, gaps can cause malocclusion or more complex issues, requiring long-term and expensive orthodontic intervention. Early orthodontic treatment not only improves the smile but also protects overall oral health.
• Crooked Arch: In this patient’s case, the upper dental arch was crooked, with the front teeth leaning inward, worsening the underbite.

The Orthodontic Treatment Process at Herident

Stage 1: Consultation and Treatment Plan
Every orthodontic journey at Herident begins with a thorough and detailed diagnostic process. We use modern X-ray technology, analyzing films, soft tissues, and bite details to fully understand the patient's dental condition. Based on this, the doctors proposed a 2-year corrective treatment plan, focusing on aligning the bite, balancing the dental arch, and ensuring the best possible overall result.

Stage 2: Implementing Orthodontics
In the treatment phase, Herident applies advanced orthodontic techniques, from fitting brackets, periodic adjustments to support solutions like mini-screws or smart wires, ensuring comfort and optimal results. 

The Herident team works closely with patients to care for their oral health and monitor progress, minimizing inconvenience and ensuring the expected orthodontic outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does orthodontics hurt?

During orthodontic treatment, you may experience slight discomfort or soreness in the first few days after the brackets are fitted or the wires are adjusted. However, this discomfort usually decreases after a short time. The doctors at Herident always strive to use gentle techniques and guide patients on how to effectively reduce pain.

How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?

The duration of orthodontic treatment depends on each person’s dental condition and the treatment method chosen. Typically, treatment may last from 12 to 24 months, or even longer for more complex cases. The doctor will assess and provide a specific estimate during the consultation.

How much does orthodontic treatment at Herident cost?

The cost of orthodontic treatment at Herident varies depending on the complexity of the case, the type of braces, and the supporting devices used. We will provide you with a detailed price list and flexible payment options after the consultation.

Will the results of orthodontic treatment last forever?

Orthodontic results are not permanent unless you follow the doctor’s instructions. After the brackets are removed, you will need to wear retainers as directed to keep the teeth in place. Regular check-ups are also essential to ensure that the teeth do not shift back.
