Orthodontics at Herident: Correcting Protruding and Crowded Teeth

Protruding and crowded teeth not only affect aesthetics but also cause serious issues with chewing function and oral health. At Herident Dental Clinic, we have successfully treated numerous cases, restoring confident smiles and satisfaction for our patients. Join us as we take a closer look at the meaningful transformation journey of one of our orthodontic patients in this article!

Initial Dental Condition of the Patient Before Treatment at Herident

The patient came to Herident Dental Clinic with severe protruding and crowded teeth, significantly affecting both aesthetics and chewing function. The upper teeth projected excessively over the lower jaw, creating facial imbalance and reducing confidence in their smile. Additionally, the crowding caused teeth to rotate and misalign, making oral hygiene difficult and increasing the risk of plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease.

This condition not only hindered communication but also posed a risk of bite misalignment, potentially leading to long-term oral health issues.

Orthodontic Solutions at Herident

After a thorough consultation, the doctors at Herident Dental Clinic developed a detailed treatment plan tailored to the patient’s oral condition and specific needs. Each plan is carefully designed based on comprehensive examinations and assessments, ensuring both effectiveness and safety throughout the treatment process. 

Orthodontic Treatment Plan at Herident

• Bringing the Upper Front Teeth into the Correct Position:The main challenge in this case is the significant protrusion of the upper front teeth. To create sufficient space for retraction, the treatment plan includes tooth extraction—specifically, the removal of the upper first premolars (teeth #4). Additionally, two mini-screws (TADs) will be used as anchorage to maximize control and ensure the upper front teeth are moved into the desired position effectively. 
• Aligning the Lower Front Teeth:The lower front teeth have mild crowding, and while some may think extraction is unnecessary in this case, achieving a proper bite relationship between the upper and lower jaws would be challenging without it. Therefore, the treatment plan includes tooth extraction. But which teeth should be removed? After careful consideration of multiple factors, the doctor decided to extract the lower second premolars (teeth #5) to resolve the mild crowding and establish a proper occlusal relationship between the two arches.

After receiving consultation on the treatment plan and different types of braces, the patient chose self-ligating titanium braces. This option significantly reduces friction on the teeth, making the treatment process more comfortable and less painful.

Fitting braces

The process of attaching braces is meticulously performed in a treatment session lasting approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. The smart braces, with their advanced design, optimize force application and minimize friction. After placement, the archwire is threaded through the brackets with a self-ligating mechanism, ensuring stability and effectiveness from the very first stage.

Regular Monitoring and Adjustments

Every 6-8 weeks, patients have follow-up appointments to monitor tooth movement. Thanks to the self-ligating mechanism of smart brackets, adjustments are simpler and less invasive, ensuring greater comfort during each visit. The dentist carefully examines the tooth alignment progress and modifies the archwire force if necessary to keep the treatment on track.

Dedicated support in oral care and resolving any arising issues.

Customers are given detailed instructions on oral care, a soft diet, and how to deal with soft tissue irritation caused by braces. At each follow-up appointment, customers will be examined by orthodontists according to their treatment plan and receive regular dental hygiene services. The team of doctors and medical staff at Herident are always ready to support and accompany each customer throughout their orthodontic journey.

The Journey to Correct Overjet and Crowded Teeth at Herident Dental Clinic

Stage 1: Aligning All Teeth on the Dental Arch (2 – 6 Months)

The first stage focuses on expanding and creating space on the dental arch, allowing the teeth to gradually move into their correct positions. During this period, self-ligating brackets help reduce friction, ensuring smooth tooth movement with minimal discomfort for the patient. Typically, after **3 to 6 months**, noticeable changes in tooth alignment can be observed.

 Stage 2: Adjusting the Tooth Angles (6 – 9 months)

After the teeth have been aligned, the doctor will place mini-screws and pull the teeth into the desired position while closing any gaps. This process is crucial for establishing a proper bite foundation for the next stages. With smart brackets, the applied force is carefully controlled, ensuring steady movement without causing damage to the gums or surrounding tissues.

Stage 3: Final Bite Adjustment (Next 3-6 Months)

Đây là giai đoạn mang tính quyết định để cải thiện chức năng ăn nhai và sự hài hòa của khớp cắn. Bác sĩ sẽ tập trung vào việc đưa hai hàm vào vị trí khớp cắn lý tưởng, giúp giảm thiểu nguy cơ các vấn đề như mỏi hàm, lệch hàm hoặc đau khớp thái dương hàm sau khi chỉnh nha.

Stage 4: Maintaining Dental Stability for the Final 3-6 Months Before Removing Braces.

In the final stage, the braces remain in place to maintain the new position of the teeth, ensuring stable and long-lasting results. At the same time, the doctor guides the patient on using retainers after removing the braces to prevent teeth from shifting back.

Results and Feedback After Braces Removal

After following the planned orthodontic treatment, the patient achieved results beyond expectations. The upper and lower teeth were properly aligned, completely eliminating protrusion and crowding issues. The facial structure became more harmonious, and the smile appeared brighter and more confident. Chewing function was fully restored, allowing the patient to eat comfortably and effortlessly.

Not having to hide their smile or feel self-conscious during communication is what truly satisfies them. Especially, the comfortable experience throughout the treatment process at Herident Dental Clinic, from advanced technology to the dedication of the dental team, left a lasting impression.
