What are the uses of support nails and when do they need to be used?

Many people care about the beauty of teeth. Now that medical technology is so advanced, there are many ways to correct teeth. Many people have undergone dental cosmetic projects to make their teeth look better when they smile.

1. Lip protrusion, tooth extraction correction, use anchorage pins to retract the front teeth to the greatest extent to close the extraction space, so that the profile is significantly improved.

2. Lower the upper front teeth to reduce the overbite or prevent the bite from deepening.

3. Lower the lower front teeth to reduce overbite and help improve the overbite.

4. Move the back teeth forward and close the gap.

5. Vertically tilted posterior teeth.

6. To intrude the long-term lost posterior teeth to prepare for their restoration.

Implant nails have a good therapeutic effect on patients with more severe bone deformities.

1. Need to retract the front teeth: For patients with protruding teeth, implant pins can retract the protruding front teeth;

2. Need to move the back teeth forward: Some patients have a good mouth shape, but there is a large gap between missing teeth, and the back teeth need to be moved forward to close the gap;

3. Need to lower the front teeth:

① Patients with gummy smile need to use implants to lower the upper front teeth and shorten the height of the gums;

② Patients with deep overbite need to have implants inserted to push down the upper front teeth, which can reduce the degree of deep overbite and prevent the bite from deepening;

③ For patients with crossbite, implants can be used to lower the lower front teeth and improve the overbite;

4. The back teeth need to be lowered: This is common in patients with missing teeth. The teeth on the opposite side of the missing teeth are over-elongated and need nails to be driven in to lower the opposite teeth and provide space for dental implants.

5. Upright individual teeth: upright the teeth that lie horizontally;

6. Correction of ectopic teeth: Help individual teeth that are not in the queue to return to the queue.

We usually implant the support nail into the oral cavity at a speed of 2000 revolutions per minute. The speed is extremely fast and local anesthesia will be performed. You will not feel pain during the insertion process. You may feel pain within the first week after the anesthesia wears off. It is recommended not to brush the support nail with a toothbrush in the first few days, but you should also pay special attention to oral hygiene. You can use mouthwash in the morning and evening to keep the mouth in a relatively hygienic environment.

Bone screws should also be cleaned with a toothbrush to maintain the health of the surrounding soft tissues and reduce the chance of inflammation and loosening. A few people may feel a foreign body sensation in their oral mucosa. If necessary, you can cover the bone screws with white wax or put on a rubber band to relieve discomfort. Of course, not everyone needs bone screws for correction, but if you encounter them, don't worry too much!
