What is orthodontic treatment

Orthodontic treatment is treatment that straightens teeth.During treatment, various devices are used to straighten the teeth.
If you have teeth and problems, you can't brush your teeth enough, and you're more likely to get cavities and periodontal disease.
In Europe and the United States, it is common to receive orthodontic treatment from childhood.Of course, orthodontic treatment is also possible for adults.

Invisalign

A new orthodontic treatment that no one notices

In orthodontic treatment, it is generally necessary to attach a device called "bracket" to the teeth, but the drawback is that it is conspicuous.
However, since Invisalign does not use metal fittings and only uses transparent mouthpieces, it is difficult to see that you are correcting your teeth, and you will hardly notice it. "I gave up on orthodontic treatment because I was worried about my appearance..." This is the perfect treatment for you.

You can eat with the mouthpiece removed

When wearing general orthodontic appliances, it was easy for stress to accumulate, such as refraining from foods with strong adhesiveness (rice cakes, gum, etc.) and restricting the content of meals.With Invisalign, you can remove it yourself when you eat, so you can enjoy your meal freely.
In addition, it can be removed for important business meetings or dates with important people, so it is very effective when you need it most.

Reduce burden during hospital visits

With conventional appliances, the teeth are moved by gradually adjusting metal wires, but with Invisalign, you only need to replace the mouthpiece device, so there is no need to adjust the wires each time you visit the hospital. It takes less time.

Pediatric orthodontics (XNUMXst stage treatment)

This treatment starts in the lower grades of elementary school (around XNUMX to XNUMX years old) when baby teeth are replaced by permanent teeth.

[Case 1]
Deep bite (mixed dentition stage)
The lower jaw has receded, but it is difficult to notice from the front, and it is often not felt to be dishonest.
[Case 2]
Permanent dentition without improvement treatment
Due to growth, the lower jaw is further retracted and does not mesh properly, and the front teeth protrude excessively.
[Case 3]
opposite occlusion
Matching is opposite.
There are cases where the mandible is overgrown and the maxilla is underdeveloped.
The mandible often protrudes as the child grows.
[Case 4]
crowd
Due to reasons such as a small jaw or large permanent teeth, there is no space for them to erupt, so the teeth do not erupt in the normal position and become uneven.

If you have any of the above symptoms, you should seek orthodontic treatment.

In such cases, we mainly use removable devices (but not all, depending on the symptoms) to control bone growth, widen the space, restrain the jaw from protruding, and restore the bite to a good position. is the floor correction.

Basically, this treatment is performed during the mixed dentition stage (when baby teeth and permanent teeth are mixed), which is the stage of bone growth.If there is improvement in this first-stage treatment, it may not be transferred to the second-stage treatment.Even in cases where tooth extraction is necessary for orthodontic treatment after becoming an adult, there is a high possibility that treatment can be performed without extracting permanent teeth if orthodontic treatment is performed during childhood.
Backbite and protruded teeth are often caused by abnormalities in the jaw, and in order to improve them in adulthood, there are cases in which surgery to cut the jaw is necessary to cure them.Since bone (jaw position) control can only be done during the growth period, an accurate diagnosis is necessary.

Even if you don't care about your child's teeth alignment (buck teeth, reverse teeth, crooked jaws, etc.), see a dentist who understands pediatric orthodontics. It is important to start the first stage treatment, so if you are concerned about the alignment of your child's teeth, we recommend that you consult early.

Full-scale orthodontic treatment/adult orthodontic treatment (XNUMXnd stage treatment)

Orthodontic treatment that begins when the permanent teeth have erupted.

About the multi-bracket system

This is the most common treatment method in which a device called a bracket is attached to the surface of the tooth and a wire is used to move the tooth.It can be applied to all kinds of treatments such as sockets, protruding teeth, and crowding (uneven teeth, double teeth).A visit to the hospital about once a month will guide you to the normal alignment of your teeth and bite.

About implant anchors

Implant anchors are small, screw-like devices that are embedded in the gums to move teeth.

By embedding an artificial material into the bone, it is possible to secure a stronger fixation source and move multiple teeth at the same time.In general orthodontics, the back teeth are usually used as a fixation source, but if the front teeth are pulled with a wire, the back teeth will move at the same time.In conventional orthodontics, the back teeth are used as anchors to align the teeth, so there is a direction in which the force cannot be applied to the teeth. It is now possible to exert power in the direction of

About medical expenses deduction

Did you know that dental treatment costs are eligible for medical expense deductions?
If you have paid medical expenses for yourself or your family, as a general rule, those who have paid 10 yen or more in a year will be eligible for tax return, and a part of the tax will be refunded.

Medical expense deductions are available for the cost of orthodontic treatment, such as orthodontic treatment for malocclusion, when orthodontic treatment is deemed necessary in order not to hinder the growth of a child who is still in the developmental stage.However, even if it is the same orthodontic treatment, there are cases where the cost for beautifying the appearance is not eligible for the medical expense deduction.

Outpatient expenses for medical treatment are also eligible for medical expense deductions.If the child is too young to go to the hospital without the mother's attendance, the mother's transportation expenses are also included in the hospital fee.For outpatient expenses, be sure to keep a record of the amount, as well as to be able to confirm the date of the outpatient visit with a patient registration card, etc.Medical expenses are recognized as expenses for personal services when using transportation, so for example, expenses such as gasoline and parking fees when going to the hospital by private car are eligible for medical expense deductions. not.

In addition, when using a dental loan, it is possible that the patient does not have a receipt from the dentist. Please prepare a copy of the document or a receipt from a credit company.
