Anchorage nail When we are doing plastic surgery, we often hit a bone nail to correct our teeth. Generally, if the teeth are deformed or protruding seriously, we need to make an anchorage nail. Many people are afraid of the pain of anchoring.

Does nail protection hurt?

There's no harm in finding an anchorage. It can be said that tooth extraction is like being cut and pricked by a needle compared with anchorage. Implanting anchorage nails on bones and relying on the strength of bones to move teeth to the position we want greatly improves the efficiency of orthodontics. Because there are not many pain nerve endings distributed in alveolar bone, there is no obvious pain after anesthesia subsides, and there is no bleeding and no contraindication after anchorage implantation.

The difference between nailing and not nailing

Anchor nail, also known as implant nail, bone nail, etc. Its main function is to make the modified teeth move, while the unmodified teeth do not move. Not every tooth in our mouth is crooked. We can use an antibody to make the moving teeth move as much as possible and the teeth that should not move as little as possible, so that our correction can get twice the result with half the effort. However, not all orthodontics need an anti-nail, which depends on the doctor's plan.

Function of anchor nail

1. Correct the protrusion, and use antibodies to retract the front teeth to the maximum extent and close the extraction gap.

2. depress the upper front teeth to reduce deep overbite or prevent occlusion from deepening.

3. Lowering the lower anterior teeth and reducing the overlap are beneficial to the improvement of the ground cover.

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

What is an anchor?

Micro-bone nail, referred to as bone nail, is a temporary micro-implant implanted into alveolar bone. Because of its superior function and simple implantation, it has become an increasingly popular orthodontic auxiliary tool in recent years. After correction, the bone nail will be removed and the space between the bone nails will heal itself. Research reports at home and abroad show that bone nails can help orthodontic treatment safely and effectively. Its function is to provide a fixed force source to help tooth extraction. It has a good effect in correcting protruding teeth, exposed teeth, deep bite, excessive eruption of molars, and the need for dentition to retreat, which can achieve the effect that traditional correction can not achieve. In orthodontic treatment, it is an important factor to achieve high quality and successful orthodontic treatment that the moving teeth and the teeth that should not be moved do not move.

Cleaning after nailing can not be ignored

After the implant nail is implanted, it needs to be cleaned reasonably, and the part of the implant nail exposed on the mucosal surface should be cleaned consciously with a soft brush during daily brushing. If the cleaning is not good, the planted nails may loosen and inflammation may appear around the nails, so don't neglect the cleaning work!
