Saving Your Natural Teeth Through Orthodontics
‘Saving natural teeth through orthodontic treatment’
Most dental treatments involve shaving a tooth down and filling it with something. Orthodontic treatment, however, keeps your natural teeth intact while moving them into position, which makes it possible to save your natural teeth and use them longer. In particular, when there are gaps between teeth, orthodontic treatment can close those spaces without extracting or shaving down any teeth — so your natural teeth stay undamaged and last longer.
Also, when a tooth has been missing and left untreated for a long time, the opposing tooth over-erupts (drifts down) or the neighboring teeth tip over and take up the space. This often means teeth have to be extracted or root canal treatment becomes necessary, which shortens the lifespan of your teeth.
A dental clinic should be a place that saves teeth, not one that pulls them — and your own natural teeth are the best teeth. Preserve your precious natural teeth with the tooth-saving orthodontic treatment of Yonsei Godeok S Dental Clinic.
