What should I do if my molars are missing for a long time and my surrounding teeth are displaced?

Hello:

In any regular stomatological hospital, "orthodontics" and dentition defect restoration are generally recommended as the first choice. This scheme is the best scheme, and it is indeed the most troublesome scheme. The overall treatment cycle is more than 2 years, and the cost is more than 10,000 yuan. It is true that many doctors will suggest a simple restoration (porcelain crown), but it must be pointed out that this is an inappropriate scheme for the following reasons-

1. It is confirmed that the teeth near the teeth have moved, and there is a disorder of "occlusion" (pronounced he, two sounds), which will lead to temporomandibular joint diseases for a long time. A simple porcelain crown requires extensive polishing and modification of oblique teeth, and may also be "nerve-killing". It is difficult to judge the final result, but it does cause damage to the adjacent teeth without major problems;

2. Dental implants and porcelain crowns are false teeth, so the periodontal care must be strengthened in the future, and the overall repair cost is not cheap, but the operation period is slightly shorter.

To sum up, orthodontics should be the first choice, and its biggest advantage is that it can adjust the arrangement and contact of the whole mouth teeth, eliminate the phenomenon of "occlusal disorder" and solve the problem of tooth loss. Even if the result is not satisfactory, there is still the possibility of choosing other schemes. These should at least be carefully considered by you, even if you give up the plan. Choose what is your right, just don't let yourself regret it later. You can ignore the advice given by others, including what I said.
