YOGYAKARTA - Orthodontic treatment with dental braces is increasingly popular because in addition to serving to improve the aesthetics of the smile, but also improve the function of chewing and overall oral health. Many people assume that all dental conditions can be fixed with braces. In fact, the reality is not so. There are certain dental and oral conditions that make the installation of braces not recommended, postponed, or even impossible. Understanding about teeth that cannot be behel is very important so that patients have realistic expectations and can determine the most appropriate treatment according to their medical condition.

The Meaning of Dental Braces

Dilansir dari laman Oral Health, behel gigi merupakan alat yang digunakan untuk memperbaiki struktur gigi yang tidak rapi, misalnya gigi yang jaraknya renggang, saling bertumpuk,gigi tonggos(terlalu maju ke arah depan), dan memperbaiki permasalahan pada posisi rahang.

The types of dental braces are also very diverse, ranging from conventional dental braces, dental braces, transparent braces, ceramic braces, damon braces, and lingual braces. Doctors will usually recommend the right dental braces according to the needs of the teeth.

The installation of a dental splint can also cause the teeth to feel a little numb and sore for about a week. If the pain is getting more annoying, then the doctor may prescribe a medicine that is useful for reducing pain.

The installation of dental braces can also cause food debris to be more easily stuck, therefore the braces need more care so that the teeth remain clean. The roots of the teeth can also be shortened due to the pressure from the wire and the arrangement of the teeth may return to its original state if the release of the dental braces does not comply with the doctor's instructions.

The Reason Not All Teeth Can Be Braced

The braces work by applying gradual pressure to move the teeth to the desired position. This process requires the teeth's supporting tissues, such as the jawbone and gums, to be healthy and strong. If the supporting structures are problematic, then tooth movement can actually cause serious complications. In addition, the general health and oral hygiene conditions of the patient also play a major role in determining whether a person is eligible for braces treatment.

Some conditions require initial treatment before the behel is installed, such as a cavity filling, root canal treatment, or gum disease therapy. In certain cases, dentists or orthodontists will even suggest alternatives to behel, such as prosthodontic treatment or jaw surgery, for safety and optimal results.

Various Types of Dental Conditions That Cannot Be Beveled

The following are some types and examples of dental conditions that generally cannot be directly or completely attached to the splint:

Severe Gum Disease (Periodontitis)

Gum that has severe inflammation and bone erosion of the tooth supporting bone is the main contraindication for installing a splint. If the splint is forced, the teeth are at risk of becoming more wobbly until they eventually fall out. In this case, gum treatment must be carried out first and not all patients can return to orthodontic treatment afterwards.

Loose Teeth or Losing Many Teeth

Teeth that have been shaken due to trauma or certain diseases do not have enough strength to be moved. The splint is ineffective because there is no adequate support point to regulate the position of the remaining teeth in patients who lose many teeth.

Severe Caries or Active Infection

Teeth with large holes, infections, or abscesses should not be immediately attached to the wire. The pressure from the wire can aggravate the infection and cause severe pain, so the tooth must be treated or even removed first.

Jaw Problems That Need Surgery

In some cases of severe malocclusion, such as very misaligned upper and lower jaws, braces alone are not enough. This condition requires a combination of orthodontic and orthognathic surgery. Braces will not provide adequate results without surgery.

Very Thin or Broken Jaw Bone

Tooth movement requires a thick and healthy jawbone. If the jawbone has undergone severe resorption, for example due to the use of dentures for a long time, the installation of a splint can risk causing further damage.

Very Poor and Uncooperative Oral Hygiene

Patients who are unable to maintain oral and dental hygiene are at high risk of tooth damage during behel treatment. If the patient is not cooperative, the doctor will usually refuse to install the behel to prevent more serious problems.

Dental braces are an effective solution for straightening teeth, but not all dental and oral conditions are suitable for this treatment. Teeth that cannot be behelled are generally related to gum health problems, jaw bones, severely damaged teeth conditions, or severe jaw imbalance.

Therefore, a thorough examination by a dentist or orthodontist is very important before deciding to install a behel. Patients can find out whether a behel is the best choice or whether it requires safer alternative treatments and is in accordance with the correct diagnosis. This understanding will help patients maintain long-term oral health while avoiding unwanted risks.
