This is an automatically translated article.


Braces are a mechanical orthodontic solution that helps bring irregular, misaligned teeth to the correct position on the jaw. So is it possible to brace only 2 front teeth? This article will help you answer the question above.

1. Common defects in 2 front teeth


Braces help overcome the conditions of protruding, underbite, misaligned, crooked teeth to help them become straight and standard bite. These defects are not only used to describe the teeth, but they are also used to talk about the condition of the two front teeth.
Misaligned incisors :
2 incisors do not grow in the arch and overlap or interfere with the positions of other teeth. This greatly affects the aesthetics of the whole face and reduces the chewing function of the front teeth.
Protruding incisors:
Similar to protruding jaws, the two incisors tend to protrude more than the other teeth on the arch. In case of severe protrusion, it will cause the upper and lower incisors to have the wrong contact point when chewing, leading to difficulty in biting and tearing food. At the same time, protruding front teeth also make your smile much less charming.
Sparse front teeth :
This situation is quite common when the 2 incisors grow not closely but are separated by a distance. If you chew hard foods, there is a risk of food getting stuck in the gap and hurting your gums. In addition, sparse incisors also greatly reduce facial aesthetics.

2. Can only braces on 2 front teeth be ok?


When the other teeth on the jaw are relatively equal but the two front teeth are misaligned, can the two front teeth be braced? According to orthodontists, braces on two front teeth are not recommended because it is not very effective but also has the risk of shifting the remaining teeth.
The jaw is a unified whole, so moving the teeth in this position will affect the teeth in adjacent positions, even the whole teeth. The teeth are in the standard form of the bite, but it is possible that because of the braces on the two front teeth, they become misaligned. This will directly affect the chewing ability of both teeth and can make the face unbalanced due to misalignment of the bite.
If the braces on the front teeth are misaligned or the braces on the two front teeth are misaligned, it will also make braces more difficult later. Need to adjust the bite and the whole teeth, so it will take a lot of effort, treatment time and cost is also much more expensive. Therefore, when visiting the dentist, the doctor will recommend braces for the whole jaw to achieve the highest orthodontic effect, restore chewing function and facial aesthetics.

3. Braces for 2 front teeth with which methods?


Thus, braces need to be done at the same time with all other teeth on the jaw. At this time, you can choose effective methods being applied at reputable dentists such as braces, clear braces.
Both of these methods can treat cases of protruding, underbite, misaligned, sparse, crooked teeth, but transparent braces are still the preferred method, because:
Transparent braces achieve aesthetics. High aesthetic helps you confidently communicate in all cases. Applying the most modern Invisalign technology, transparent braces are highly effective and shorten treatment time compared to braces. Because the aligner tray can be easily removed, it makes it convenient for the braces person to eat and clean their teeth, helping to prevent diseases such as tooth decay, gingivitis, etc. When transparent braces are also avoided. The condition of the brackets rubbing against the lips and cheeks causes pain when braces.
