During this time, the Winter Olympics can be called the hottest topic, in addition to the top stream: ice pier, the popular player Gu Ailing is also very hot, I don't know if you watch the game, have you noticed, Gu Ailing's mouth, biting a braces-like thing, after the game, this thing will hang on her chest, what kind of artifact is this?
Recently, many attentive viewers found that during the game, Gu Ailing bit a brace-like thing in his mouth, and after the game, it hung on Gu Ailing's chest, and learned from the dentist that this is indeed a brace, but not for correction, but a brace, which is usually made of relatively soft silicone, in addition to the teeth, the entire head can be protected.
Wang Haiying, chief physician of the Department of Stomatology of Hangzhou Red Society Hospital, said: "In the process of movement, the teeth are generally clenched, and the external force will be uploaded, sometimes resulting in fractures of the maxilla, if the maxilla is fine, it will spread to the brain, resulting in concussion, through the tooth guard braces, even if the upper and lower teeth are bitten, there will be gaps in the middle, and the external forces received can be dispersed in all directions of the teeth." ”
Take skiing as an example, in the case of relatively fast speed, if the skier accidentally falls, the instantaneous impact is extremely large, if there is no tooth guard braces, under the huge impact force, the light teeth are broken, and the tongue may be damaged in severe cases, and even the jaw fracture, the tooth is knocked into the bone, etc. According to the doctor, at present, dental braces are mostly used by professional athletes, and the general population is almost rarely used.
So, is it true that the general population does not need braces? Doctors revealed a set of data: nearly one-third of the surgical emergency departments related to the mouth every year are caused by sports injuries, and if you wear dental braces, the injury is entirely possible to avoid.
Wang Haiying, chief physician of the Department of Stomatology of Hangzhou Red Society Hospital, said: "There are many basketball bumps, and roller skating bumps, all from the chin, because a forward force will bump to the mandible, light mandible here broken, soft tissue rupture, heavy fractures, teeth broken, displaced, very much." ”
Like orthodontic braces, braces are also in the hospital, customized according to the specific structure of each person's mouth.
