How to stabilize a loose tooth
Loose teeth can generally be stabilized using methods such as periodontal splints, bonded splints, or orthodontic archwires.
Periodontal splint: This method involves wiring the teeth to a splint for stabilization. However, it requires a longer procedure time and offers poor comfort.
Bonded splint: This technique uses resin to bond a splint and stabilize loose teeth. It provides better aesthetics and improved comfort.
Orthodontic archwire: The archwire is placed along the tooth surface and bonded with resin following the contour of the teeth. This method is suitable for cases with significant tooth mobility and displacement, and it can also help improve occlusal relationships.
