Although some people are born with tooth deformity, but because of parents do not pay attention to when they were young or other reasons, they missed the best time to orthodontic teeth.
Wait until adulthood, increasingly feel ugly teeth, want to correct teeth, but worry that old has been unable to correct.
So, is there an age limit for orthodontics, and can orthodontics be done in adulthood?
Can adults get their teeth straightened?
A growing number of adults say they miss out on the best orthodontics in their teenage years, only to discover the importance of clean teeth when it comes to finding jobs and making friends later in life.
Having good teeth is a good calling card for today’s adults and a bridge to successful communication.
In addition, adults are increasingly aware of the health risks associated with misaligned teeth.
Most people agree that adulthood is too late to mend.
Dentists point out that, in fact, adults can also be orthodontic, and there is no age limit, even if 40 is not too late.
Orthodontic treatment is possible for adults as long as their periodontal health is good.
Since the growth and development of adults have stopped, bone metabolism and alveolar bone remodeling are relatively slow, and the tooth movement speed is relatively slow. Therefore, the dental treatment time is longer than that of children.
But because of the high degree of cooperation of adults, the effect of adult orthodontics sometimes even exceeds that of children.
Orthodontics is about a lifetime and choosing the right time from childhood.
The common maxillofacial deformities can be divided into dental deformities and skeletal deformities.
And dental malformation is divided into general dental malformation and functional malformation.
Different types of deformity, the best correction time is also different.
General dental malformation: the best time to correct is the early permanent dentition, that is, 12, 13 years old or so.
Because at this time children have just changed teeth, and in the growth and development of the more vigorous time.
The best age for most fixed orthodontics is between 12 and 16 years old, and some dentists call this age the “golden age”.
Functional malformation: BECAUSE it often occurs in the replacement period, if the treatment is delayed, it may develop into skeletal malformation, so the best correction period should be in the replacement period, that is, 6-12 years old.
Children’S TEETH malformation: NEED early UNDERTAKE CURE, IT IS 3-5 YEARS OLD, BE LIKE “GROUND PACKAGE DAY”, BITE LIP, SUCK FINGER WAIT FOR BAD HABIT.
Adult orthodontic treatment: mainly to solve aesthetic problems, while improving the overall oral health conditions, having a charming, confident smile never has a time limit.
