Adult orthodontics need to pay attention to 4 aspects in the process of orthodontic treatment for adults, there are some problems that need to be paid attention to.
1. Aesthetic requirements: From the aesthetic requirements, adults pay more attention to the aesthetics of the lip area and the improvement of the overall appearance, which is very clean and symmetric upper incisors, the restoration of the midline of teeth, the coordination of the proportion under the face and the improvement of the smile line.
In adult orthodontics, some concealment methods are used to minimize the social impact.
If the shape and size of the anterior teeth are abnormal after the treatment, attention should be paid to repairing the shape of the crown and improving the relationship between the lips and teeth.
In the choice of appliance, also want to consider beautiful requirements as far as possible, can choose and dental color similar ceramic bracket, transparent resin bracket, etc.
2. Social psychology: adults’ orthodontic motivation and treatment mentality are more complex than children’s.
More sensitive to the opinions of those around you.
The effect of treatment outcome on patients’ mental health and social behavior is also more prominent.
Therefore, before treatment, it is necessary to fully understand the motivation of treatment, pay attention to the psychological observation before treatment and carry out specific interpretation work.
Patients with psychological disorders are advised to conduct psychological counseling as far as possible.
3. Principle of force application: the alveolar bone of adults is mostly absorbed, and the clinical crown grows, so we choose to use light force in the treatment.
In the initial stage of treatment, the use of light force can activate the activity of periodontal tissue cells, which is conducive to tissue remodeling.
In the future, with the progress of treatment, the force value will be gradually increased appropriately in order to obtain the most appropriate force of the individual.
4, the course of treatment and maintenance: adults for orthodontic treatment, because can actively cooperate with the treatment, sensitive to the reaction, can keep oral hygiene clean, so the course of treatment is often shorter than expected.
However, relatively speaking, the adaptive remodeling ability and bone metabolism ability of adults are not as good as that of adolescents, and the tooth movement is slow, and the reconstruction and adaptation time of perioral muscles is longer. Therefore, compared with adolescents, the duration of treatment and maintenance is relatively longer, and some patients may need lifelong maintenance.
