Can glandular facies be corrected at 12 years of age?

Adenoid facies is still correctable at age 12 and should be treated for adenoid hypertrophy before cosmetic correction. 1. Adenomatosis is a chronic condition caused by the irritation of enlarged adenoids. Enlarged adenoids will block the airway, which will lead to sleep disorders, snoring and other symptoms, causing children to gradually develop thick lips, buck teeth or poorly aligned teeth, etc., and may also lead to jawbone deformity, which can be corrected generally before puberty. 2. When correcting adenoid facies, it is recommended to first go to the ENT department for the corresponding treatment of adenoid hypertrophy. In children, local excision surgery can be performed to remove the enlarged glands, thus ensuring clear breathing and a healthy respiratory system, and can help to improve the adenomatous face. After treatment of the adenoids, head braces and orthodontics can be considered to improve the appearance of the face. Glandular facies can worsen with age, so early treatment is recommended.
