70% of our children’s teeth are not aligned Usually, there are 3 types of teeth misalignment. First, the teeth are crowded and confusingly arranged; second, the upper jaw protrudes, commonly known as “creeping teeth”, which can lead to serious lips can not be closed naturally; third, the lower jaw protrudes or upper jaw retracts, which is commonly known as the “ground bag sky”. The Chinese Dental Association has conducted a survey of about 25,000 children and adolescents, and found that 70% of them, to a greater or lesser extent, have the problem of misalignment of teeth.
However, it is not that they all have to do orthodontics, as long as there is no impact on the aesthetics, there is no functional problems, but also may not necessarily rely on “plastic” to increase confidence. In the past, it was suggested that 12 years old is the best age to do orthodontics. But the truth is that children do best when they have just finished replacing their teeth. However, it should be noted that sometimes poorly grown milk teeth can also affect the later development of teeth, when orthodontic milk teeth are also imperative.

Before and after the “plastic” precautions orthodontic, must pay attention to oral hygiene, if there is tooth decay, gum inflammation, must wait for the cure before “plastic”; orthodontic to pay attention to, orthodontics is not just wearing braces so simple, some patients’ Some patients’ teeth may be too crowded, not enough space, then it is necessary to remove one or several teeth to ensure its final aesthetic. Once the aligners are on, it is important to keep the mouth clean.

Avoid eating hard foods as much as possible and be gentle when brushing your teeth to prevent damage to the braces that could affect the treatment effect. Some people may experience soreness and even pain during the initial period of wearing braces, but patients need to be prepared and believe that they will get through it.
