Can adults get their teeth straightened? The answer is yes! More and more adults lament the fact that they did not understand the importance of teeth during their teenage years and missed the excellent orthodontic period, only to realize how important it is to have a clean teeth when they face job hunting and dating as adults. Having good teeth has become a good business card for today’s adults and a bridge to success in socializing. Concerned about dental knowledge therefore, many adults are also becoming aware of a series of health risks associated with misaligned teeth, but most people believe that it is too late to mend the fold as an adult. Dental experts point out that, in addition to children at the right age can be orthodontic, adults can also be orthodontic, and orthodontics is no age limit, even 40 years old is not too late. In principle, as long as the periodontal health, adults can also undergo orthodontic treatment. Since the growth of adults has stopped, bone metabolism and alveolar bone reconstruction is slower, teeth movement is relatively slow, and the time required for orthodontic treatment is longer than that of children. However, due to the high level of cooperation of adults, the results of adult orthodontic treatment sometimes even exceed those of children’s orthodontic treatment. Straight teeth are not only aesthetically pleasing, but more importantly, they keep teeth safe from various dental diseases. If you have straight teeth after the age of 80, I’m afraid people won’t know that you started to “make up for it” only after you became an adult. Orthodontics is a lifelong concern, and it is important to choose the right time from childhood. Common jaw and face deformities can be divided into two categories: dental deformities and bone deformities. Dental deformities are divided into general dental deformities and functional deformities. Different types of deformities, the best time to correct them are also different. 1, dental malformation: the best time to orthodontic treatment is the early permanent teeth, that is, about 12, 13 years old. Because this is when children have just finished replacing their teeth and are in a more vigorous growth and development. The best age for most fixed orthodontics is 12-16 years old, and some dentists call this age the “golden period”. 2, functional malformation: because it often appears in the replacement period, if delayed orthodontic treatment, it may develop into bony malformation, so its best orthodontic period should be in the replacement period, that is, 6-12 years old. 3, children’s malocclusion: early treatment is needed, preferably at the age of 3-5 years, such as “geodontia”, lip biting, finger sucking and other bad habits. Pay attention to dental knowledge. 4.Adult orthodontic treatment: mainly to solve the aesthetic problems, while improving the overall oral health conditions have a charming, confident smile is never a time limit.
