It’s almost summer break, which is a prime time for many young patients to get their teeth straightened, and there are many benefits of summer orthodontics. There are two main reasons for this. First, there is plenty of time. From the time you decide on treatment to the time you get your aligners, you will need to make a series of trips to the hospital (some children will need extractions or arch expansions) to learn about your child’s dental problems and communicate with your doctor to determine the best treatment plan and procedures. The summer schedule is convenient, without the usual worries of missing schoolwork. Secondly, it is easy to adapt to wearing aligners and will not affect your child’s normal life and school. Because of the different types of aligners, there may be a variety of initial discomfort, such as uncomfortable talking, eating, drooling, mouth ulcers and shyness to meet classmates, etc. At the same time, the frequency of follow-up visits is higher during the initial aligner phase (because many patients often lose their brackets after wearing orthodontic appliances), so it is easier to adapt to orthodontics in the summer and have time to go to the hospital immediately if problems arise. In addition, after a period of summer orthodontic process, can make the child’s original uneven teeth become more neat and beautiful, enhance the child’s self-confidence, so that the child more confident to meet the arrival of the new semester. The first thing you need to do is to choose the right time for orthodontics before or during the rapid growth period of teeth. There are several periods suitable for orthodontics. The first is the period of milk teeth. The best age for treatment is from 3 to 6 years old, and the course of treatment is about 6 months. The second is the mixed (replacement) teeth period. About 7 years old, when the new permanent teeth begin to erupt, the teeth grow quickly, the bite is unstable, is the period of malocclusion. The third is the period of permanent dentition. Milk teeth have all been replaced, the second big teeth and the third big teeth erupted for another rapid growth period, generally from 12 to 18 years old, when the diagnosis of malocclusion is clear, in the rapid growth period of orthodontics, fast and stable orthodontic effect. If you have missed the above orthodontic period, you can still undergo adult orthodontics after the age of 18 to restore the function of chewing, speech, temporomandibular joint and make the face beautiful. But compared to children’s orthodontics, adult orthodontics has many restrictions, so children with uneven teeth, to correct teeth in time, do not miss the golden period of orthodontics.
