Many people do not notice the misalignment of their teeth and the functional problems it causes until they are in their twenties or thirties, thinking that it is too late to mend the situation. In fact, age is not a decisive issue when it comes to tooth movement, and orthodontic treatment can be done at any age. Currently, adult orthodontic patients in Europe and the United States account for nearly 50% of the orthodontic patient population. In China, with the development of orthodontic technology and the improvement of people’s material living standards, more and more adults are attracted to join the ranks of orthodontics. As orthodontics is popular in the last one or two decades, many adults do not have the opportunity and material conditions to orthodontic treatment in adolescence, but with the improvement of material level and medical technology, more and more people who love beauty began to choose orthodontics to make up for the shortcomings of adolescence, so that the teeth become straight, many women who love beauty became the adult orthodontic boom in the The mainstream group. First, orthodontics can play the role of dental cleaning. Because, the regular arrangement of teeth has the role of self-cleaning, but the irregular arrangement of teeth will bring a certain degree of difficulty to brush and clean, and through orthodontics to align the teeth can facilitate cleaning. Second, orthodontics can remove bite trauma. Unbalanced bite force will lead to damage to teeth, making it easier for teeth to loosen and fall out prematurely, while orthodontics can make teeth alignment and bite relationship reach normal, which can play a good protection for teeth. Again, orthodontics can relieve bite interference. Some misaligned bite relationship can lead to damage to the temporomandibular joint, and orthodontics makes the bite relationship normal to avoid damage to the temporomandibular joint. Finally, orthodontics also prepares the teeth for prosthetic restoration. People who have missing teeth but do not want to have them or are not suitable for them can also close the gaps in their missing teeth through orthodontics to achieve an aesthetic effect. And people with too loose teeth and gaps can concentrate the gaps through orthodontics and set teeth in the parts where the gaps are formed, which can also achieve the purpose of aesthetics. Third, adult orthodontic misconceptions Many people believe that orthodontics can no longer be done above the age of 18. But according to experts, this statement is actually a misconception. The reason is that the human alveolar bone is in the process of change throughout life, so there is no restriction for orthodontics at any age. However, since the restorative capacity of the alveolar bone of adults is lower than that of teenagers or children, the course of orthodontic treatment for adults is generally longer, and the technical level of doctors is also put forward higher requirements. Therefore, when some adults go to some clinics or hospitals for consultation, they are told that adults cannot perform orthodontics, which is more due to the limited professional understanding and technical level of the doctors. In addition, there are some people think that adults will make their teeth loose and fall off after orthodontic treatment, and experts think that this view is also one-sided. If you are a professional doctor in a regular hospital, you will communicate with the patient in depth before orthodontic treatment, use a reasonable orthodontic treatment plan, and apply reasonable force during orthodontic treatment, which will not only not cause tooth loss, but will delay the loss of teeth. Experts told the author that the reason is that orthodontics can make the alignment and bite of the teeth more reasonable, some periodontal diseases can also be better prevented and controlled, which is more conducive to dental care. Fourth, adult orthodontics to choose the right method In orthodontic treatment, brackets are the most commonly used essential appliances. There are metal brackets and ceramic (translucent) brackets; brackets are placed on the outside of the teeth and on the inner side of the teeth; rubber bands that are often replaced are monochromatic and colored. Patients can discuss with their doctors about the orthodontic approach and the appliances used. Fixed orthodontic appliances are small and highly effective, and are more suitable for adults. In recent years, lingual fixed orthodontic appliances have also been more widely adopted, greatly satisfying patients’ requirements in terms of aesthetics. Although the improvement of orthodontic technology and high-quality orthodontic equipment provide good conditions for the development of adult orthodontics, adults often do not achieve perfection in the treatment effect due to various factors, so adults should not be in a hurry when undergoing orthodontic treatment, and should have a full understanding of the complexity of treatment and be prepared. Adult orthodontics is a more time-consuming and expense treatment, should use the reliable quality, do not pay too much attention to the price and ignore the quality. Good quality appliances can greatly reduce the chances of brackets falling off, to shorten the treatment time adult orthodontics keen “invisible orthodontics” adults choose orthodontics, mostly through orthodontics hope to achieve the purpose of improving the appearance. According to experts, many patients did not receive orthodontic treatment during their teenage years for various reasons, and after they became adults, they found that their teeth affected their appearance and brought some trouble to their lives and work, so they chose orthodontics after they became adults in order to have a clean teeth! However, the misalignment of teeth not only affects the appearance, but also poses a threat to the patient’s health, which can lead to dental caries, gingivitis, TMJ disease and other diseases! The pursuit of “invisible”, fast, beautiful, and does not affect work and life, is a characteristic of adult orthodontics! Invisible bracketless orthodontic technology to change the traditional orthodontic process of “wire and iron teeth” situation, can be completed in the state of no wire, no bracket orthodontic treatment, so that others do not see you with braces orthodontic at the same time, does not affect the aesthetics, can be taken off by themselves, unknowingly restore the normal jaw shape, and therefore received many adult orthodontic patients favor. However, this technology has limited indications and should follow the professional guidance of your doctor.
