Is it useful for adults to correct teeth with braces for teenagers with uneven, convex teeth have a good correction effect, so for adults, how is the effect of this method?
Orthodontics for adults In theory, adults can also wear braces for orthodontics, but it can be difficult.
This is because adult bones are fully developed and tooth displacement and recovery are not as fast as minors.
The growth and development of adults have stopped, bone metabolism and alveolar bone remodeling are relatively slow, and the tooth movement speed is relatively slow. The required treatment time is longer than that of children.
In many cases, it is necessary to solve the patient’s requirements through surgery in conjunction with orthodontic treatment.
In addition, adults with a higher rate of dental caries, and many patients also suffer from periodontal disease, and lack of teeth, residual crown, residual root phenomenon is also very common, plus serious tooth attrition and systemic diseases and other factors, which lead to adult orthodontics is more difficult than adolescents.
Orthodontic correction this method is better orthodontic age is in the adolescent period, missed the age of adults can also be corrected, but the tooth itself is required to be in good condition, no dental caries, no periodontal disease, and requires good cooperation, perseverance.
Under normal circumstances, adult correction needs 1-2 years or relatively long, according to the individual tooth situation and decide.
Adult alveolar bone is well developed, teeth are basically fixed, and teeth themselves have memory function, so the probability of tooth rebound is high.
Therefore, in the process of orthodontics, patients not only have a strong will, but also actively cooperate with the doctor, on time to the hospital for examination, adjust the intensity of orthodontics, to ensure the effect of orthodontics.
