Adult orthodontics – not too late, only more difficult Adult orthodontics has its own characteristics and difficulties, but age is no longer the key factor for orthodontics.
As long as the periodontal and joint health are evaluated, the treatment can be treated. However, due to the decreased remodeling ability of individuals, the treatment time will be prolonged, but adults cooperate better, so the time increase is not much, but adult correction is faced with more black triangle and periodontal damage.
Can the adult become orthodontic?
In fact, adults can do orthodontic!
It mainly depends on periodontal condition, so preoperative diagnosis is very important.
If the condition is good, it can be corrected.
The difference between adult orthodontic teeth and minor orthodontic teeth?
First, the treatment time is long.
Since the growth and development of adults have been basically completed, the maxillofacial bone seam has become osseous fusion, and the plasticity is very low. Moreover, the metabolic rate of adults is slow, and the biological reactivity is reduced. Therefore, the reconstruction of alveolar bone is relatively slow, the tooth movement is relatively slow, and the treatment time is long.
Therefore, adult orthodontic treatment can not be rushed, to step by step, if blindly shorten the time, will bring adverse consequences.
Orthodontic treatment for children generally takes about a year, and orthodontic treatment for adults generally takes about two years.
Adults are prone to relapse after orthodontic treatment, so it is very important to keep the retainer after treatment, and the time to wear the retainer after treatment is relatively long.
Second, the physical situation is more complex.
Orthodontics in adults is more complicated than orthodontics in children. Malocclusion in adults is often accompanied by other oral diseases.
Such as caries, periodontal disease, missing teeth, tooth attrition, residual crown, residual root, as well as poor oral restorations, temporomandibular joint diseases, etc.
Before starting orthodontic treatment, it is necessary to fully control the periodontal disease of the tooth and remove the intraoral prosthesis, otherwise it will affect the wearing of the appliance and tooth movement.
Adults should be in good oral hygiene conditions for orthodontic treatment, in the process of treatment but also pay attention to observe the periodontal changes of teeth.
In addition, adult orthodontics should consider the impact of systemic health status, suffering from rheumatic heart disease, coronary heart disease, hypothyroidism, excessive gastric acid, diabetes, arthritis, hemorrhagic diseases, epilepsy and other diseases, first to make these diseases under control, experts warm remind pregnant women orthodontic treatment should be careful.
Is the tooth after adult orthodontic old met more easily loose or fall off?
The answer is no.
When your teeth are in their normal position, the doctor will decompress the teeth, and the periodontal membrane will automatically restore and the teeth will return to their original strength.
In fact, after orthodontic teeth aligned, conducive to oral cleaning, can assist in the treatment of periodontal disease.
In addition, people who have done orthodontics will naturally form the good habit of caring for teeth and pay more attention to dental health.
In this sense, orthodontics can prevent people from loosening teeth when they are old.
