We often talk about the sky, buck teeth, and some people with irregular dentition, crowded teeth or sparse teeth. Overdevelopment of teeth, normal jaw development or slight abnormality can be improved by orthodontics.
The best orthodontic period is 12 ~ 18 adolescence. If you reach this age, congratulations, don't hesitate to do it if you need orthodontics. After 12 years old, the deciduous teeth are basically replaced and the body enters a period of rapid growth and development, which is very suitable for orthodontics. Using the growth and development potential of maxillofacial region in this period, teeth can be moved better and alveolar bone reconstruction can be realized. And the time for correction will be shorter.
If you are no longer at the age of 12- 18, don't give up. As long as the periodontal health, you can also go to orthodontics. But in adulthood, the growth and development are completed, and the teeth are in a solid stage. Correction and movement are relatively difficult and take longer.
Therefore, you can do orthodontics at any age as long as you have your own needs. The premise is to maintain a healthy periodontal condition. If you have dental caries or periodontal disease, solve these problems before orthodontic treatment. Orthodontics can not only make teeth more beautiful, but also affect oral health, and bacterial dental calculus is easy to accumulate in uncleaned places, so orthodontics can improve oral health. Orthodontics can also solve the occlusion problem. Long-term bad occlusion can cause facial joint wear, so orthodontics can not only make you more beautiful, but also make you healthier.
