The course of orthodontic treatment is generally about two years, but according to the age, severity and dental reaction of each patient, the time required for treatment will also increase or decrease, and the price will fluctuate accordingly, which is generally normal from thousands to tens of thousands. The efficiency of orthodontic treatment can be greatly improved as long as we can cooperate well with orthodontists, make follow-up visits on time, maintain oral hygiene and health, and protect the appliance from being damaged.
The braces are made by sticking brackets on the surface of teeth with special adhesive, then fixing arch wires on them and applying a certain force. After feeling the external force, the alveolar bone on one side of the root will be gradually absorbed, and the alveolar bone on the other side will grow to fill the extra gap, so that the teeth will slowly move to one side with the alveolar bone to achieve the purpose of correction.
Compared with children, adults will have more restrictions when receiving comprehensive orthodontic treatment. If the problem of occlusal teeth is caused by maxillary dysplasia, because the face and bones of adults have been basically shaped, it should be cured by orthodontic treatment. Only the combination of orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery can correct the deviation of adult jaw development.
However, adult orthodontics also has special advantages: adults have a strong desire to treat, can better understand the doctor's intentions and cooperate well, and at the same time, oral hygiene is usually better, the time is more flexible, and they can return to the clinic on time, which is very important for achieving good treatment results; In addition, adults have a certain economic foundation, and it is easier to pay for expensive orthodontic expenses such as invisible orthodontics and lingual orthodontics, and these orthodontic techniques can bring better treatment experience to patients.
