We often have such a misunderstanding: once an adult's teeth are fixed, they can't be corrected. In fact, this view is wrong. Although teenagers are the golden age of orthodontics, it does not mean that there is no need for orthodontics when they are adults. As long as there is no serious periodontal disease, they can be corrected. It's just that there are some advantages and disadvantages in correcting teeth, which we need to know, so that we can correct them better.

the advantages of orthodontics

1. adolescence

adolescence, when the bones are soft and plastic, is the golden age of orthodontics. It is easier to correct teeth to an ideal state, and they develop quickly and recover quickly, which can also greatly shorten the treatment time.

2. Adults

Compared with teenagers, adults already have their own clear goals, and naturally they will pay more attention to them when they implement them, so that they can actively cooperate with doctors' treatment. At the same time, they will pay more attention to oral hygiene and return to the clinic in time to ensure that the correction achieves their satisfactory results.

the side of correcting dental defects

1. In adolescence

It is difficult to maintain the hygiene of teeth because of wearing orthodontic appliances, and it is easy to suffer from related diseases. Moreover, due to the age, the attention may not be enough, which will eventually affect the effect of correction.

2. Adult period

Adults are much more complicated than teenagers because their growth and development have been completed and their bones have been shaped, and the range of correction will be greatly reduced.

although there are some advantages and disadvantages in correcting teeth at every age, there is no problem as long as we pay attention to it. You know, orthodontics is regardless of age, but beauty is divided into morning and evening, and the effect of ideal orthodontics is even comparable to cosmetic surgery.
