Can you still do orthodontics at the age of forty?
You can correct your teeth in your 40 s.

Because orthodontics itself has no rigid age limit, because alveolar bone is absorbed continuously for life, people in their 40 s can correct their teeth as long as periodontal conditions permit.

Of course, people in their forties are indeed more likely to suffer from periodontal diseases such as periodontitis than young people. At this time, it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor to treat periodontal disease first, and then carry out subsequent corrective treatment. Orthodontics can be done at the age of 40, but the time will be extended. The optimal age of orthodontics is between 12 and 18. With the increase of age, the difficulty of orthodontics may increase, the time of orthodontics will also be prolonged, and the effect is not obvious. After general tooth deformation, early intervention and early treatment are needed. The effect of correction will be more obvious. The main way to correct teeth is to put on braces or retainers to make the teeth arrange neatly and restore facial beauty and normal occlusion. In the process of orthodontics, it is necessary to keep the oral hygiene and rinse your mouth with warm water after meals to avoid oral inflammation.

Worried about dental problems, welcome to consult Saide Sunshine Dental. Side Sunshine is determined to be the Mayo Medical Center in China, but we don't want to be a dental center for intractable diseases, nor do we want to be a "pilgrimage site" for patients with secondary or even fourth orthodontics. After all, orthodontics is also an operation, and reconstruction on the ruins is not only a loss of time, money and patience for patients. But as a medical institution, no matter how difficult the patient is, we will go all out.
