Of course it is necessary. Almost everyone knows that children with irregular teeth can do orthodontics, but they don't know much about adult orthodontics. Most people mistakenly believe that the growth and development of adults have been stereotyped and can no longer be corrected. It's actually wrong.

Although the growth and development of adults has ended, it cannot be said that the best correction period must have passed. The purpose of adult orthodontics is not only for beauty, but also to obtain good occlusal function and healthy teeth. Due to the high cooperation of adults and clear treatment objectives, good treatment results can be achieved for some common malocclusions.

Adult orthodontics is more complicated than teenagers. Adults' growth and development have stopped, alveolar bone remodeling is relatively slow, tooth movement is relatively slow, and treatment time is long, so we must not rush to achieve success. In addition, adult malocclusion is often accompanied by other oral diseases, such as dental caries and periodontal disease. Before orthodontic treatment, periodontal disease of teeth should be fully controlled.
