Please ask the experts to answer, thank you. " These are all questions raised by netizens on Zhide. Experts from Liang Ya answered questions raised by netizens. How old are you when you wear braces? How old are you to do orthodontics? Experts say that there is no strict age limit for braces. The best period for children is 12- 18. For adults, as long as there is no periodontal disease, even at the age of 70 or 80, they can still receive orthodontic treatment. However, ordinary elegant plastic braces have the following problems in correcting teeth: the correction cycle is relatively long; It is inconvenient to brush your teeth; You can't drink carbonated drinks, which will cause tooth pigmentation and color difference when the braces are taken off. Too sweet will lead to tooth decay. Ordinary rigid braces used in general plastic surgery are made of metal materials such as nickel chromium and beryllium. Although the price is cheap, the harm caused by metal materials is obvious. Steel braces can't eat hard things, so as not to often fall off dislocated grass and other things, which will affect the progress. In view of the above problems, experts in Liang Ya suggested the following orthodontic methods: Self-ligating bracket treatment technology: Self-ligating bracket is a new technology in recent years. Seemingly small changes have brought revolutionary changes to fixed orthodontic technology.

Fully transparent invisible correction technology: the thickness of the appliance is less than 1mm, transparent, smooth and comfortable, without foreign body sensation and mucosal irritation, and the correction time is shortened by nearly one third compared with traditional orthodontics. Translucent ceramic orthodontic technology: All-ceramic brackets are closely attached to teeth, with excellent biocompatibility, beautiful and comfortable, more beautiful than traditional brackets, comfortable to wear and easy to clean. Tips: Liang Ya ceramic surface correction does not have the problem of general steel braces, which makes patients feel comfortable, clean and safe. more
