Adult malocclusion is often accompanied by other oral diseases, such as dental caries, periodontal disease, tooth loss, tooth wear, residual crown and roots, poor oral repair, temporomandibular joint diseases and so on. Before orthodontic treatment, as long as the periodontal disease of teeth is completely controlled and the dental prosthesis is removed, adult orthodontics can be carried out under good oral hygiene conditions, and the effect of adult orthodontics is no less than that of children.
It's not too late for adults to do orthodontics.
Because the growth and development of adults have been basically completed, the maxillofacial suture has become bony fusion, with low plasticity, slow metabolism and reduced biological reactivity of adults. Therefore, the alveolar bone remodeling is slow, and the tooth movement is also slow, which requires a long treatment time. Therefore, adult orthodontics should be done step by step. If we insist on shortening the time, it will bring bad consequences.
Adult orthodontics is done quietly.
Due to the influence of occupation, work and social activities, adults have more requirements for the length of orthodontic treatment, the beauty of orthodontic appliances and the therapeutic effect. In addition, adults often require the use of concealed corrective devices and special time to see a doctor, which requires high privacy. Therefore, doctors must consider these factors when conducting adult orthodontics.
