Adult buck teeth can be cured, whether they are teeth or bones. Adult teeth buckteeth are mostly caused by bad oral habits or other environmental factors, showing simple protrusion of the upper teeth, which can be corrected by braces, such as wearing metal braces. Adult bony buck teeth are mostly caused by genetic factors, showing maxillary alveolar bone protrusion and maxillary tooth protrusion, which may occur in childhood and need surgery to correct alveolar bone before repair.
Orthodontic treatment for adults with buck teeth takes a long time, usually about 1-3 years, and it is necessary to wear retainers in the later stage. Because the adult's bones have developed and formed, the orthodontic efficiency will be lower and the tooth movement will be slower.
Adult skeletal buck teeth can be treated with Hou surgery orthodontics, which is a minimally invasive oral surgery. Remove cortical bone to move alveolar bone and restore normal face and normal occlusion. The operation time is only about 1-2 hours, and the normal working life can be restored after 5-7 days of operation.
Alveolar protrusion
Because Hou's surgical orthodontics is only aimed at adult bone deformities aged 65,438+08-60, the patient's bone development has been finalized at this stage, so the patient's bone tissue no longer develops and grows after surgery, and the orthodontic effect is retained for life.
Can adult buck teeth be cured? The development of buck teeth to adulthood has a far-reaching impact on adults, but the age of bone buck teeth before surgery is 18 years old, and adults can basically meet the requirements of surgery.
