The ideal orthodontic age is about 1 1- 14 years old (except for anterior crossbite) during the growth and development of adolescents. At this stage, orthodontic treatment can make full use of the growth and development potential of teenagers and cooperate with the mechanical force of orthodontic appliances to achieve twice the result with half the effort. There is a kind of malocclusion because the malocclusion of the lower anterior teeth affects the normal development of the jaw, which needs to be corrected as soon as possible. It can start at the deciduous stage, remove the bad factors and guide the jaw to develop in the normal direction.

Due to the limitation of social factors or personal factors, a considerable number of people have missed the best period of correction. However, with the development of medical technology and the continuous improvement of materials, orthodontic treatment of adult malocclusion is becoming more and more common. Adults can receive corrective treatment as long as their periodontal and oral health is good, and they can also receive satisfactory results.

In the dental clinic, the author found that many parents brought their children to see a doctor and asked for tooth extraction, correction and consultation. Most of them are 8- 10 years old, which is the alternating period of primary teeth and permanent teeth, and there are overlapping teeth where new permanent teeth erupt and primary teeth stay. Long "tiger teeth": the middle tooth space of the upper front teeth appears; The eruption of new teeth is accompanied by crowding and other temporary deformities. Parents ask for orthodontics as soon as possible, and when they meet a "doctor" who lacks professional knowledge, they use unreasonable removable braces, which backfires. When the fetus is temporarily dislocated (about 8- 10 years old), it is not suitable for orthodontics in most cases.

Primary teeth can guide permanent teeth to erupt to normal position and promote jaw development. When can deciduous teeth be pulled out and when is it most appropriate to correct teeth? This should be based on the development of each teenager's teeth and oral cavity and conform to the law of oral cavity growth and development. Therefore, it is necessary to find a responsible regular dentist with certain orthodontic professional knowledge, and it is reliable to extract teeth and correct teeth at the right time.

Orthodontics can be divided into movable and fixed types. Active orthodontics is suitable for simple cases with young age and individual malocclusion. Everyone has heard of orthodontics, mostly referring to this movable orthodontics. In recent years, the fixed appliance is often used, that is, the method of bonding the appliance to the teeth, which is also an advanced and internationally popular orthodontic method.

How long does it take for orthodontics? It depends on everyone's specific situation. The total course of treatment is generally between 1-2 years, and the follow-up is once a month. In the process of correction, you can eat all kinds of food as usual, which has little impact on your life, but it is not good-looking for the time being. As long as the diagnosis is correct, the design is reasonable and the operation is standardized, the teeth will not be damaged and there will be no adverse consequences.
