Primary teeth stage (4-5 years old): This stage is mainly suitable for malocclusion of primary teeth. Early correction is beneficial to maxillary development and prevents malocclusion of permanent teeth. If the child has bad habits such as sticking out his tongue and biting his lips, it can be corrected at this stage to prevent malocclusion.
Tooth-changing stage (girls: 8- 10 years old, boys: 9- 12 years old): In the tooth-changing stage, if children are found to have bad habits such as biting their lips, sticking out their tongues, and protruding their jaws, as well as abnormal facial and tooth arrangement, they should go to the hospital for examination in time to determine whether they are dental, functional or skeletal malocclusion.
Normal pressure stage (female: 1 1- 14 years old, male: 13- 15 years old): At this time, the child's teeth have been replaced and the bones are basically shaped, and common malocclusions can be well treated at this stage.
The risk of correction also exists objectively, such as the long correction period, the risk of rebound after correction, and the probability of periodontal disease and gingival atrophy during correction. It is suggested that adult friends should carefully consider the above risk factors before choosing orthodontics for aesthetic purposes, and must go to a regular hospital for examination.
Orthodontics is only selected for the dentofacial deformities in the process of tooth growth, and it is not an operation simply for the pursuit of beauty. In particular, the growth of adult teeth has been set. Unless absolutely necessary, it is not worth the loss to sacrifice the long-term health of teeth for short-term aesthetics. Moreover, the risk of correction is objective, such as the long correction period, the risk of rebound after correction, and the probability of periodontal disease and gingival atrophy during correction. It is suggested that adult friends should go to a regular hospital for an examination before choosing orthodontics for beauty.
