Can you still correct your teeth when you are 43 years old?
A few days ago, a patient came to see the dentist. She asked me, "Dr Duan, I am 30 years old. Can I still correct it? "

I know that many patients with tooth deformities are also confused. I'm 28, can I still do orthodontics? I'm 35, can I still do orthodontics?

For such patients who are worried that age will affect orthodontics, my answer is only one: orthodontics does not need to be limited by age, because the patient's age is not a very important factor in the process of orthodontics. As long as the patient's periodontal condition is healthy, the teeth can be corrected.

Before receiving orthodontic treatment, of course, dental diseases should be treated first. Treat tooth decay and pulpitis well. If you have periodontitis, you need to control it first, otherwise tooth movement will aggravate the degree of tooth loosening during orthodontics. Whether you are 20, 30 or 40 years old, your orthodontic process is the same. Taking panoramic X-rays of oral cavity helps doctors to determine the classification types of maxillofacial and dentition deformities and the development direction of bones, so as to make accurate correction plans in the future.

Fixed scheme

The doctor will give a plan according to the patient's dental condition. If you have any comments on the doctor's plan, you can put forward it in time.

pay

Apply the impression glue to your teeth, bite 1-2 minutes, take it out and turn it into your tooth model for later use, which is also convenient for correcting the contrast.

Photo archiving

Before orthodontics, the doctor will take photos of the patient's face, mouth and face from all angles, so as to compare them after orthodontics and improve your medical record.
