1, the treatment time and effect are different.
Orthodontics in adolescence, because it is still growing and developing, will be more plastic. According to the developmental potential in the initial stage of orthodontics, some skeletal problems can be improved through growth. In addition, teenagers grow vigorously, the alveolar bone remodeling speed is slightly faster than that of adults, and the correction time will be shorter.
Juvenile correction case: The child's teeth were deeply covered and his mouth was prominent, and he was diagnosed as skeletal class II mandibular retrusion. Before the peak of growth and development, the face was corrected from the age of-10, Bionator+ Invisalign, and the two-stage correction achieved the goal, and the face shape was greatly improved.
However, the growth and development of adults have been basically completed, and the suture of the collar surface has become bony fusion, with low plasticity, slow metabolic rate of adults and reduced biological reactivity. Therefore, alveolar bone remodeling is relatively slow, tooth movement is relatively slow, and the treatment time required will be longer.
Some friends are worried that adult orthodontics will have sequelae. These worries are actually unnecessary. As long as you find a professional orthodontist, you can have a good effect.
Adult orthodontic cases: deep overbite+locking of posterior teeth, after correction, the occlusion returned to normal, and the patient finally could chew food normally with posterior teeth.
2. Oral health status
Teeth of teenagers have just been changed, and their teeth and periodontal conditions are better. Generally, orthodontic treatment can be directly used.
Adult malocclusion is often accompanied by other oral diseases, such as dental caries, periodontal disease, tooth loss, tooth wear, residual crowns and roots, poor oral prostheses, temporomandibular joint diseases and so on.
Therefore, it is necessary to solve these problems before orthodontic treatment. Before orthodontic treatment, teeth and periodontal diseases must be completely controlled, and the intraoral prosthesis must be removed, otherwise the wearing of the appliance and the movement of teeth will be affected.
Adults should be treated with good oral hygiene, and pay attention to the changes of teeth and periodontal conditions during the treatment. These dental problems should also be considered in the treatment plan.
No matter what age you correct your teeth, you need to find a professional orthodontist.
