Is there an age limit for orthodontics?
Now, more and more people choose to go to the hospital to correct their teeth. Most people feel that they don't even have enough teeth, and grinning affects their image. There are still many people who want to correct their teeth, but they are worried that they will not be able to correct their teeth when they are old. Is there an age limit for orthodontic treatment? In fact, there is generally no one. People in their fifties or sixties or minors can choose to correct their teeth.

Although there is no age limit for orthodontics, there is a golden age for orthodontics, usually twelve to eighteen. At this time, people's facial development, alveolar bone development is not fully formed, tooth correction is better, and the period of tooth correction will be shorter. At this time, orthodontics will use the growth and development ability of teeth to move teeth, and alveolar bone reconstruction will achieve the best effect, which can also ensure the perfect orthodontic effect. You don't need to wear a retainer for too long after late correction, so this age is the best age for orthodontics. However, the development of the adult's face and alveolar bone has ended, which also leads to a longer treatment time and a longer time to wear the retainer. The retainer of the tooth needs multiple sets of replacement to correct the perfect tooth shape. After we change our teeth, the fully developed teeth are gradually developing, so the sooner we correct our teeth, the better.

You need to wear a mouthguard to correct your teeth. If you choose invisible braces, you don't have to worry about the embarrassment of talking to people when wearing braces, but invisible braces will be more expensive. Wearing braces, eating and drinking will be more troublesome. We need to take off our braces before eating and put them on after eating, mainly for invisible braces. Usually, you must pay attention to your oral hygiene, brush your teeth twice a day, and don't eat anything to breed oral bacteria after brushing your teeth. It is suggested that children should never lick new teeth with their tongues after their teeth have fallen out and regrown.
