How long does adult orthodontics usually take?
Now, with people's pursuit of "beauty" getting higher and higher, people pay more attention to whether their teeth are neat and white, and the development of stomatology gives people the conditions to pursue "beauty" of their teeth. More and more people spend tens of thousands of yuan a year or two on orthodontics in order to pursue the neatness of their teeth. Then let's briefly talk about the problem of "orthodontics".

Is orthodontics safe? 1. The safety of orthodontics is related to the choice of indications. It is very safe for the right person to do this operation. Then for those who are ill and ill, the risk is relatively greater.

2. The safety of orthodontics is related to the surgeon. Orthodontics is a very professional method, which is more targeted and not all dentists can do it.

3. Whether the orthodontics hospital is authoritative and formal is very important. A formal and authoritative hospital, a regular team of medical experts, advanced surgical equipment, strict disinfection and first-class operating room environment can ensure the success rate and safety of orthodontics.

The Best Age for Orthodontics In fact, people can have orthodontics at any age, but the implementation effect of children and adults may be different. Compared with children, the faces and bones of adults are basically stereotyped. Simple orthodontics, ordinary orthodontics. But for those with "complex teeth", extra maxillofacial surgery may be needed to have a neat tooth. Generally speaking, functional orthoses used to correct the structure and tissue of children's jaws are not successful in adults.

How long does it take for orthodontics? Generally speaking, orthodontics takes about one year for children and two years for adults.

Because the growth and development of adults have been basically completed, the maxillofacial suture has become bony fusion, with low plasticity, slow metabolism and reduced biological reactivity of adults. Therefore, the alveolar bone remodeling is slow, and the tooth movement is also slow, which requires a long treatment time. Therefore, adult orthodontics should be done step by step. If we insist on shortening the time, it will bring bad consequences.

Orthodontic method: 1, movable appliance.

For beauty lovers in deciduous and tooth-changing periods, this is the best orthodontic method, which is relatively simple. It can also be corrected with a fixed appliance, and beauty lovers can take it off and wear it themselves, which is more convenient.

2. Stentless invisible appliance

Many beauty lovers have high demands on their image because of work and other reasons, so it is most appropriate to use the stentless invisible appliance, and beauty lovers can take it off by themselves. However, this method is only suitable for mild dentition crowding and individual tooth torsion.

3. Orthognathic surgery

Some beauty lovers have serious dentofacial deformities, such as maxillary retraction and mandibular protrusion. The general orthodontic method can not guarantee the effect because of its limited distance to move teeth. Orthognathic surgery can move teeth and bones in a large range, so the effect is better.

4. Functional orthodontics

It is mainly used for children who are still at the peak of growth and development during or just after tooth replacement. Functional appliance can correct skeletal malocclusion. For malocclusion children with poor profile of deciduous teeth and mixed teeth, such as mandibular retrusion and anterior crossbite, functional appliance can obtain good curative effect.

5. Active orthodontics

It is commonly used to correct the simple malocclusion of deciduous teeth and mixed teeth, or to correct with fixed appliances. The patient can take it down by himself.
