Is there an age limit for orthodontics?
There is no age limit for simple orthodontics.

Orthodontics is generally recommended in adolescence, because bone remodeling is active at this stage and teeth move faster. Tooth movement is a remodeling activity involving bone cells, and adults and even elderly patients can also undergo orthodontics.

Orthodontics, also known as orthodontic treatment, refers to various forms of correction such as uneven tooth arrangement, crowded dentition or gap, and malocclusion. Orthodontic treatment can improve chewing function, tooth and periodontal health, pronunciation and aesthetic problems. At the same time, some cases can also improve the face shape of 1/3 to some extent.

In childhood before tooth replacement, preventive teeth correction or blocking correction of bad habits can be started according to the actual situation. However, the prime time of conventional orthodontics is in the early stage of permanent dentition. For skeletal dysplasia, it is necessary to use the potential of growth and development for growth improvement treatment, so it is chosen around the peak of adolescent growth and development, that is,1~13 years old (slightly earlier than women). For the deformity of bone overgrowth, the strategy of observing the growth and development is often adopted. When the growth and development are close to completion, it is determined whether it is simple orthodontics or orthodontics-orthognathic surgery combined treatment according to the situation.
