From the current technology, there is no age limit for orthodontic treatment. Most people can undergo oral orthodontics as long as their oral conditions permit. The situation of adult orthodontic treatment is more complicated than that of children and adolescents, because adults may have dental caries, periodontal disease, missing teeth, etc. in their mouths. The course of orthodontic treatment for adults is longer than that for children. When orthodontic treatment for adults, the doctor will first conduct an examination to see if the patient has other oral problems, such as dental caries, periodontal disease, etc. If the oral condition is not good, the patient will generally be advised to seek treatment first and then undergo correction.
Advantages: After orthodontic treatment, various harms caused by malocclusion can be improved. For example:
1. Decreased chewing function: the bite relationship is abnormal and the food cannot be chewed finely. It can easily cause gastrointestinal diseases and affect your health.
2. Easily cause periodontal disease: Improper arrangement of teeth will affect the quality of brushing, causing accumulation of oral bacteria, making it difficult to maintain oral hygiene, making teeth prone to dental caries, and gums easily inflamed. May cause periodontal tissue disease.
3. Affect facial beauty: Some teeth are not arranged neatly, which will hinder the normal development of the upper and lower dental arches and make the deformity more and more serious. Protruding dental arches or underbite will make the lips and teeth unsightly, affect the facial image, and over time increase the patient's psychological shadow and affect normal social interactions.
Disadvantages: 1. The correction time is longer and more difficult than that of children.
2. Adults are often accompanied by other diseases and have high requirements for oral health.
3. Adults have a greater tendency to relapse after correction and need to maintain it for a long time.
4. The discomfort symptoms during the treatment process are more obvious compared with children’s correction.
