Adolescent orthodontics, More thanks should be given to their parents for their foresight. Parents took their children to the hospital for orthodontic treatment when they were in primary and secondary school. Although the children themselves have benefited from this, they do not have much autonomy. There are still more people who hope to have neat and healthy teeth. However, their parents did not give them such opportunities when they were young. When they became financially independent, they thought it was too late to have their teeth orthodontic, and they were deterred.
As an orthodontic specialist, I take advantage of Dr. Clove’s treasure to correct this misunderstanding.
Please remember: Orthodontic teeth are not exclusive to teenagers, adults can also have orthodontic teeth!
First, there are many people who have orthodontic teeth only when they are adults.
In the recently broadcast costume drama < < Strange Tales in the Wind > >, Hu Ge accidentally exposed the metal braces (photo), which directly turned the costume drama into a cross-country drama. As a result, many people joked on the Internet that Hu Ge was still orthodontic when he was old.
The picture exposes Hu Ge with metal braces (the picture comes from a screenshot of the video of < < Strange Tales in the Wind > >)
As a matter of fact, there are a large number of adults who have orthodontic teeth, accounting for more than 30% of orthodontic cases. Many oral hospitals even set up specialized outpatient clinics for adults who have orthodontic teeth, which shows the huge demand.
Second, adult orthodontics is the choice to pursue beauty and health.
Neat teeth give us a confident smile and at the same time make our face more beautiful. Orthodontic teeth can make most people get beautiful effects and can also assist the plastic surgery of the whole maxillofacial region.
This kind of demand for beauty is the most urgent among adults. Among my patients, there are people who are engaged in [facade] industries such as actors, announcers and flight attendants, and there are also many people who are engaged in occupations that have little to do with appearance. However, the common demand of most of them is to hope [look better].
In doctors’ view, adults are more willing to orthodontize, which is very important.
In addition, standardized orthodontic treatment can bring patients not only beauty, but also orthodontic teeth are of great help to the health of some people’s oral and maxillofacial regions.
Arrangement of irregular teeth increases the difficulty of brushing teeth, food residue can not be effectively cleaned easy to form dental plaque, dental calculus, and dental plaque and dental calculus are the causes of tooth decay, gingivitis, periodontitis, etc. Through orthodontic alignment of dentition, so that the oral cavity can be more easily and thoroughly clean and sanitary, reducing the possibility of many oral diseases.
On the other hand, temporomandibular joint diseases (including joint bouncing, inability to open mouth wide, etc.) perplex many adults. Irregular tooth arrangement in oral cavity is the direct cause of some temporomandibular joint diseases. This part of temporomandibular joint symptoms can often be obviously relieved or even completely disappeared after orthodontic teeth.
There is also a kind, is some older elderly patients, generally referred by prosthetic doctors. The purpose of orthodontic teeth is to create conditions for prosthetic dentures, only in some local teeth stick on brackets, the treatment period is generally relatively short.
Three, orthodontic, age is not a problem
How old can adults have orthodontic teeth?
In theory, there is no age limit for orthodontic teeth.
The key factor that determines whether you can receive orthodontic treatment is not age, but periodontal health.
In other words, it is whether the foundation for wrapping and supporting the teeth is firm and stable. A person who takes good care of his teeth and undergoes regular examinations may have better periodontal condition by the age of 40 than some 30-year-olds, and will be better equipped to have orthodontic teeth.
Of course, how is your periodontal condition? Only after a professional dentist has seen it can he know.
Speaking of which, I can’t help thinking of one thing not long ago. A teenager came to the clinic to have his teeth orthodontic. The family was surprised by the great changes in his teeth in a short period of time. So his mother, a middle-aged woman in her forties, also came to the clinic to seek help. After various examinations and analysis, she soon put on braces.
This is not over yet. The child’s grandfather, an old man in his seventies, also came to the clinic soon and wanted to clean up the teeth that had been messed up for decades. Examination shows that the periodontal conditions of the child’s grandfather are not bad. After basic periodontal care, simple correction can also be carried out.
Fourth, adult orthodontics have special advantages,
Adults can not only have orthodontic teeth, but also have some advantages over minors.
1. Strong will and good compliance
Adults have a strong desire for treatment, can better understand the doctor’s intention and cooperate well, and at the same time oral hygiene is usually maintained better, the time is more flexible, and they can return to the clinic on time, which is very important to achieve good therapeutic effect.
2. Good economic foundation, can choose better materials
In addition, adults have a certain economic foundation and can more easily pay for more expensive orthodontic choices such as invisible orthodontic treatment and lingual orthodontic treatment, and these orthodontic technologies can bring better treatment experience to patients.
Five, adults orthodontic can also not wear [Kouga]
Adults assume more social roles and have higher requirements for image. Although good results can be expected after orthodontic treatment, many people still find it difficult to accept being called “Uncle Kouga” and “Aunt Kouga” during orthodontic treatment.
Fortunately, the vigorous development of lingual orthodontics and invisible orthodontics makes this no longer a big problem. Of course, you also need to pay 1-2 times more than conventional orthodontics for this better orthodontic experience.
VI. Summary
The existing adult orthodontic technology has completely broken the age limit. If you are not so satisfied with your teeth and face shape, it is not too late to improve.
Prepare a heart that loves beauty and life, find a reliable orthodontist, and then wait for a neat tooth and a confident smile.
