Let's have a detailed understanding of Orthodontics today.

Age for orthodontics

First: orthodontics is mainly for children, if it is adults, orthodontics will be very difficult, so, when we carry out orthodontics, it is mainly for children between 12 and 18 years old. Because the child is still growing and developing, the skeleton is not very healthy.

Second: the growth and development of adults has stopped, so the bone metabolism and bone remodeling of teeth are relatively slow, and the time for orthodontics will be very long. Therefore, adults generally will not consider orthodontics. If the teeth are not aligned, it will have a great impact after adulthood.

Third: once the phenomenon of uneven teeth occurs, if it seriously affects the shape of your face, it will not achieve very good therapeutic effect by simply using orthodontic treatment at this time. At this time, it needs to be solved by plastic surgery.
