一、How old is the most appropriate time for orthodontics?

A:There is no absolute age limit for orthodontics, which is mainly related to their own oral conditions. When the jaw is developing, orthodontics can induce the jaw to develop in a good direction. Therefore, the earlier the correction is carried out, the better the effect, the lower the probability of recurrence, and the less the side effects (such as alveolar bone absorption, that is, the teeth will gradually become loose; gingival atrophy). The older you are, because the jaw has been fully developed, and our oral conditions may become worse, the fewer opportunities for correction, the more difficult it is to correct, and the higher the requirements for doctors.

二、Have passed the development period, can you still have teeth? Is it too late to have teeth done at the age of 30 to 40?

A:Sure. At present, adult orthodontics is universal and the risk is controllable. However, because each person's specific situation is different, it is necessary to have a specific inspection to know the correction method that is suitable for him. There is no case that the older the age, the worse the correction is for the teeth.

三、Is it necessary to pull out teeth for orthodontics? Will pulling out so many teeth affect your body?

A:No doctor likes tooth extraction. If the orthodontist says that you need tooth extraction because your teeth don't have enough space, you need tooth extraction to increase space. If you can correct without tooth extraction, the doctor will tell you. In addition, tooth extraction will not have too much impact on the body.

四、Can I have my teeth fixed during pregnancy?

A:During pregnancy, it's better not to worry. Uneven teeth are not an emergency. You can consider having a baby and correcting teeth after breastfeeding. After all, X-ray photos need to be taken before orthodontic treatment, which is a long-term process. During this process, you need to endure gum inflammation, pain and other problems that are easy to occur during orthodontic treatment. There is no need to increase your burden during pregnancy.

五、How long does it take to wear the braces?

A:This is different from person to person. According to the different conditions, progress, age and goals of each patient, there is no clear length of orthodontic time.

It is said that cosmetic surgery is more efficient than cosmetic surgery. Many people are either on the way to counseling or are already consulting. It is not to say that the whole tooth is equal to saving the world, and it is equivalent to a rebirth. The whole tooth is just the beginning! It is the longest and most effective step in our process of becoming beautiful!
