Orthodontics is a patent for children and adolescents?

Many people think that orthodontics is only for children and young people, and middle-aged and elderly people can't do orthodontics. In fact, this view is wrong Although the growth and development of adults have stopped and the external morphology of bones has stabilized, the ability of regeneration and reconstruction inside bones still exists (such as healing after fracture). Generally speaking, if adults do not have severe periodontitis, their teeth can be corrected. For 60-year-old adults and 12-year-old children, there is not much difference in the influence of orthodontic force on healthy tooth movement. Adults in Europe and America account for more than one-third of orthodontic patients. What needs to be emphasized here is that the older you get, the more difficult it may be to correct it; Adult rigid maxillofacial skeletal deformities can only be solved by surgery, and simple orthodontics can only solve their dental problems.
