With the social development and improvement of the people’s living standard, the orthodontics has been valued by more and more people. Many patients with misaligned teeth come to Meigeer Dental to consult, is there any age limit for doing orthodontics treatment, can orthodontics effect be affected beyond the proper age, many doubts in their mind.

    Doctor Li., the general expert from Meigeer Dental, says that so called the optimal age for doing the orthodontics treatment is not absolute. There is no age limit for orthodontics. The grown-ups can solve their problems through orthodontics if they have these related issues. Even the aged people absolutely can do the orthodontics if the orthodontics treatment is needed urgently so as periodontal disease and temporomandibular joint disease, and no skeletal malocclusion. And we did the successful case for the bucktooth patient through the orthodontics treatment. In addition, the orthodontics can correct the teeth shape to make the teeth well aligned, upper and lower teeth in alignment, with the normal occlusion, improving the chewing function, promoting health. So, Meigeer Dental alerts the patients to do the orthodontics treatment timely when discovering the misalignment.

    Maybe someone will asks, why so many doctors said that the optimal age for doing the orthodontics treatment is at eleven to thirteen? In theory, there is no strict age limit, the main reason for the teenagers needed the orthodontics treatment in everyone’s impression, is that the problem of misalignment just comes out in this period of time. The milk teeth have been just replaced already, the growth of children’s maxillofacial region is still at the rapid development period, and the orthodontics also needs to make use of the growth potential of the maxillofacial region to make sure the tooth movement and the efficiency of alveolar bone reconstruction to reach to the best status, thereby, to achieve the perfect orthodontics effect.

    But the grown-ups’ growth have already been completed, the sutura of the maxillofacial region has become to synostosis, plasticity is a little low. And the grown-ups’ metabolism speed is getting slower, the biological response drops down, so the orthodontics treatment is getting more complicated, then much more time will be needed for treatment.
