Is there an age limit for orthodontics?

In principle, orthodontics can be carried out for life, but if it is the most suitable age, then from a medical point of view, orthodontics has two golden periods, 1 golden period is about 7 years old. At this age, the child just changed his teeth. If the tooth growth is very irregular, then it can be corrected at this time, which is relatively easy. The second golden age is 12~ 16 years old, which is a period of rapid tooth growth. If irregular tooth growth is found at this time, it is relatively easy to correct it at this time. In addition, many parents find that their teeth are irregular when their children go to high school. At this time, we can also choose to do orthodontics after the college entrance examination, which has no effect on children's health and studies, and is also a good choice. In addition, in the process of orthodontics, if you want to keep your teeth healthy, you need to pay attention to the following points:

1, brush your teeth with a special toothbrush.

In the orthodontic process, it is very difficult to clean teeth because of wearing orthodontic tools. At this time, brush your teeth with a special toothbrush. This kind of toothbrush is generally sold in oral treatment institutions, as long as we ask the doctor. Generally, the cost of this toothbrush is not very high.

2. Develop a good habit of gargling.

During orthodontics, teeth are very fragile. This is because in the process of wearing orthodontic tools, teeth are easily eroded by some residual food, thus slowly forming tooth decay. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a good habit of gargling during this period, and gargle reasonably every time after eating.

3. Try to eat less snacks.

As we mentioned above, teeth are particularly difficult to clean during orthodontic treatment, so if we like snacks very much during this period, I suggest that we should try our best to restrain our desire to eat snacks, and it is not too late to eat snacks after orthodontic treatment.
