What problems should be paid attention to in adult orthodontics?

The damage caused by tooth deformity is believed to be felt by people who have had tooth deformity. The methods to correct deformed teeth include braces, missing teeth, dental implants, porcelain teeth, beauty crown and so on. So what should adults pay attention to when correcting deformed teeth? First, fully control the periodontal disease of teeth before correction. Generally speaking, adult malocclusion is often accompanied by other oral diseases, such as caries, periodontal disease, tooth loss, tooth wear, residual crown, residual roots, poor oral repair, temporomandibular joint diseases and so on. Therefore, before orthodontic treatment, it is necessary to thoroughly control the periodontal disease of the teeth and take out the internal prosthesis, otherwise it will affect the wearing of the appliance and the movement of the teeth. Second, adults should always maintain good oral hygiene conditions throughout the treatment process. Because the growth and development of adults have stopped, alveolar bone remodeling is relatively slow, and tooth movement is relatively slow, which requires a long treatment time. Adults are more prone to relapse after orthodontic treatment, so maintenance after treatment is very important; In addition to the conventional orthodontic treatment, for moderate and severe skeletal malocclusion, simply moving the teeth can not achieve the ideal effect, which requires orthognathic-orthodontic treatment. Due to the influence of occupation, psychological factors and other social activities, adults have more requirements on the length of orthodontic treatment, the aesthetic degree of appliances and the therapeutic effect, so they often choose lingual fixed appliances, ceramic brackets and other orthodontic devices that do not affect the aesthetic appearance. Third, make full ideological and psychological preparations. Due to the influence of subjective and objective factors, the treatment effect of adults is often not perfect, so adults should not rush to achieve success in orthodontic treatment, but should have full understanding and mental preparation for the complexity of treatment. Fourthly, adult orthodontics should consider the influence of general health.
