If we were orthodontists, we would be asked countless questions every day, and there would be all kinds of questions. Is there age limit for dental plastic surgery? In a century of technology promotion, there is no age barrier. The orthodontist will remind you that there is no strict age or time limit for orthodontics. When do you have orthodontics? ok, Whether you are a 4-year-old friend who just went to primary school or a 70 year old uncle, your choice is up to you. Don't think blindly, as long as you have this requirement, you want to look young, eat more conveniently, and improve your face shape. Without worm teeth, the teeth will not be grinded strangely. What are you hesitating about! However, all kinds of dental plastic surgery do have an ideal age. Let's analyze them one by one.
Age limits for dental plastic surgery
1. Reverse occlusion (pocket)
In fact, cross bite is simply called "pocket tooth", that is, the lower teeth bite in front of the upper teeth. All children and parents must remember that if this happens, it only needs six words: early detection and early control.
Don't wait any longer! Because if you let yourself go, your jaw will eventually get bigger and longer. Therefore, children can go to the hospital when they are 3 to 5 years old. The faster the intervention, the lower the probability of future surgery. Because the consequences of anti occlusion are as follows, it is also called "shoehorn face" or "crescent face".
2. Open occlusion
If your baby has opened and closed, it means that your baby has opened and closed, and the teeth can't normally disconnect food, which has a great impact on hair.
The interference of open bite usually starts from 8 years old. If your baby blows his nose with mouth breathing at night, please take him to the ENT department to see if his adenoids or tonsils are hypertrophic. If they think they need to be removed, please listen to them.
If the baby has the habit of biting his/her nails and signature pen, parents need to help the baby to correct it decisively; If the baby has the habit of stretching his tongue, you need to find a dentist and wear a small auxiliary tool to help the baby correct this bad habit.
3. Deep cover (lug)
? Deep sealing and deep sealing are commonly referred to as protruding mouth, which is always reflected in that the lips cannot be closed under natural conditions, and the gums are exposed too much when smiling.
If there is a protruding mouth and it is very serious, then parents should not worry. The baby should be seen by the doctor when he is 8 to 9 years old. We should intervene in advance to prevent the development of the maxilla, and not let the baby's face become a "big protruding face". Otherwise, after the ideal orthodontic time, the bone process must be treated by surgery, which is really costly and painful!
4. Irregular teeth
The ideal orthodontic age is 12-14 for girls and 12-15 for boys.
In fact, at the age of 11-13, most people who correct all kinds of deformed teeth can get satisfactory results. Because the baby's teeth have grown up at this time, and the baby's alveoli are in a rich growth and development state at this time, a strong dental plastic surgery can adjust the baby's jaw growth and development in a larger situation. Therefore, this period is not only conducive to tooth movement, but also can improve some mild jaw growth problems.
After the age of 15, the peak period of the baby's growth and development is almost over. At this time, corrective treatment is done. From the experience of diagnosis and treatment, it is very similar to that of adults. As the growth and development potential of the alveolus declines, the fruit slowly declines with age.
After the age of 18, due to the slow metabolism of adult structure, the bone transformation capacity gradually decreases. With the increase of age, the risk of adult correction decreases with the increase of age. In short, the achievement of adult correction results is negatively related to age. The older the patient is, the slower the correction rate is, and the longer the cycle is, the lower the fruit will gradually decline.
Price of dental plastic surgery
If you wear conventional metal appliances, the price is usually around 6000 yuan for those under 18 years old, and at least 8000 yuan for those over 18 years old. If you wear invisible transparent braces, the price will be determined according to the plan determined by the doctor, ranging from 20000 to 50000. All adult bones grow. At this time, the correction time is longer, and they can be removed after being kept for about 1~2 years. During the correction period, pay attention to cleaning the mouth on time, and recover faster.
Teeth will become loose after plastic surgery
Teeth can never stay in place all their lives, but in the dynamic balance of stability and movement. Correction is to use external force to temporarily break the dynamic balance and move the teeth. It is normal to relax temporarily during the periodic movement of teeth caused by bone remodeling caused by correction. When the tooth moves to a new position, it will naturally return to dynamic balance and become stable again. At present, periodontal disease has become an important cause of adult tooth defects in China. In other words, the important reason for tooth aging is tooth loosening and shedding caused by periodontal disease, and the important factor for periodontal disease is oral plaque bacteria. Periodontal disease has nothing to do with correction.
