The best age for orthodontics

In fact, people can undergo orthodontic surgery at any age, but there may be differences in the implementation of the results between children and adults. In adults, the face and skeleton are more formed than in children, so for simple orthodontic treatment, the usual orthodontic methods can be used, but for those with "complicated" teeth, who want to have straight teeth, additional maxillofacial surgical methods may be needed to assist in correcting the structural tissues of a child's jaw using the Functional Aligner, which is generally used to correct the structural tissues of a child's jaw. Functional braces used in correcting the structural organization of a child's jaw are generally not successful in adults.

How long does it take to straighten teeth

In general, it takes about a year to straighten children's teeth, while adults generally take about two years.

Because the growth and development of adults has been basically completed, the maxillofacial bone joints have become bony fusion, plasticity is very low, and the metabolic rate of adults has become slower, the biological reactivity is reduced, so the alveolar bone remodeling is slower, the teeth move relatively slowly, and the need for treatment time is longer. Therefore, adult orthodontic treatment should not be rushed, but should be gradual, if you insist on asking for a shorter time, it will bring adverse consequences.
