In principle, orthodontics can be done throughout life, but if the most appropriate age, then from a medical point of view, orthodontics has two golden periods, the first golden period is about 7 years old, this age when the child has just finished replacing the teeth, if the teeth growth is very irregular, then you can be orthodontics, relatively speaking, is relatively easy. It is relatively easy. The second golden period is 12 to 16 years old, this is the period of rapid growth of teeth, if this time to find that the growth of teeth is not very regular, then it is relatively easy to correct at this time. In addition, many parents find that their children's teeth are more irregular when they are in high school, and we can choose to have orthodontic treatment after the high school entrance examination, which has no effect on the children's health and study, so it is also a good choice. In addition, in the process of orthodontics, if you want to keep your teeth healthy, we need to pay attention to the following points:
1, use a special toothbrush to brush your teeth
In the process of orthodontics, due to wearing orthodontic tools, so cleaning the teeth has become very difficult, and this time we should use a special This kind of toothbrush is usually available in dental treatment centers, if we ask the doctor about it, and the cost of this kind of toothbrush is usually not very high.
2, develop a good habit of gargling
During the orthodontic period, the teeth are very susceptible to damage, this is due to the process of wearing orthodontic tools, the teeth are very susceptible to the erosion of some of the residual food, and thus slowly form cavities, so during this period, we should develop the habit of gargling, every time you eat something, you need to rinse reasonably. The first thing you need to do is to rinse your mouth properly.
3, as little as possible to eat snacks
The above we have mentioned, teeth in the orthodontic period is particularly not easy to clean, so during this period if we like to eat snacks very much, I suggest that we try to restrain their desire to eat snacks, wait for the orthodontic period after the past we eat snacks is not too late.
