Orthodontic concerns for adults: Can I still have orthodontics at my age?

Orthodontic concerns for adults: Can I still have orthodontics at my age?

In fact, there is no age limit for orthodontics, whether you are 18, 28, 38, or 48... As long as your periodontal health is healthy and you have a heart that is constantly pursuing beauty, 

it is not an unattainable dream to have straight teeth again.

The teeth are wrapped in the alveolar bone, just like a big tree in the soil. Orthodontics is to apply a certain force to the teeth to make them move in the alveolar bone. 

Whether you are a teenager or a young person in your 30s or 40s, 

the principle is the same, so don't lose your smile and self-confidence because of your age.

If the patient has periodontal disease, and the orthodontic treatment is done without treatment, the orthodontic force of the teeth will accelerate the absorption of the alveolar bone around the root of the tooth, 

which will cause problems 

such as loosening or even loss of teeth. Therefore, although there is no age limit for orthodontic treatment, you must first deal with your periodontal problems before orthodontic treatment.
