Preventing early age to preserve the most teeth
The average age of first orthodontic visit is usually 7, 8 years old, transformed by permanent incisors. But treatment can be beneficial before that age. Acting early and recreate the place can often avoid extractions. 11/12 years to come the premolars and canines, the average age of treatment with rings. A child may have several problems at once, and overlapping teeth forward. Everything is repairable. According to global statistics, one in two children would require a departure.
Orthodontics in adults
The teeth are changing and getting older, like everyone in our organization! And a lack of space may also move to adulthood. 'As you get older it is not uncommon for bottom teeth overlap', says Dr. Bourdillat. Either the gums retract cause dental gums. Or when a tooth needs a prosthesis, with a crown, if the denture was tilted with time, it is better to straighten teeth before asking the prosthesis. Other times, abnormal growth can be expressed for example by a deformation of the lower jaw moving too. The surgery this prognathism of adulthood must be accompanied by an orthodontic treatment. Orthodontics is finally on the teeth as the root crowns which is natural. The only prosthesis on which it cannot intervene because the implant is the root is artificial.
