What are the difficulty of adult orthodontic tooth

As an adult occlusal system has a special physiological state, does not have the advantage of children's growth and development of unique and easy to induce remodeling of the favorable conditions, so adult orthodontic tooth will be more difficult. In addition, adult patients with periodontal disease have a high degree of sensitivity of the alveolar bone, the treatment subject to certain restrictions. In order to get the teeth in orthodontic patients with and understanding, attention is drawn to send the following points:

1. Most adults suffer from different degrees of periodontitis, alveolar bone loss occurs, gingival recession, or even cause tooth misalignment, such as tooth elongation, forward, or fall off and so there tooth gap. In periodontitis, the presence of mobile dislocation teeth, will accelerate the absorption of alveolar bone. Therefore, orthodontic treatment, they must accept the need for periodontal treatment.

2. Orthodontic treatment of adult dental examination before the potential can not find the rest of the dental pulp or periodontal disease, or unanticipated problems dental instruments in the course of orthodontic treatment, may cause the active lesions. Pain, excess pus, loose teeth and other symptoms must be temporarily interrupted orthodontic treatment until disease receiving dental pulp, periodontal treatment, correction can only continue.
     
3. Adult dental orthodontic process, alveolar bone is easy to absorb, in order to avoid such a situation, and close the extraction gap adults sometimes need the help of dental and other repair methods.

4. Adults adapt to the conversion function is poor, there is potential for joint diseases likely to appear in adult orthodontic tooth joint dysfunction symptoms. The section of snapping pain, tell your doctor promptly to treatment.

5. Teeth clenching and bruxism (including bruxism), is not conducive to periodontal health, periodontal disease will increase. Emergence of such symptoms Root canal therapy clinic operations should be promptly told the doctor to diagnosis and treatment.

6. Systemic disease, or long-term use of steroid drugs or pregnancy, will affect the periodontal health of adult teeth should orthodontic treatment.

7. In front of some orthodontic problems can not be fully confirmed, according to the initial orthodontic diagnosis, treatment response and then by observation, diagnosis, determine the final treatment plan.

8. As an adult no longer growth potential of the craniofacial skeleton is out of adjustment with mild to moderate deformity caused only means of moving teeth with orthodontic methods to cover up some deformity, to improve the facial appearance of severe jaw malformations or require a radical improvement in the surface shape, must orthognathic jaw surgery to change the shape and position.
