Is There An Age Limit For Braces?

Is There An Age Limit For Braces?

 

Correction of teeth with orthodontic treatment is possible at any age.

The best dental clinic in Turkey, Caretta Clinic receives questions in this direction from many of our patients who did not have the chance to receive orthodontic treatment by applying braces in childhood and youth. There is a general but wrong opinion in the society that orthodontic treatment (braces treatment) cannot be applied after a certain age, or that the teeth cannot be fixed.

 

 

AT WHAT AGE SHOULD ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT BE DONE?

 

As we said before; correction of teeth with orthodontic treatment is possible at any age. Braces can also be applied to adults by making a detailed personal planning with a clinical examination before treatment.

 

In the clinical examination in adults, the Orthodontist examines the general dental and gingival health as well as the tooth structure. The condition of the gums, the health of the bone surrounding the roots of the teeth, if any, implants, fillings, bridges, veneers, laminates, and root canal-treated teeth are evaluated and it is decided whether braces will be appropriate.

 

One of the most important issues in the treatment of adult patients with braces is the duration of treatment. Braces treatment should be completed as quickly as possible in terms of both the patient's social life and general oral hygiene. And adult patients want invisible solutions. Caretta Dental Clinic offers invisible orthodontic treatment in Turkey.

 

Techniques such as Invisalign, which is an invisible braces technique, provide great advantages in adult braces treatment. Since the treatment is invisible compared to other techniques, the patient's general oral and dental hygiene is preserved, a minimal or no painless treatment process is passed, and the patient does not have any problems with braces in his daily and social life. Caretta Clinic offers Invisalign treatment in Turkey for affordable prices.

 

In some cases, prior to prosthetic restorations, for example veneers, lamina applications, implant, bridge applications, it may be necessary to wear braces for a certain period of time in order to regulate the position of the teeth to be restored or adjacent teeth. In this way, both more aesthetic and healthier and long-lasting prosthetic treatments can be performed.

 

Today, a significant proportion of orthodontic patients are adults. While the number of adults who received braces treatment 30 years ago represented a very small group among those who received braces, today adults have a very significant proportion. This rate is increasing day by day, especially with the presentation of different alternatives. Orthodontic treatment can be applied to people over 50, 60 or even 70 years old, if needed and desired.

 

The biological process that occurs during the movement of the teeth during the braces treatment process is the same for all healthy individuals, young and old, but shows slight differences from person to person. It is not too late to take advantage of the positive opportunities provided by orthodontics – braces treatment.
