This is a question that adult patients have asked us at Cl\u00ednica Cervera a few times.<\/p>\n
It is true that it is a treatment that is recommended to be done during adolescence, but that does not mean that we cannot -or, depending on the case- we should- do it after the age of 30 or 50.<\/p>\n
Our specialist doctors in Orthodontics, Cristina Tall\u00f3 and Carme Trib\u00f3, answer us: Q: Can anyone, regardless of their age, correct the position of their teeth?<\/p>\n
Dr.<\/p>\n
Tall\u00f3: Age, in itself, is not a limiting factor.<\/p>\n
Any adult can resort to orthodontics whenever it is indicated, that is, whenever it is necessary for health, functional or aesthetic reasons.<\/p>\n
Dr.<\/p>\n
Tribune: No.<\/p>\n
In the case of adults, it is a more complex treatment since they are patients who may be missing teeth, who may have had dental reconstructions or with periodontal problems, such as periodontitis.<\/p>\n
In the latter case, for example, it would be necessary to treat periodontal disease first.<\/p>\n
For all this, it is very important that we are treated by a specialist with experience and training, capable of carrying out a completely personalized treatment.<\/p>\n
Dr.<\/p>\n
Tall\u00f3: There are patients who were unable to be treated when they were younger because their problem was not detected, or due to lack of motivation, and who decide to do it now.<\/p>\n
But above all, there are those people who begin to notice changes in their mouth that until now had not been too obvious and that with age begin to be so, such as changes in the position of the teeth, loss of gums, etc. These are natural changes that can occur over the years and that we can correct.<\/p>\n
Dr.<\/p>\n
Trib\u00f3n: A lot more.<\/p>\n
Current orthodontics has become a discipline that allows us to make the most of other oral treatments with the aim of solving much more complex problems: gum disease, lack of space to rehabilitate lost pieces, lack of bone to place implants, temporomandibular dysfunctions, preparation of teeth for future fillings, crowns or aesthetic laminates…An orthodontic treatment can prepare the mouth to receive subsequent rehabilitation with better, more predictable results that last longer…This is another reason why it is increasingly common to see people of a certain age with orthodontic appliances.<\/p>\n
Dr.<\/p>\n
Heel: There is no one type of treatment that is better than another.<\/p>\n
In other words, we cannot say that transparent aligners are better than fixed ones (brackets), nor vice versa.<\/p>\n
Each one has certain characteristics and it is the particularities of each patient that determine what the best orthodontic treatment will be in each case.<\/p>\n
Many times the patient arrives at the clinic requesting a specific orthodontic system, but it is very important that they know that the appliance is simply a working tool, and what will really determine the success of the treatment is the qualification of the professional who performs it.<\/p>\n
Dr.<\/p>\n
Trib\u00f3n: Younger!<\/p>\n
They are a kind of rejuvenation therapy.<\/p>\n
We still tend to think that orthodontics is exclusive to young people, so when we see it in adults, it gives us this feeling of “rejuvenation”.<\/p>\n
The truth is, once the treatment is finished, this sensation ends up becoming a reality because patients feel more confident and gain self-esteem when they see the changes in their mouth.<\/p>\n
No matter how old we are, we will always want to have a healthy and beautiful mouth. + info: Do \u200b\u200byou want to know more? <\/p>\n
