Orthodontics in Manchester
There is no real age limit to orthodontic treatment
There are a growing number of adults and young people seeking orthodontic treatment. The reasons for wanting straight teeth are often varied and personal to each individual but it is not unusual for people to have worn braces in the past.
The availability of more aesthetically pleasing appliances like Invisalign clear aligners, clear ceramic braces and hidden lingual braces has resulted in an increasing demand for adult orthodontics.
There is no age limit attached to orthodontic treatment, but it is important that you have a full and thorough consultation with a specialist orthodontist before starting your treatment journey, to ensure your suitability.
Orthodontics explained
Orthodontics focuses on the movement of teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly. Crooked teeth and teeth that do not fit together correctly are at higher risk of being lost early due to tooth erosion, increased pressure with masticatory forces and gum disease. One of the benefits of specialist orthodontic treatment is that teeth are more likely to last a lifetime and they are easier to clean when in a straight position.
Problems with teeth can be inherited or caused by factors such as:
- Crowded or spaced teeth
- Extra or missing teeth
- Irregular position of teeth
- Dental disease such as decay or gum disease
- Thumb sucking
- Premature or delayed loss of baby teeth
- Accidents or trauma
