My teeth suddenly became crooked when I was 30 years old

People will stop growing teeth around the age of 30, but if you find that your teeth are crooked at this time, you should consider that it is because when you were young, your second teeth had just grown out, and you did not protect them well, often licked them with your tongue, ate hard things, and had the habit of cracking melon seeds. These are all reasons that may cause teeth to grow crooked. After encountering these dental problems, you must do a good job of correcting them, but the effect of tooth correction in adults is not as good as that in young people.

Age restriction

Adults have more limitations when it comes to receiving comprehensive orthodontic treatment than children. Tooth bite problems are caused by poor development of the upper and lower jaws. Since the face and bones of an adult have basically been formed, they must be cured through orthodontic treatment. Only by combining orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery can deviations in jaw development in adults be corrected. Functional appliances used to correct jaw structure in children are generally not successful in adults.

More and more adults are also seeking orthodontic treatment to improve their smile, correct their bite or correct other problems caused by injury, disease or long-term neglect of oral care. In today's society, people place more emphasis on personal appearance and health, and having a nice smile [and straight teeth] can give you a boost of confidence. A healthy, beautiful smile can boost self-confidence at any age.

Healthy teeth can be moved at any age. Many orthodontic problems in adults can be solved just as easily as in children. The forces applied during orthodontic treatment have the same effect on tooth movement in a sixty-year-old adult as in a twelve-year-old child. Of course, because the facial bones of adults no longer grow, some serious malocclusion problems cannot be corrected with braces alone. Sometimes they require maxillofacial surgery and orthodontics to solve them.

Reasons for rebound

1. The orthodontist did not perform the procedure properly. When performing orthodontic treatment, the doctor's operation determines the success or failure of the treatment. Without an experienced and skilled doctor, it is impossible to create good orthodontic conditions for consumers.

2. Teeth correction methods. A good orthodontic method can greatly consolidate the effect of orthodontic treatment. If adults still choose the traditional braces correction method, there is a high possibility of tooth rebound.

3. Consumers’ own maintenance. After orthodontic treatment, consumers not only need to maintain oral hygiene, but also need to correct previous bad oral habits and cultivate a healthy and scientific lifestyle.

Preventing orthodontic rebound

1. Eliminate bad oral habits: Bad oral habits such as lip biting and tongue sticking out must be completely eliminated before the retainer is removed.

2. Early treatment: By correcting the condition during the period of rapid jaw growth and development, relatively stable results can be achieved. Early treatment is recommended for cases such as twisted teeth.

3. Overcorrection of teeth, such as deep overbite or open bite, should be corrected to overcorrection beyond the normal overbite. The same correction is necessary for twisted teeth, and overcorrection of teeth can often prevent recurrence after correction.

4. Sometimes, after severe torsion of the tooth, if mechanical retention alone cannot achieve natural retention, the fibers around the cervical region of the tooth must be cut to obtain a stable result, which can reduce the retention time.
