Today’s topic is orthodontic treatment in the late 40s.

The patient started treatment because the front teeth seemed to be getting more and more crooked.

As mentioned, teeth naturally become crooked over time.

It is a sign of natural aging.

It seems like it would be most noticeable when smiling.

Apgujeong Yonsei Baro Dental Clinic sees many patients in their 40s and 50s.

Many people say their teeth have become crooked compared to before, and they feel burdened by fixed wire braces.

This patient also wanted clear orthodontic appliances, so Invisalign treatment was carried out.

This is what it looked like when the first set was completed.

The front teeth had not moved together enough.

It is not the patient’s fault, and it is not the director’s fault.

In general, human teeth do not always move the way we want.

If they moved according to a formula like that, everyone would be able to receive perfect treatment...

This time, all treatment has been completed.

The standard for whether Invisalign treatment is done well or poorly is how well the bite is formed.

An old prosthetic restoration was also redone.

The dates above show before-and-after comparison photos. Because this was middle-aged orthodontic treatment in the 40s, it took a little longer than it would for teenagers. Usually, children change appliances every week, but this patient wore each stage for 10 days, so even though the total number was not large, it took longer.

This was a choice made for middle-aged orthodontics in the late 40s to avoid strain on the gums and to ensure precise movement.

The patient was satisfied with the aligned teeth and finished treatment.

They said, “Was there really a device this good?”

They were pleased.

What is certain is that whether the method is Invisalign clear aligners or the age group is teens or 50s, it is aesthetically better to have straight teeth.

Even if there is no aesthetic meaning, middle-aged orthodontics is even better from a functional standpoint because it helps you use your teeth healthily for longer.

Orthodontic treatment is not a problem even in middle age, so

please get a consultation at a nearby orthodontic clinic
