Is Orthodontic Treatment Okay for Adults? (Orthodontics for People in Their 20s and 30s)

Is orthodontic treatment okay for adults?

Orthodontics for people in their 20s and 30s

Start before it gets any later!

As you enter your 20s and 30s,

since you have already lived through the years leading up to adulthood,

changing your appearance now can feel

a little awkward,

so you may hesitate to consider cosmetic procedures.

Also, many people think that if an adult gets orthodontic treatment,

they will have to experience more side effects.

Before it gets even later,

we hope you correct crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, and malocclusion

and be reborn with a more beautiful smile!

Treatment timing

The age considered appropriate for orthodontic treatment

is 14 to 16, when the growing skeletal structure is flexible.

That is why orthodontics for people in their 20s and 30s

may feel even more unfamiliar,

but since the skeletal structure has already settled,

the treatment period and cost may be higher,

yet orthodontics for people in their 20s and 30s

can still sufficiently improve crooked teeth and malocclusion.

Clear aligners

Another reason orthodontics for people in their 20s and 30s

may feel awkward is the orthodontic appliances,

because people first think of traditional wire braces,

which offer outstanding orthodontic results and are relatively inexpensive.

Traditional wire braces

are less aesthetic, uncomfortable, and can cause wounds.

So the recommended orthodontic appliance is

a clear aligner.

Clear aligners are completely invisible from the outside

and are highly effective for a wide range of cases of crooked teeth and malocclusion.

The average number of visits is only once every 3 to 6 months,

so they are especially recommended for those who do not have much time.

Even severe crooked teeth and malocclusion

can of course be corrected sufficiently with clear aligners,

but to prevent incomplete treatment,

fine adjustments can be performed additionally after clear aligner treatment is completed.

Partial orthodontics

If you did not feel the need to correct your teeth during childhood,

orthodontic treatment for people in their 20s and 30s

may mean that full orthodontic treatment is not necessary.

In such cases, partial orthodontics alone can be performed.

Using the LPA Osstem orthodontic appliance,

the front teeth can be selectively corrected.

Because it is partial orthodontics,

both the treatment period and cost are lower than with full orthodontics.

If only one arch, either the upper or lower jaw, is treated,

the treatment period and cost are significantly reduced.

Since LPA is in a mini-tube form,

it causes less foreign-body sensation and discomfort,

and it guides teeth movement quickly with less force.

If the bite fits well,

if the position of the canine teeth or crowded teeth is not severely abnormal,

and if the gap between the front teeth is within 3 mm,

partial orthodontics is possible.

Combination orthodontics

If you want to proceed with traditional wire braces rather than clear aligners or partial orthodontics,

but still want aesthetics

and want efficiency in terms of time and cost,

combination orthodontics may be recommended.

Combination orthodontics uses several traditional orthodontic appliances together,

increasing orthodontic effectiveness

while also maximizing aesthetics as much as possible.

The method of combination orthodontics is mainly

to apply lingual braces for teeth that are easily visible,

ceramic braces for teeth that are somewhat noticeable,

and metal braces for teeth that are not visible at all.

Orthodontic clinic for people in their 20s and 30s

Of course, if the clinic is convenient for people in their 20s and 30s,

this orthodontic process will be even easier.
