The specialty of Rehan Dental surgery is Adult Orthodontics Treatment which deals primarily with malpositioned teeth and the jaws: the diagnosis, prevention, and correction. The benefits one can achieve in a good bite. Your upper and lower teeth fit together the way they should, so it’s easier to bite, chew, and speak. The other benefits of orthodontic treatment include a healthier mouth, a more pleasing appearance, and teeth that are more likely to last a lifetime.

 The typical treatment for malocclusion can take around 2 years to complete, with teeth metal braces being altered slightly every 6 to 8 weeks by the Orthodontics specialist at Rehan Dental surgery  There are multiple methods for adjusting malocclusion, depending on the needs of the individual patient.

Orthodontic awareness for treatment in growing patients there are more options for treating skeletal discrepancies, either promoting or restricting growth using functional appliances, orthodontic headgear, or a reverse pull facemask.

Most orthodontic work is started during the early permanent dentition stage before skeletal growth is completed. If skeletal growth has been completed, orthognathic surgery can be an option.

Extraction of teeth can be required in some cases to aid the orthodontic treatment. Starting the treatment process of over-jets and prominent upper teeth in children rather than waiting until the child has reached adolescence has been shown to reduce damage to the lateral and central incisors.

Adult orthodontic treatment is very different from that in children and there are many reasons for this but in recent years more and more adults are looking for orthodontic treatment for problems they may have been experiencing since childhood.

Orthodontic Treatment in Adults.

Due to the age gap, older patients suffer from conditions that younger patients don’t often suffer from such as insufficient bone between the roots for adequate blood supply, mild gingivitis infections, and marginal bone loss.

Bones in adults become harder and stop growing and the tissues due to aging become resistant to adjustments. All of these issues make orthodontic treatment in adults a more involved process as compared to that in younger patients.

Many adults tend to have a tooth or more extracted which can cause an issue because extraction sites can be unsuitable locations for teeth to move into. To counter this prosthetic bone pieces are added to the area. Closing gaps between teeth and keeping it closed is more difficult as an adult is doesn’t respond to pressure as growing bone does. Root resorption is another problem adults face more than children.

 In root resorption the body reabsorbs the root of a tooth leaving the tooth without an anchor.  The result of root resorption is that the tooth simply becomes loose and falls out but if root resorption is noticed in its early stages it is generally treatable.

There is also a greater risk of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and its symptoms may develop during treatment. Another one of the major reasons adult patients require orthodontic treatment is to correct an improper bite such as an overbite.

In these patients, there is often not enough room in the mouth to create space for the teeth to move back without extracting one or more teeth. Wearing down teeth over time makes the malocclusion worse.

Braces aren’t just for adults who never wore them as a teen. Sometimes adults find that the work they had done on their teeth when they were younger isn’t permanent, and now they need braces all over again. This may happen because a person didn’t realize they needed to keep wearing a retainer or it might just happen naturally over the years.
