How to correct overbite in adults

Overbite is a relatively common oral deformity. If an adult exhibits this symptom, it is related to the fact that the adult did not correct it in time in his childhood. Of course, it is also possible to correct the teeth after adulthood. There are many correction methods, such as ordinary orthodontics, invisible orthodontics and cosmetic crown correction are all relatively common methods. Patients can go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and then determine the treatment plan.

How to correct overbite in adults

1. Ordinary orthodontics.

The "iron teeth and steel teeth" correction method we usually see uses adhesives to stick the correction device to the teeth. Patients cannot take it off or put it on by themselves, and it can only be installed and removed and adjusted by the orthodontist. You need to go for a follow-up visit every month, and the doctor will gradually increase the force to move the teeth to the ideal designed state, and the orthodontic work is basically completed. After removing the braces, you will need to wear a retainer for a period of time to consolidate the orthodontic results and prevent recurrence.

2. Invisible orthodontics.

Invisible orthodontics is an orthodontic treatment in which all appliances are installed on the lingual side of the teeth, so it is also called lingual orthodontics. This orthodontic method does not allow for visible braces, and normal social and occupational activities can still be carried out during orthodontic treatment. Unconsciously, the tooth arrangement has changed and the facial image has changed. Moreover, the orthodontic appliance is precise, compact, and has less foreign body sensation in the mouth, which greatly improves the patient's comfort. The use of a robot to bend the orthodontic archwire greatly improves the accuracy and effect of the correction and shortens the treatment course.

3. Cosmetic crown correction

It is to correct deformed teeth by making porcelain crowns, which means grinding down the teeth evenly and then putting on a porcelain crown. The previous methods take a relatively long time to treat. Adult orthodontics generally takes one and a half to two years. Some people are concerned about such a long time. The biggest feature of porcelain correction is its short time. Generally, it requires two visits and a week, so porcelain correction is also called rapid correction.

For adults, if traditional orthodontic methods are used, the time required will be longer than for teenagers, generally 1-2 years. For quick correction, it is recommended to use cosmetic crown correction. The Haojing cosmetic crown correction introduced by Jiusi Dental does not require tooth extraction, is painless, and only takes 7 days. In your case, it is best to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. You can undergo orthodontic treatment, which does not damage the teeth and takes 1-2 years. You can also undergo porcelain tooth cosmetic restoration, which requires grinding your teeth smaller, and generally only takes a week.
