At what age can orthodontic treatment be performed?
At any age! Orthodontics is not just for children. Adult orthodontics is more complex and complicated but it is no less effective. On the other hand, it is no longer reimbursed by the social security system beyond 16 years. The aesthetic disadvantages always scare a little more in adulthood, but know that there are now very discrete devices.
Is it painful?
Orthodontic treatment involves a tooth displacement, which can cause inflammation. The patient may sometimes feel a slight discomfort. If there is pain, it is present at the beginning of the treatment and is lessened after a week. To remedy this, taking analgesics for a few days (paracetamol …) is the most suitable solution.
