ng their teeth for longer, which is resulting in an increasing demand for orthodontic treatment to facilitate restorative and periodontal care.

 
DIFFICULTIES POSED BY ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT FOR ADULTS
Orthodontic treatment is usually carried out in children around the time of the pubertal growth spurt and/or soon after eruption of the permanent dentition. Both spontaneous and dynamic tooth movement are accomplished more readily at this age, and active growth facilitates the correction of skeletal discrepancies. In contrast, if orthodontic treatment is delayed until adulthood treatment may be complicated by the following:

• Negligible growth Although recent studies indicate that growth does continue throughout adulthood, this is at a much diminished rate compared with childhood. This means that the threshold for surgery is lower in adult patients with skeletal discrepancies or increased overbite.

• Reduced tissue blood supply and cell turnover As a result the response to orthodontic force is more sluggish (in children the initial reaction to orthodontic force occurs within 24 hours, whereas in adults it can take up to 3 weeks) and tissue reorganization following tooth movement takes longer.

• Reduced periodontal attachment The incidence and severity of periodontal attachment loss increases with age, and the load upon a reduced periodontium can be further exacerbated by tooth loss. In some cases the teeth are less able to resist soft tissue and occlusal forces, leading to migration and drifting of particularly the incisors. Where orthodontic treatment is planned for teeth with reduced periodontal support, the forces applied to the teeth need to be decreased accordingly, and patients with gingival recession should be counselled that orthodontic treatment may accelerate this problem.

• Missing and heavily restored teeth Tooth loss may lead to migration and/or tilting of the adjacent teeth and to over-eruption of the opposing teeth, thus contributing to disruption of the occlusion. In addition, atrophy of the alveolar bone following extraction can lead to ‘necking’ (Fig. 19.1). Inadequate restorations with poor contact points, deficient occlusal stops, or premature contacts may also lead to occlusal disharmonies and/or mandibular displacement. The choice of teeth for extraction in adults is often determined by the prognosis of individual teeth.

Adults are less able to adapt to discrepancies in the occlusion Therefore even more care is required to ensure that a good functional occlusion is achieved at the end of treatment.
