In the last few years, there has been a major advancement in the orthodontic treatment of adult patients. Adult orthodontics differs from children's orthodontics in that there is virtually no more growth in adults and that the tooth-supporting structures, the periodontium, have changed.Because orthodontic treatment is done through the periodontium, having a healthy tooth supporting system is a must.
