Adult orthodontic treatment can differ from that of younger patients primarily due to the lack of jaw growth in adults. This means that some jaw discrepancies may require surgical intervention. Adults are also more likely to have experienced gum or bone loss, which can affect treatment plans. Close coordination among dental specialists is often necessary to ensure comprehensive care. Additionally, adults may need to address existing dental issues, such as periodontal disease, before starting orthodontic treatmen

Braces should not prevent children from participating in sports or playing musical instruments. However, it might take some time to adjust. For contact sports, wearing a mouthguard is recommended to protect both the braces and the teeth. With musical instruments, especially wind instruments, children may need to practice to get used to playing with braces
Most patients feel a brief sensation of pressure across the bridge of the nose or teeth for about 5–10 minutes after a turn, but it is rarely described as “pain.”
