The best age to do the orthodontic treatment is when you
are twelve
to thirteen years of age as
all the permanent teeth have usually erupted by this stage. The jaws are
growing at this age and so it is easier to expand your jaws and reshape your
mouth.
However, it may be worth seeking dental advice even earlier. By the age of seven to eight years, enough permanent teeth have come in and enough jaw growth has occurred that the dentist or orthodontist can identify current problems, anticipate future problems or alleviate parents' concerns if all seems normal. |
