However, advances in dental science and technology have made it possible to achieve positive results of orthodontic treatment even in people over 40 years of age. However, the optimal outcome is always higher with early orthodontic treatment.
According to dentists and orthodontists, the best time for a dental check-up is 7 years and the best time to start early orthodontic treatment is 8 to 9 years. The reason for this timing is the regrowth of the teeth and the expected and detectable changes in the teeth.
If there is a complication in the appearance, health, or position of the teeth, these ages are the best time for diagnosis and treatment.
Therefore, parents should be aware that their children’s dentist may advise an orthodontist to examine their children’s teeth at the age of seven, or even before and after the start of the process of falling milk teeth. The reason for this recommendation is to ensure that the teeth are arranged correctly and to initiate early orthodontic treatment if necessary.
The best time for early orthodontic treatment is when the permanent teeth are growing in.
