The time and type of orthodontic treatment is determined by the orthodontist according to the type and extent of dental or maxillofacial problems. In some cases, the need to start early orthodontic treatment from the age of eight in the form of removable braces appears. In other cases, removable orthodontic treatment may be delayed until the age of ten.
The recommended age for fixed early orthodontic treatment is usually 12 to 14 years old. During this treatment, which is performed after removable braces using fixed wires and special brackets, the teeth are in their perfect final shape.
In some cases, in addition to misaligned teeth, there may be problems with the jaw and face, and in this case early orthodontic treatment is accompanied by jaw and facial surgery, or what is known as jaw orthodontics.
