The appropriate age for orthodontics

As long as your teeth are in your mouth, you can resort to orthodontic treatment to straighten your teeth. In general, a patient who does not have a problem with the jaw, and only needs to move the teeth, can see an orthodontist at any age, provided that the gums and jaw bones are healthy. However, there is an appropriate age for this type of treatment, which is affected by the type of deformity, its severity, gender, and other factors. In order to achieve the best results, it is necessary to carry out initial examinations, preventive measures and remedial measures at the right time and age.
