The Ideal Time for Orthodontic Care
Between the ages of 11 and 15 is the most common period for starting orthodontic treatment, and for good reason. By around age 12, most children have all of their permanent teeth fully erupted and in place, making it easier to detect issues such as crooked teeth, gaps, and bad bites. These dental problems rarely resolve on their own, which is why parents often seek orthodontic care during this stage.
Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment During Adolescence
Adolescents are usually more open to correcting alignment issues with braces or Invisalign®. Furthermore, the increased jaw growth and high metabolism typical of this age group can help reduce overall treatment time and discomfort.
