Early Treatment
Most national and international orthodontic societies recommend visiting a specialist orthodontist for assessment between age 8-10. This examination is recommended when your child has a mix of deciduous (baby) and permanent (adult) teeth. At this stage the permanent teeth have started to take the place of the deciduous teeth and the face and jaws are growing. A specialist orthodontist will be able to advice you whether orthodontic intervention is recommended, when the treatment should begin, what type of treatment will take, and an estimation of the treatment length can be provided.
Orthodontics in Adolescents
Several benefits of starting orthodontic treatment for teens between 10 - 14 years. One of the great benefits is to time the orthodontic treatment during the active growth stage; this will enhance the treatment outcomes in certain cases and helps orthodontists to correct severe bite problems such as severe overbite which might require a jaw surgery in adulthood if left untreated. Other benefits of orthodontic treatment in adolescence are to reduce the risk of trauma by improving teeth position, and to enable easier cleaning of the teeth which may reduce developing gum disease and cavities. Orthodontics improves chewing and biting capabilities and enhances a better smile which significantly improves the confidence of a teenager and positively reflects on his/ her quality of life.
Orthodontics in Adults
Age itself is not a deciding factor about having orthodontic treatment. orthodontists consider many variables when developing a customized treatment plan. Age is considered in the treatment planning to shape the possible treatment options and the techniques to be used. Advancements in orthodontic technologies have made treatment more comfortable and less noticeable than ever to get a confident smile and improve oral health at any age.
