The majority of children are treated when most, if not all, adult teeth have erupted. This is typically between 11-14 years old. The crowding, rotations, spacing and incorrect bites noticed at this point will not self-correct, in fact with age they may even worsen. The best time to treat is when patients are still growing. The skeletal jaw growth helps improve many patient’s bites in conjunction with orthodontic treatment.
Straight teeth help provide not just a functional bite, but also improves confidence and self-esteem. Research even shows it can improve job acceptance since a smile often makes a first impression. Help provide your child with a healthy, confident smile!
