Treatment timing

Treatment timing

The American Association of Orthodontists recommend an orthodontic evaluation by age 7, since this can help to avoid future orthodontic problems like eruption and crowding problems. In most cases orthodontic treatment could start between 10 and 14 years, when all of the permanent teeth are present. However, treatment timing will depend on the specific problems a patient has and so you can get an orthodontic treatment at any age.
