Classic orthodontic treatment is usually started between the ages of 9-12.
However, sometimes, treatment can be started earlier, around the age of 7-8 in some cases, even when the patient still has some baby teeth. This may keep more serious problems from developing and may make treatment at a later age shorter or less complicated.
When early treatment is recommended, it doesn't necessarily mean that the child will wear braces.
Typically, it involves the use of materials and techniques to guide the growth of young bones as adult teeth are emerging, creating a better environment for those new permanent teeth.
These appliances may be removable or "fixed" in the mouth. They may be made of metal, ceramic, or plastic.
No matter when treatment begins, the purpose is to use gentle pressure to direct not only the teeth, but also the jaws into their proper positions.
When advised, early orthodontic treatment may be beneficial.
