COMMON BASIC ORTHODONTIC QUESTIONS - PART 1

At What Age Can People Have Orthodontic 'treatment?

The biological process involved in moving teeth is the same at any age. Children
and adults can both benefit from orthodontics. The American Association of
Orthodontists recommends that children have an exam at age 7 so that severe
problems can be diagnosed early. Most kids, however, begin full or comprehensive
orthodontics between ages 10 and 14 when the majority of permanent teeth are
erupted. It is offen beneficial to assist the final permanent teeth in coming into their
ideal arrangement by space planning. Treatment in adolescents is also dynamic
because facial growth influences the position of the teeth and jaws- which usually
enhances the treatment outcome. Because an adults facial bones are no longer
growing, certain corrections may not be accomplished with braces alone.

What Causes Orthodontic Problems?

Dr. hilarshu Seathe

An orthodontic problem is called a malocclusion, meaning "bad bite. Some
examples of causes of malocclusion are crowded teeth, extra teeth, improperly
positioned teeth, eruption or sequence of eruption that is unfavorable, missing teeth,
or jaws that are out of alignment.

for Children
& Adults

Most malocclusions are inherited, although some can be acquired. Acquired
malocclusions can be caused by accidents, early or late loss of baby teeth, or
sucking of the thumb or fingers for a prolonged period of time. Inherited problems
may be a combination of one parents teeth, the other parent's jaw size and even a
grandparent's relations of upper and lower jaws.
