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.
