Koenigsberg-Lee At what age should orthodontic treatment begin? Although orthodontic treatment can be done at any age it is best carried out in young children 8-15 years of age. During This age it Is possible for the orthodontist to foresee any orthodontic problems that are likely to occur and can take preventive measures. This is called preventive orthodontics. It is also possible to intercept disorders of the bite at an early stage so that it does not mature to a big dental problem. This is called interceptive orthodontics. Dr. Nelson Hersh • and arsha Beattie Licensed Specialists for Children & Adults West Bloomfield Commerce Township 248.926.4100 The jaws are actively growing by 8-10 years of age and therefore are The ideal time to mold the jaws. The permanent teeth start erupting by 6-7 years of age and usually complete erupting by 11-14 years (all except the wisdom teeth). This would therefore be the ideal time to start treatment. At an early age the braces are more comfortable and the treatment duration is shorter. Advancing age makes the jaws harder and therefore difficult to mold the jaws and to move the teeth. A common misconception is that you should wait for all of The permanent teeth to have erupted. If the final permanent teeth are guided Into their ideal positions as they erupt They will be more stable as teeth have a "memory,' and the shorter time teeth are In the Improper position, the better. Additionally teeth that are biocked may be forced to erupt in awkward positions, may not be able to erupt at all, or affect good teeth adversely. This Is a reason why the orthodontic association recommends an exam by age 8-10.
