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 Orthodontics recommends that children have an exam at age
7 so that severe problems can be diagnosed early. Most kids, however, begin
ull or comprehensive orthodontics between ages 10 and 14 when the majority
of permanent teeth are erupted. It is often 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
out come. Because an adult's facial bones are no longer growing, certain
corrections may not be accomplished with braces alone.

What Causes Orthodontic Problems?
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.

& 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 parent's teeth, the other parent's jaw
size and even a grandparent's relations of upper and lower jaws.
