Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment

Picture
Between the ages of 11 and 15 is the most common time for  orthodontic treatment, and for good reasons. By age 12, most- if not all- of  the permanent teeth have erupted and are in place, and crowding, gaps and bad  bites can easily be detected. These problems will hhardly ever correct  themselves, so this is when most parents decide to seek orthodontic treatment.

This is also a good time for orthodontic treatment because many of  the negative associations with braces are not present. Many adolescents in this  age range undergo orthodontic treatment, and they are very often able to be convinced to wear braces because they see their friends wearing them and want to fit in.

In addition, adolescents are growing rapidly and orthodontists can take advantage of these growth spurts to help shape the bite and teeth  correctly. At this age they high metabolisms which can help shorten overall  treatment time and reduce the discomfort of orthodontic treatment.
