The first stage suitable for braces is when the child is 7 – 11 years old. The doctor will monitor the mixed dentition for the purpose of prophylaxis, intervention, correction of misalignments, creating the right jawbone space for the permanent teeth to grow. There are common problems such as deep bite, overbite or malocclusion,… that can be eliminated with functional devices.
In the second stage, when the child is 12-17 years old, the jawbone develops more firmly, in accordance with the intervention, the teeth have fully grown. This is the best stage for braces with brackets. The goal of this treatment phase is to move the teeth and rearrange the teeth to achieve optimal aesthetic and functional results.
Unlike children, at the age of 18 – 30 years old, their body has developed completely, bones and teeth are no longer soft, so the duration of braces in this period will be prolonged. At the age of 30, braces will be of low efficiency and the duration of treatment will be longer when young. Although the time may be longer than otherwise, braces at age 30 are not inadmissible. Orthodontics can be performed and get the desired results with the visit, advice and commitment of the Dentist who specializes in orthodontics.
