There are children who need orthodontic treatment from the age of 4 and a half years and others that have to wait until full permanent dentition . In any case, the pediatric dentist monitors your child's growth and devellopment from the age of 3 and can determine the proper age to start orthodontic treatment.
In addition to the obvious reasons, which are the good aesthetics of the mouth and teeth that contribute to the confidence of the child, orthodontic treatment aims at the proper functioning of the oral system. Also, straight teeth are cleaned better and do not risk having dental caries.
