It is always best for orthodontic treatment to occur when you are younger and before most of your adult teeth have arrived. This can save you from a lifetime of side effects that can occur due to crooked teeth or a misaligned jaw. If you are a parent, it is highly recommended to have your children examined to see if there are any skeletal issues that need to be adjusted. That said, orthodontic treatment can still be provided to adults and booking your consultation is the first step.
