Orthodontics for teenagers

Orthodontics for teenagers

Adolescence is the ideal time to undertake most comprehensive orthodontic corrections. The majority of orthodontic patients are in this age group (between 11 and 18 years old). It is also important to note that the period between 11 and 14 years of age is an ideal stage of development for beginning orthodontic treatment, as the permanent dentition is almost complete and still has growth potential that may be essential for correcting certain imbalances affecting the jaws.
