What is the best age for orthodontics?
Actually, I don't understand it very well, but I helped you consult an expert in Gandong Stomatological Hospital.

Dental experts in yingtan pointed out that the best age for orthodontics is about 12 years old. Because at this time, the entire dental arch has been basically developed, the deciduous teeth have been basically replaced by permanent teeth, the roots of permanent teeth have been basically developed, and the occlusal relationship between upper and lower teeth has been adjusted. 12 years old is just adolescence, and the child's maxillofacial region is still in a period of rapid growth and development. Orthodontics also needs to make use of the potential of maxillofacial growth and development to ensure that the efficiency of tooth movement and alveolar bone reconstruction reaches the best state, so as to achieve perfect orthodontic effect.

However, the age of orthodontics for men and women will also be different. Because the growth and development period of girls is earlier than that of boys, generally speaking, it is best for girls to correct at the age of 10- 12, and it is best for boys to correct at the age of1-13. However, some dentofacial deformities, such as "covering the sky" and biting the lips, need to be treated at the age of 3-5; Some dentofacial deformities should be carried out when permanent teeth have begun to erupt, that is, when they are 8- 10 years old.

I hope it helps you!
