I suggest you go to Synchro Dental to see a doctor to check your child to see if her teeth have been replaced. Children’s orthodontics is generally done between 11-13 years old for boys and 10-12 years old for girls. For the optimal age for correction, generally speaking, the timing of dental correction should be before or during the period of rapid tooth growth.

The following periods are more suitable for orthodontic treatment. One is the occlusal period of deciduous teeth. When misalignment of deciduous teeth or dental crossbite (underbite) or open bite (partial teeth cannot bite together) occurs, early correction should be obtained. The best age for treatment is from 3 to 6 years old, and the course of treatment is about 6 sessions. About a month. The second is the mixed (replacement) occlusion period. Starting around the age of 7, new permanent teeth begin to erupt. The teeth grow rapidly and the bite is unstable. This is a period when dental deformities occur frequently. The third is the occlusion period of permanent teeth. All the deciduous teeth have been replaced. When the second and third large teeth erupt, it is another period of rapid growth, usually around 12 to 18 years old. At this time, the diagnosis of dental deformity is relatively clear, and correction can be achieved quickly during the rapid growth period. Fast and stable correction effect.

If you have missed the above correction period, adult orthodontics can be performed after the age of 18 to restore the functions of chewing, speech, and temporomandibular joints, and make the face beautiful. In severe cases, orthognathic surgery can be performed, and the effect is very obvious. Therefore, determining the best time for orthodontic treatment is not absolute. Doctors determine it based on the different types of dental deformities and the individual's growth and development. However, for many patients with facial deformities caused by teeth, timely treatment can achieve twice the result with half the effort. You can go to Synchro Dental’s website to find out. They have many discounts for the elderly and children.
