Orthodontics is suitable for all ages. Children as young as three or four years old and elders as old as eighty or ninety years old may become the target group for correction. As long as your periodontal condition and alveolar bone condition meet the requirements, you can have orthodontic treatment. Early intervention in children can correct facial deformities in time, which is good for facial development. The orthodontic effect of children aged eleven or twelve is indeed the best, but after this golden time, orthodontics can also be done.

Adult dentition deformity, if you don't do orthodontics, the cleaning function of teeth will decline, and you can't brush your teeth for a long time. It can also cause gingivitis and periodontal complications, shorten the service life of teeth and lead to "premature aging". Therefore, many people will begin to lose their teeth in their forties and fifties, and those who have the conditions to intervene will intervene as soon as possible.
