How old can a child do orthodontics?
Children's orthodontics generally choose 12- 18 as the appropriate period. Orthodontics is related to age, but the younger the age, the better the orthodontic effect. Details are as follows:

Some dentofacial deformities need early treatment, such as mandibular protrusion, which needs to start from 3 to 5 years old. However, the best age for orthodontics is 12 to 18. At this time, the treatment time is generally short and the curative effect is good. /kloc-after 0/8 years old, the growth and development of teeth are basically completed, and the orthodontic effect at this time may not be as good as that of children; However, some serious skeletal malocclusion can not be corrected by orthodontics alone, and must be treated by surgery in adulthood after 18 years old.
