Generally speaking, orthodontics is not recommended for children under 8 years old, because children's teeth are being replaced and there are many uncertainties. It is recommended to wait until after changing teeth, if there are irregular teeth? Or deformity, but some children have a long tooth changing cycle, which may last until 12 years old, so it is recommended to change teeth at 10~ 15 years old.
In addition, it also needs to be determined according to the child's tooth deformity. Tooth deformities are divided into functional deformities and skeletal deformities. Different types of deformities have different correction ages. For example, the recommended correction age of functional deformity is 10- 12 years old. Because functional deformity mostly occurs in this period, that is, dentition replacement period, if correction is delayed, osteogenic deformity may occur. If the tooth deformity caused by skeletal deformity should be corrected before the peak of children's growth and development, that is, girls 10- 12 years old and boys1-13 years old.
