The pros and cons of orthodontic treatment at age 13

Pros: Correcting teeth at the age of 13 has its own advantages. If the teeth are simply misaligned, you can wait until the deciduous and permanent teeth are completely replaced, that is, when you are 12-13 years old.

Orthodontic correction in childhood can achieve twice the result with half the effort. The teeth are not completely fixed in the jaw bone. After the correction is completed, it does not need to be maintained for a long time to achieve ideal results. Moreover, the correction time for children is relatively shorter than that for adults.

Disadvantages: However, if there are some genetic factors, the development of the jaw has not been completed. If this is the case, orthodontic treatment is performed, and the jaw may continue to develop before the age of 16 or 25. It may This will lead to re-orthodontics.

If the dental hospital you choose is irregular and the doctor’s skills are not good, it will lead to failure of correction, and it may also cause the child’s teeth to become more misaligned and need to be corrected again.

So for orthodontic treatment, you must choose a regular hospital and doctor. For details, you can refer to the hospital’s qualifications, equipment, doctor’s qualifications, previous cases and interview experience, etc.
