The best age for children to wear braces to correct their teeth is 12- 16 years old. The permanent dentition began to form around 12 years old. At this time, once the teeth are misaligned, they will not disappear automatically, and can only be corrected by the treatment of orthodontists. This period is the best period for children's orthodontics, and the curative effect is the best. All kinds of dentition can be corrected by orthodontics.

There is no age limit for orthodontics. Of course, teenagers have fast metabolism and strong adaptability, and the time required for orthodontics is relatively short. But this does not mean that orthodontics is limited to minors. Adult patients can receive orthodontics as long as their periodontal conditions permit.

Extended data:

The course of orthodontic treatment is generally about two years, but the time required for treatment will increase or decrease according to the age, severity and dental reaction of each patient. The efficiency of orthodontic treatment can be greatly improved as long as we can cooperate well with orthodontists, make follow-up visits on time, maintain oral hygiene and health, and protect the appliance from being damaged.

In the initial stage of orthodontic treatment, there is a mild and temporary inflammatory reaction in the dental pulp, which indicates that the patient has pain or discomfort in the first few days at home, but the experiment proves that this effect has no clinical significance. This is also one of the side effects of orthodontics, but it is temporary.
