The best period of orthodontics is usually adolescence, especially between the ages of 12 and 18. Children in this period are at the peak of growth and development, and their teeth and jaws are constantly changing. It will be better to use this stage for corrective treatment.

The time of wearing braces depends on the patient's age, dental condition and treatment plan. Generally speaking, the correction and treatment time of adolescence is relatively short, which takes about 1-2 years. For adults, due to the mature development of jaws and teeth, the correction time may be a little longer, which takes about 2-3 years.

Specifically, the wearing time of braces is generally divided into two stages: one is the alignment stage, which requires teeth to be arranged neatly, and generally takes several months to one year; Secondly, it is the adjustment stage, which needs to adjust the relationship between the upper and lower jaws to make the teeth and jaws reach the best state, generally taking more than one year.

In short, orthodontics is a process that requires patience and perseverance. Patients need to wear braces carefully according to the doctor's treatment plan and requirements, and review and adjust regularly to achieve the best treatment effect. At the same time, we should also pay attention to oral hygiene and diet conditioning in the process of correction to avoid unnecessary harm to teeth.
