What is the general age of orthodontics?
The age of orthodontics depends on malocclusion, and the optimal age of normal cases is 9~ 12 years old. More complicated cases can be intervened in advance, starting from around 3 years old at the earliest. For adults, the age of correction mainly depends on their periodontal condition and deformity.

Generally, permanent teeth erupt around 12 years old, which is the best age for orthodontics. At this time, the jaw has just formed, and it is easier to shift to the normal arrangement after receiving orthodontic force. For children with abnormal jaw development, functional orthodontics can be started at the age of 9.

If the family members themselves have serious "floor covering", "buck teeth" and "mandibular retraction", the 3-year-old child needs to go to the orthodontist for examination when his deciduous teeth erupt. If the genetic tendency is obvious, it needs to be corrected as soon as possible on the basis of children's cooperation.

If the best age is missed, the patient is not limited by age if he wants to correct it. As long as the periodontal health is good, the case characteristics can be deformed by evaluating whether it is suitable for correction, but the correction time and effect of adults may be different.
