Adolescence constitutes the best period to undertake global orthodontic corrections. The majority of orthodontic patients are found in the 11 to 18 years age group.
- Certain persons mature and grow earlier than others. Although individual variations exist in growth and development, the ages between 11 to 13 years correspond to a period where the permanent dentition is almost completed but still offers some precious growth potential which is essential to successfully treat certain types of jaw problems.
- Treatments undertaken at the beginning of adolescence are often simpler, shorter and may necessitate fewer extractions of permanent teeth or complex procedures such as jaw surgery. However, orthodontic corrections are possible at any age in healthy individuals.
An orthodontic evaluation by Dr. Lemay will help you determine what is the ideal time for your child to start orthodontic treatment.
