The space available in the dental arches is affected by the difference in width […]

The American (AAO) and Canadian ( CAO) Associations of Orthodontists recommend that children have their first orthodontic evaluation or screening no later than age 7.

À quel âge devrait-on faire évaluer les enfants en orthodontie?

Here are a few important points about patients’ growth and development as it relates to orthodontics: Certain types of orthodontic problems can only be treated successfully if favorable growth exists (more particularly significant imbalances between the jaws) if jaw surgery is to be avoided.
