Experts recommend children have an initial consultation with an orthodontist by the age of 7. An early consultation is helpful because there already might be a problem occuring that would benefit from early treatment or treatment may be needed in the future so we will monitor the patient accordingly. Additionally, no patient is "too old" for orthodontic treatment! As long as you have healthy teeth and gums then you are probably a candidate for orthodontics.
Orthodontic appliances may be removable or they may be bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, your teeth are slowly moved to the proper position. In addition to moving teeth appliances like palatal expanders can actually alter the size, shape and growth potential of the jaw bones.
Treatment length, especially in growing children and adolescents, is dependent on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your condition is. Receiving early treatment, sometimes referred to as Interceptive Treatment or Phase One, can also help ensure a quicker treatment time later on in life. Another big factor in a successful treatment is cooperation. The more involved and diligent a patient is, the quicker and more efficient the treatment will be.
