Orthodontic treatment is appropriate both for children and adults. As long as the teeth are healthy, we can straighten them at any age.
However, it is true that some orthodontic pathologies have a simpler treatment if undertaken when younger – when the mandible and the maxilla are still developing. Therefore, we recommend a visit to the orthodontist at about age 7 – not necessarily to begin treatment but, rather, to plan for it.
More and more people are aware of the importance of having their teeth in good conditions. Teeth being properly aligned is not just a question of aesthetics, but also important in terms of functional and articular features.
As explained above, during the growth period it is easier to work on the alignment of teeth as well as the mandible or maxilla. Even so, thanks to the new techniques and materials, the orthodontist can correct serious defects in adults.
