What is the Ideal Age to Start Orthodontic Braces Treatment

What is the Ideal Age to Start Orthodontic treatment - This is the most common doubt many people with Spacing or Crowded or irregularly arranged teeth have in their minds.
The most ideal age for starting Orthodontic treatment is 12 to 14 years of Age. This is the age when most of your permanent teeth have erupted and malocclusion can be identified. Before this age there is a phase known as "Ugly Duckling Stage" from 10-12 years (Erupting Canine) , here your child will be having spaces between upper front teeth as a result of the erupting canine which moves the teeth away from each other and again corrects the spaces by pushing them towards each other.
"P.S: Anywhere from 14 to 60 years of age you can get your Orthodontic treatment started"
So after the Eruption of Permanent Canines is when we can ideally start Orthodontic treatment. There are certain conditions which can be identified earlier between ages 6-8 years which might need intervention to prevent future development of Malocclusion. I have explained these 9 conditions in detail.
If your child has any of the above mentioned problems, please schedule a visit with your Dentist Or Orthodontist to get it analysed and discuss the Treatment Plan.
