What is the best age for orthodontics for children?

After the age of permanent teeth, all the baby teeth are replaced by permanent teeth, this stage is the comprehensive stage of dental deformity, as long as the child cooperates, the tooth arrangement is crowded, the tooth position protrusion and so on can be carried out during this period**, which is a common age suitable for orthodontics. At the beginning of the permanent tooth stage, about 13 to 18 years old, the growth and metabolism of the jaw in children is still very fast, and the speed of tooth movement is relatively fast, which is the ideal age for orthodontics. Replacement period:

It is also a suitable age for orthodontics. About 7 to 13 years old, baby teeth are gradually replaced by permanent teeth, anterior teeth crossbite, individual teeth crossbite, mandible underdevelopment, deviation, bad oral habits should be timely**, but also to observe whether the order of tooth replacement is normal, and retain the tooth space left by tooth decay. At this stage, the growth and development of children's jaws changes greatly, for most of the teeth are not aligned, should not be done temporarily, as long as the growth and development of the jaw is normal, there is enough clearance, many temporary crowding can be adjusted and aligned.

Generally, depending on the maxillofacial deformity, the child's orthodontic treatment time will be different. For general dental deformities, the good time is the early permanent dentition, that is.

Ten. At the age of two or three, the child has just finished tooth replacement, and the growth and development are relatively vigorous, and the correction effect will be better. Functional deformity is in the replacement dentition period, that is, when 6 to 12 years old, if the correction is delayed, it may develop into bony deformity, so the good correction period should be in the replacement dentition period. As for the correction of bony deformities, it should be done at the peak of the child's growth and development, at the age of 10-12 years for girls and 11-13 years for boys.

The best age for orthodontics for children is divided into several stages and is suitable for children with different dental deformities.

First, it is at the age of 3 to 5 years in the deciduous teeth. Abnormal tooth alignment and occlusal relationship, such as individual tooth misalignment, should not be corrected immediately, and bad oral habits should continue to be observed and corrected, because during this period, the child's teeth are in the adjustment period, and the malformation can often be partially corrected by itself. Moreover, at this time, their growth and development are very fast, and improper orthodontics can affect development.

Second, the second is the replacement period of 6 to 12 years old. Malformations that severely impede growth and development require primary orthodontics. Most malformations are not straightened until the permanent teeth are replaced, i.e. around the age of 12.

Because the roots of the permanent teeth are gradually developed and the occlusal relationship between the upper and lower teeth is adjusted, the dentist can make a clear diagnosis of the type of malformation and take appropriate orthodontic treatment. After the orthodontic treatment is completed, it is easy to maintain a stable effect without major changes. It is not advisable for your child to straighten his teeth too early, but not too late.

In general, the best age for orthodontics for children is at the peak of their growth and development, i.e. 12-14 years for boys and 11-13 years for girls.

Generally speaking, the best correction time for most malocclusions is around 10 to 14 years old, because the children's teeth in this period have just been replaced, the body is in the period of puberty, the metabolism is vigorous, and there is a certain development potential, so the movement effect of the teeth is significant, and it can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.

For children's teeth there is crowding or protrusion, malocclusion, malocclusion, the method of orthodontics is generally selected, for children's orthodontics, it is generally recommended to be carried out at about 12 years old, 12 years old is called the age of orthodontics, which can play a multiplier effect with half the effort, but for the arrangement of teeth, excessive crowding or crossbite phenomenon, it is necessary to be able to carry out ** as soon as possible, in order to obtain better results, so go to the hospital in time to check, It is mainly based on the arrangement of individual teeth to formulate the orthodontic plan and time.

There is a difference between men and women, girls are generally around 11 to 13 years old, and boys are about 12 to 14 years old. That is, when you have just replaced all your teeth, it is the best age! The effect is ideal, and the speed of correction is relatively fast, which is not easy**!

The best time for orthodontic treatment in children is divided into functional orthodontic treatment (6 to 12 years old) and fixed orthodontic treatment (12 to 18 years old), and dentists call this period the "** period". Because the plasticity of children's bone tissue is strong during this period, the bone suture has not yet fused, and the jaw bone is gradually growing, and there is enough growth for bone tissue remodeling.

The best time for children's orthodontics is after the replacement of teeth, about 12 years old, the recovery is fast, and the time to wear braces is short.
