When is the most suitable age to start Orthodontic treatment?

It would not be correct to give an exact age range for orthodontic treatment. However, orthodontic treatment is often not possible at a very young age because tooth formation has not been completed yet.
The earlier the conditions that require orthodontic treatment are detected, the more successful the treatment process and the results are. That is why regular dental check-ups are recommended starting from the age of 7. Conditions such as anterior crossbite, protrusion of the anterior teeth, and narrowness in the upper jaw are problems that can manifest themselves at this age. Of course, starting orthodontic treatment at a young age is advantageous in many ways, however, nowadays, orthodontic treatment is frequently applied also in adult patients and successful results are obtained.

How long does the orthodontic treatment take?

The duration of orthodontic treatment varies according to the orthodontic treatment procedure and the patient’s orthodontic problem. Orthodontic treatment is continued until the desired result is achieved and takes about one year on average. However, depending on the biological structures of some individuals, the severity of the problem, and the health of their teeth and jawbones, this period can exceed 2 years.
