Orthodontic treatment is an important branch of dentistry used to properly align teeth and jaw structure. If not initiated at the right time, more complex and lengthy treatments may be required in the future. At Dehadent, we share with you the ideal orthodontic treatment initiation for children and the advantages of early diagnosis.

Why Is Orthodontic Treatment Important?

• Improving aesthetic appearance
• Ensuring proper chewing and speech functions
• Preventing jaw joint problems
• Protecting dental health

At What Age Should Orthodontic Treatment Begin?

The first orthodontic evaluation should generally be performed between the ages of 6 and 7. During this period, the fusion of primary and permanent teeth is observed, and jaw development is still ongoing.

• Ages 6-7: The initial evaluation identifies potential crowding, bite problems, and jaw misalignments.
• Ages 8-10: In cases where early intervention is necessary, treatment begins with removable appliances.
• Ages 12-14: After the permanent teeth are complete, detailed orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances can be applied.

Advantages of Early Diagnosis

• Shorter and more effective treatment process
• Guiding jaw development
• Reducing the need for tooth extractions
• Ensuring facial and jaw harmony
