Is it the best time to wear a device? Yes !
Undertaking orthodontic treatment in adolescence is essential. Indeed, the appearance of the face is essential at this age. Correcting the smile of a young adult is supporting them in their self-confidence throughout their life. Thus, adolescence is an excellent time to perform all types of orthodontic corrections. Why ? At this time, all the permanent teeth have emerged. The growth potential is therefore at its optimum. This stage occurs around the age of 11 to 13, when the teeth are generally healthy. This makes the treatments easier.
Thus, the braces will do a work of rehabilitation by helping the growth of the jaws. For this, the average age at the end of growth is important to know: 15 years for girls and 17 years for boys.
In order to understand any orthodontic corrections necessary for your teenager, we strongly recommend that you visit us with your child at least once before the age of 12. For your young child, find information about children’s orthodontics.
