Through orthodontic treatment, problems like crooked or crowded
teeth, overbites or underbites, incorrect jaw position and disorders of the jaw joints are corrected. If left untreated, these problems can result in tooth decay, gum disease, headaches and earaches, as well as speaking, biting or chewing problems.
When is the right time for braces?
Dr. Shem Rakewa Dental Clinic – There is age limit for teeth alignment as long as the teeth and supporting structures are healthy.
However the ideal time for placement of
braces is between 10 and 14 years of age, when the head and mouth are still growing and the teeth are susceptible to orthodontic movement.
