The timing of orthodontic treatment can play a big role in how effective and smooth the overall process will be. The ideal age to begin orthodontic care is typically between 9 and 14 years old. At this age, most children have a mix of baby teeth and permanent teeth, allowing for easier correction of misalignments before the bones fully harden. Early intervention not only shortens the treatment time but also helps address bite issues, overcrowding, or spacing problems that can impact a child’s smile and overall oral health. At Dr. Swati’s Dental Care, we take a gentle, personalized approach, evaluating each child’s unique dental needs to determine the best time to start treatment, ensuring a smooth and effective journey toward a confident smile.
