Orthodontic Treatment Time Frame
Orthodontics Treatments, by kazemi.Successful orthodontic treatment can only be achieved with the total co-operation of both patients and their parents and usually this takes around 18-24 months to complete. However for more complicated orthodontic cases be patient as the treatments can take longer than one expected!
Orthodontic Treatment Guideline
Orthodontics Treatments, by kazemi.A general guideline:
- We encourage the referral of children at the age of 6-8 years, so that any growth disharmony and abnormal growth can be detected early and treatment planned for the optimal time.
- Treatment is often best started around 9 years, sometimes even earlier, to allow maximum facial change and shorter treatment times.
- Early treatment, when appropriate, can usually be carried out at an age when there are less schooling and social demands on the child, often making this an ideal time to be treated.
Dental irregularities in the teenage patient may still be treated with maximum efficiency to produce optimal results.

What is Orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontics Treatments, by kazemi.Orthodontic treatment usually involves wearing braces, either fixed or removable. These braces are used to straighten the teeth and correct the position of the teeth/bite.
Both children and adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment. The practice is not only concerned with the correction of position of the teeth, it also helps in boosting one confidence by lightening up one’s facial profile ( as when teeth grow outside their normal positions can often resulting in minor facial distortion).
