Best Dentists in Malabar Hill

The optimal age to begin orthodontic treatment is typically 7 to 9 years old. This is because at this time children have a combination of adult and baby teeth, making it easier to fix problems like crowding or an improper bite. Early intervention can prevent more severe issues as they get older. If your child has irregular teeth, difficulty biting or chewing food, or breathes through their mouth regularly, then seeing an orthodontist for assessment would be wise.
