Getting the Timing Right for Teens
Most teenagers are best treated between 11 and 14: the adult teeth are through, yet active growth remains to be harnessed for bite correction that's far harder to achieve once growth stops.
Some cases benefit from earlier review at 7–10 — crossbites, severe protrusion with large overjets, and developing underbites, where interceptive treatment reduces later severity. An orthodontist in Dundyvan can advise whether early intervention fits.
Leave it until growth has finished and certain corrections become slower and more limited than they'd have been a few years earlier.
NHS or Private for Your Teenager in Dundyvan?
