How orthodontic treatment works?
Orthodontic treatment works on the principle of 'Bone Remodelling', the deposition and resorption of bone forming cells called osteoclasts. Orthodontic treatment brings about various alterations in the teeth, the dento - facial structures and the enveloping soft tissues. Alteration in teeth can be seen via movements of the tooth roots in the desired direction. Many dento- facial changes can also be seen during the orthodontic treatment such as forward positioning of the recessed jaws. In peripheral soft tissue covering the tooth structure many structural changes can be observed during and after the protocol.
Is this the right age?
Childern should have an orthodontic opinion around the age of 8 as many developing mal - occlusions can be detected and intercepted then and there. Proper counselling of the child's parents and guardians needs to be done about the age and its relation with the mal -occlusion as some of the anomalies are self - correcting namely 'The ugly duckling ' stage which can be observed in children between the age group of 7 to 9 yrs ; this is often mis- understood by most of the parents as severe defect developing in their child's teeth.For most patients , the right age for initiation of orthodontic treatment is when all the teeth have erupted in the mouth between the age 12 to 14 yrs. However, this is not the only age but yes the apt time for getting the treatment initiated as growth pattern is at peak within this age group; rendering good and relatively speedy results as comparison to the treatment initiated at the advance age. No doubt there is quite a lot of variation amongst individuals.
