When and how to start orthodontic treatment?
The first step is to know the general state of your dental health and locate the problem we want to improve. To approach orthodontic treatments in our clinics, we speak with the patient to understand their expectations and outline the plan of action.
Depending on the age of the person, we will also recommend one type of procedure or another. We can say that it is ideal to start orthodontic treatment when all the permanent teeth have erupted or are about to erupt. Our professionals perform a free first visit where we review the patient’s dental condition, including a CT scan, to define the orthodontic problem, the most appropriate time to start treatment and the type of orthodontics.
