You can hardly see a child who goes to the kids' dentist with eagerness. Children understand the importance of an aesthetic smile only when they grow up. That is why it is their parents duty to control the situation and take care of beautiful straight teeth of their child in future. Teeth braces are considered to be the most helpful strategy for the wrong occlusion treatment.

The problems with occlusion are quite common among children, the degree may be different but most children have them. It is very important to choose a proper time for orthodontic straightening of the teeth. Braces provide a significant influence not only on teeth but also on facial muscles and bones. That is why they must be worn not earlier than the teen years, that is 11-14 years. In this time primary occlusion transforms into a constant one. And such measurement is established not only because of safety considerations.

In this period the influence of teeth braces has the biggest possible effect. Childish jaws are not completely formed yet so they are much more vulnerable to the muscular and bone movement. Besides, wearing braces before the age of 15 allows shortening the retention period significantly. There are some other important conditions concerning the right time for braces.

Sometimes there are situations when there is no place for them to take the place in a tooth row so they begin to grow wrong. In this case, the effect of braces cannot be guaranteed.

2.The orthodontist must examine the muscular system of jaws and make conclusions about the individual peculiarities of its development. There is a lot of different situations and details that influence not only the choice of orthodontic system and the treatment strategy but its cost too.
