According to the American Academy of Orthodontics, it\u2019s important to start considering orthodontics much earlier, with children being evaluated by an orthodontist by age 7 for optimal results. During the evaluation, an orthodontist will carefully assess the child&#8217;s dental and skeletal development to identify any concerns that may impact their oral health and future smile. This includes examining teeth crowding, bite problems, or jaw misalignment. Early detection of such issues is crucial as it allows for the creation of a personalized treatment plan to guide jaw development and encourage proper permanent tooth eruption. By intervening early, orthodontic treatment can help prevent or minimize the severity of future orthodontic problems, potentially avoiding the need for extensive treatments like tooth extractions or jaw surgeries. Additionally, early intervention may address habits like thumb-sucking, which can negatively affect dental development. By addressing these concerns at an early stage, children can achieve a healthier, more stable smile in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_id=&#8221;dentalsection2&#8243; module_class=&#8221;sec_whatis2 col_rev&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f7f7f7&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||28px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/miamiimplantdentist.com\/ortho\/education-center\/braces-for-adults-clientcityurl\/\">Adult Treatment<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>While orthodontic treatment is commonly associated with children and teenagers, adults can also benefit significantly from it.

Archwires are then placed within the brackets and gradually adjusted to guide the teeth into better positions. Metal braces are highly effective and suitable for patients of all ages.<\/li>\n<li>Damon braces: Similar to traditional braces, Damon braces also consist of brackets bonded to the teeth. However, the archwire attaches to the brackets using a unique sliding mechanism. This innovative approach often results in reduced discomfort and shorter treatment times for patients.<\/li>\n<li>Damon clear braces: These braces offer the same advantages as Damon braces but feature clear brackets that blend in with the natural color of the teeth. This makes the treatment nearly invisible, providing patients with a more aesthetically pleasing option.<\/li>\n<li>Clear aligners: Customized for each patient, clear aligners are a popular alternative to traditional braces. These transparent, removable plastic trays gradually move the teeth into better positions. Clear aligners offer the advantage of being virtually invisible and can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, making them a convenient choice for many patients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_id=&#8221;dentalsection4&#8243; module_class=&#8221;sec_whatis4 col_rev&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#f7f7f7&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;21px||7px|||&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;3_5,2_5&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||28px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|||on|||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||19px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Treatment Length<\/h2>\n<p>The duration of orthodontic treatment can vary depending on individual circumstances. During your consultation with drName at practiceName, a comprehensive evaluation will be conducted to determine the complexity of your orthodontic needs. Minor orthodontic issues generally require less time to correct, while more severe problems or complications may extend the treatment duration. Compliance with drName&#8217;s instructions, including regular check-ups and proper care of braces or aligners, is also essential for optimal results. On average, orthodontic treatment typically lasts between one to three years. However, it&#8217;s important to note that the primary goal is to achieve beautiful, long-lasting results rather than rushing through the process. By following drName&#8217;s guidance and staying committed to the treatment plan, you can obtain the smile you&#8217;ve always desired.
