Orthodontics has become increasingly common, being one of the most requested dental treatments in clinics.

When making the decision to use them, it's normal to ask questions like whether it will hurt or if I'm at the ideal age to do it.

Therefore, today from Microdental Clinic we tell you everything you should know about this orthodontic treatment.

First of all...

A braces treatment consists of placing fixed orthodontic appliances on the teeth to correct dental alignment. Currently, there are other types of invisible treatments such as the well-known Spark.

Braces are attached to the teeth and connected through wires and elastic bands that apply gradual pressure to move teeth toward the desired position.

Perfect age for braces, yes or no?

The answer is no, there is no "ideal" age to begin this type of dental treatment. It is true that at some ages it will be more painful than others or take more time.

Once you have all the definitive dental pieces and after consultation with a professional, you can begin.

This age usually ranges from 10 to 13 years old. During this period, treatment will last less time, with less pain and less discomfort, as the maxillary bone is more moldable.

It's increasingly common to see teenagers with braces, and this despite being highly stigmatized in the past. Currently, they wear them with pride as it means that soon you'll have a perfect smile.

Finally, from 30 years old comes a good age, but somewhat complicated in this matter. The main cause is that the maxillary bone is more solidified, making it harder to mold teeth the right way.
