There is no need to worry too much about the position of the first teeth (baby teeth) in children. The gaps between these teeth are indicators of natural development. Tight contacts, as in the teeth of adults, may be an indication of lack of space and therefore crooked teeth that may occur in the future. Permanent teeth begin to erupt at the age of 6-7. However, there are not many problems between the ages of 7 and 9, until the incisors erupt. Each milk tooth has a falling time and sequence; Therefore, every permanent tooth has a eruption time and order. Until each milk tooth is permanently replaced  should be kept in place. Disruption of this order causes loss of space, and loss of space causes clutter.

​

Even if your family doctor refers you to an orthodontist at an early age, this does not always mean that treatment will be started too early. Most careful dentists want to make sure that a potential problem is under control and that the optimal time for treatment has not passed. While it is necessary to intervene in children's jaw problems at an early age, there is time for treatment only in cases where the teeth are irregular.

​

The teeth of adult patients can also be moved, so there is no time limit for such treatments. It may be possible that increasing age will prolong the treatment period and make the treatment a little more difficult. However, the age factor is not as important as the health of the supporting tissues of the teeth.
