Treatment before the age of 10 is usually performed to correct some bite or teeth positioning issues, which may worsen in the short term and potentially harm or interfere with the symmetry of growth. Such treatment is usually shorter than comprehensive orthodontic treatment and only aims to fix that one major problem. This means that you could need further orthodontic treatment later. Dr. Christoph will assess the issue and advise if early treatment is recommended or if you can wait until you are ready for regular orthodontic treatment.
