More often than not, the vast majority of people will have all their permanent teeth by age 11. This makes being between the ages of 11-15 the ideal time to opt for orthodontic treatment, as it's much easier to detect potential issues such as crooked teeth, bad bites and gaps. As your body is growing quite rapidly at this young age, it means your orthodontist can take full advantage of these growth spurts, making treatment time much shorter than if you were an adult. There are plenty of orthodontic options available to you here at Seapoint Clinic - including conventional braces and Invisalign.

The benefits of orthodontic treatment are numerous, as healthy straight teeth can last a lifetime as they are less likely to be at risk of decay and periodontal disease. Problems with teeth can be caused by several factors including;

• Crowded teeth
• Irregular position of teeth
• Extra or missing teeth
• Thumb sucking
• Decay or gum disease
• Premature loss of baby teeth
