Orthodontics refers to the use of devices to move teeth or underlying bone. Teeth can be moved at any age. "Ideal" results can beachieved in most children but only in a small percentage of adults.This is because in children both the bone around the teeth (alveolarprocess) and the jaw bones can be molded by braces as the childis growing. In adults the jaw bones can be altered only by surgery.Therefore, it is recommended that orthodontic intervention beconsidered as soon as a problem in teeth alignment is noticedby the child, parent, or dentist.
