SEOUL THE NATURE
Orthodontic treatment must be tailored differently depending on the patient's age.
Seoul The Nature Dental Clinic recommends the most appropriate orthodontic approach for each age group.
If underdeveloped chin (retrognathia) or prognathism (underbite/crossbite) is suspected, an evaluation before age 8 is recommended. In other cases, consult an orthodontic specialist around ages 8–10.
Early intervention is especially important for prognathism. Treatment is carried out using minimal orthopedic jaw appliances to reduce discomfort.
For cases of retrognathia or facial asymmetry, it is recommended to begin orthodontic treatment by age 10 — before the permanent dentition fully erupts.
Whether or not jaw correction has been completed, once the permanent dentition is nearly fully established, comprehensive dental alignment treatment is initiated to achieve the ideal final result.
We assess your child's skeletal maturity and evaluate growth status accordingly,
using this as a reference for growth-based orthodontic planning.
Skeletal maturity assessment enables
more accurate prediction of the optimal treatment timing.
Orthodontic treatment for dental alignment is ideally initiated
around the time of puberty.
Around ages 12–13, when the permanent dentition is complete,
is considered the optimal timing for orthodontic treatment.
At this stage, teeth respond more readily to movement than in adults,
with less discomfort and greater overall effectiveness.
