Your questions,
answered clearly.

It can be advisable for children to have their first orthodontic assessment around age 7. Being examined at this age does not necessarily mean treatment will start; it allows growth and dental development to be monitored.

In adults whose teeth and surrounding tissues are suitable, orthodontic treatment can be considered. Age alone is not a barrier; the decision is made through a clinical exam and the necessary records.

No. The suitability of aligners is assessed based on the nature of the case, the targeted tooth movements, oral health, and the ability to wear the aligners consistently.

Duration varies according to the nature of the problem, the method used, growth and development stage, biological response, and patient compliance. A personal time estimate can be shared after examination and planning.

The interval between check-ups is determined by the treatment method used and the stage of treatment. Keeping the appointments recommended by your dentist is important for monitoring progress.

Teeth can show small movements throughout life. Using the retention appliances recommended after active treatment, along with check-ups, helps preserve the positions achieved.
