Offering Orthodontics for Children and Adults in Boca Raton, FL (Florida)
 Children and adults can both benefit from orthodontics from Dr. Arthur Kapit, because
healthy teeth can be moved at almost any age. Monitoring facial
and physical growth and development is crucial to managing some
orthodontic problems well, thus the American Association of Orthodontists
recommends that all children have an orthodontic screening no later
than age seven. Some orthodontic problems may be easier to correct
if treated early. Waiting until all the permanent teeth have come
in, or until facial growth is nearly complete, may make correction
of some problems more difficult and may limit the results achieved.
Treatment time typically ranges from one to three years, depending
on the growth of the patient's mouth and face and the severity
of the problem. Patients grow at different rates and will respond
variously to orthodontic treatment, so the time to case completion
may differ from the original estimate. The patient's care of the
braces and diligent use of any prescribed rubber bands or headgear
is an important factor in achieving the most efficient treatment.
