If the relationship between the lower and upper jaw bones bearing the teeth is normal and there is only a problem with the teeth, such abnormalities can be treated at any age.
However, treatment of problems involving the maxillofacial skeleton is possible, especially during the growth and development period. The stage of growth and development of the patient is determined by orthodontists on “cephalometric” or “hand-wrist” films. Because bone age and the patient’s chronological age do not always match each other. Severe skeletal problems, where the patient’s active growth and development period has ended, can be treated with a combination of orthodontic and surgical treatment called “orthognathic surgery”.
