Understanding Dental Age in Orthodontics
The Age Calculator determines chronological age and estimates dental development stage based on standard orthodontic guidelines. This is crucial for determining optimal timing for orthodontic treatment.
In orthodontics, chronological age doesn’t always match dental development. Some children develop faster or slower than average, which affects treatment planning.
Key Dental Development Stages:
- Primary Dentition (6 months – 6 years): All baby teeth present
- Mixed Dentition (6-12 years): Combination of baby and permanent teeth
- Early Permanent Dentition (12-15 years): Most permanent teeth erupted except wisdom teeth
- Adolescent Dentition (15-18 years): All permanent teeth typically present
Treatment Timing Considerations: Orthodontic treatment timing depends on the specific malocclusion, dental development stage, and growth potential. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation by age 7.
