The optimal time for orthodontic treatment of ankylosis consists of three stages, the stage of 3 to 5 years old, the stage of 11 to 13 years old, and the stage after 18 years old.
1. 3 to 5 years old stage: generally for the anticuspids of the milk teeth, for the non-bony anterior teeth anticuspids, early correction is advocated, usually between the ages of 3 to 5 years old, when the child is able to cooperate with the orthodontic treatment. Timely interruption of pathogenic factors, such as biting the upper lip and other bad habits, to avoid further development of deformity.
2.11～13 years old stage: it is the early stage of permanent dentition, when adolescents are in the peak growth period, which is the best period for conventional orthodontic treatment. Clinically, suitable orthodontic methods can be chosen to correct the circumcision, which can shorten the course of treatment and improve the therapeutic effect.
3. After 18 years old: For severe bony anticuspids, when good facial changes cannot be achieved by orthodontic means alone, orthognathic surgery is often chosen to correct the anticuspids after the age of 18 years old.
