                       Many people are concerned about one question: when is the most appropriate time to get orthodontic treatment? Generally speaking, after the baby teeth grow in around the age of 3, parents should check their children’s teeth to see if they have “enameled teeth” (lower teeth encircling upper teeth), especially if family members (three generations of direct and collateral relatives) have this condition, then they should take their children to the regular hospital for examination and treatment.
