What is the ideal age for my child to consider functional appliance therapy?
Age 8 is a great time for analysis. The longer you put off early interceptive care the less desirable are the results. By the age of 12, the intervention is much more complex. But that is not to say it is too late at that time. It simply means the sooner we intercede the better the results. We can still get acceptable results, but it takes more time and treatment.
