Orthodontic treatment can be started at any age. Sometimes, it is easier to handle orthodontic problems if detected at an early age. Early treatment may prevent a patient from undergoing surgery or any other serious complications.

The symptoms are:

• Upper front teeth cover the majority of the lower teeth when biting together
• Upper front teeth are behind or inside the lower front teeth
• Crowded or overlapped teeth
