# What is the best age to start Orthodontic treatment?

I wouldn't say there's a best age, I'd probably suggest that the younger you are the quicker your teeth may move but we have a lot of patients here in their middle age and the treatment times and the duration is not massively extended. It's maybe only an extra couple of months depending upon the treatment plan.

Andrew qualified from the University of Liverpool in 2006, winning the Malcolm Foster Silver medal for the best undergraduate research project in his year. After a year in general dental practice, he returned to Liverpool Dental Hospital to complete a year of general professional training, which involved oral surgery, special care dentistry and paediatric rotations.
