10. Prognosis

Most people who receive treatment for misaligned teeth will have good results, especially if they seek help before the condition has caused significant damage to their teeth. It is best treated in childhood -- catching it early can prevent it from becoming more severe. Treatment of the condition in young children generally takes less time to complete and is, therefore, less costly. Adults can usually have their malocclusion treated successfully, although this is likely to take longer.
