Growth spurt

The growth spurt is an acceleration of growth in adolescence and occurs in girls mostly at 11 to 12 years, in boys at 13 to 14 years, with a wide range of variation. In recent decades, the growth spurt has occurred earlier in most regions of the world (the secular trend). During the growth spurt there are ideal conditions for orthodontic treatments which can be performed much faster and easier during this phase than before and after.
