None: The only reason for not being able to start orthodontic therapy is the periodontal health of the teeth. No matter what age. I have treated patients in their 8th decade, and have refused treatment for reason cited for patients in their 1st decade. For children without the requisite number of adult teeth, treatment should be delayed until the proper developmental time.
