When should my child start with braces?
Many parents have the same questions about pursuing orthodontic treatment. What is the best age to see the orthodontist? And is there a right age for getting braces?
Parents often assume this can only be done once all the teeth are in but certain bites and issues should be treated at younger ages before all permanent teeth have erupted. Some of these issues include:
• Overbite (Excess Overjet)
• Crossbites
• Underbite
• Uneven Bite
• Overcrowding
• Protruding Teeth
Your child should have an initial orthodontic consultation at the age of 7 so that your orthodontist can address any orthodontic concerns and check for these issues. If your child does not have any issues that require early treatment your child probably won’t need braces until the age of 10 to 12.
