Orthodontics

What's the right age for Orthodontic Treatment?

All children should receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven.  This allows early identification of potential problems.  Certain orthodontic conditions are also best treated at this age.  Full braces are placed after most of the permanent teeth erupt, generally age ten to twelve.  Adults are also prime candidates for orthodontic treatment.

The timing of your treatment is VERY important; a consultation will allow us to better understand your needs.  Please contact our office if you have any questions.
