Is there an age limit to orthodontic treatment?
There is NO age limit to orthodontic treatment. Although there is no age limit, there are conditions that could prevent adults from being a suitable candidate for orthodontic treatment. For example: advanced periodontal (gum) disease. It is recommended that age seven is a good time for your child’s first orthodontic examination. At this age, certain procedures can be done to lessen or eliminate the need for braces at an older age.
