WHAT IS THE BEST AGE TO VISIT AN ORTHODONTIST?
At our office, we see patients of all ages, including many adults. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children first see an orthodontist at age 7, or even earlier if your dentist notices developing problems. It is not always necessary to begin treatment at that time, but in many instances, interceptive orthodontics can mean a shorter time in braces later.
