What is the right age to begin braces?
The timing of orthodontic treatment is extremely important and greatly affects the treatment result. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment (full braces) typically may begin between the ages of 10 and 13, depending on the individual, but the ideal time to start treatment is different for each individual. Since every patient is unique and tooth development varies from one individual to another, there is not a specific age that is best to begin orthodontic treatment. It is best to have regular growth and development checks with an orthodontist to help determine optimal treatment timing. Our goal is to reduce treatment time in full braces and provide the best and most stable results possible.
