Whats the best age for orthodontics?
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that a child first be seen by an orthodontist between the ages of 7 and 9. Early interceptive treatment can eliminate abnormal growth of the face and jaws, the need for extractions in treatment or even the need for braces. Orthodontia, however, isn’t limited to children and teenagers. Today, one of every five orthodontic patients is an adult. Why? Because many were denied proper orthodontic care as children and now find Orthocare System’s fees affordable. The rest of our adult patients come to us because they know orthodontics can improve their appearance, enhance their self-confidence and have a positive effect on their personal and professional lives. Whether you’re a child, teenager or adult, orthodontic treatment can give you straight teeth and a beautiful smile.
