Orthodontics for Children

At a younger age children’s jaws are constantly growing to accommodate new teeth. We also believe that not all children need orthodontics treatment. But all children need an exam at an early age.

We stand firm along with the American Association of Orthodontics recommendation that a child’s initial orthodontic evaluation should occur at the first sign of orthodontic problems or no later than age 7. It is during this period that any problems with a child’s teeth are easily corrected with a shorter treatment period. Braces, retainers, and spacers are some of the orthodontic appliances used in their treatment.

Signs that your child may require orthodontic treatment:

  • The jaw is disproportionate to the face
  • Has a habit of frequent thumb-sucking
  • Chronically breathes from the mouth rather than the nose
  • Primary teeth fall out too soon or too late
  • Exhibits malocclusion (overbite/underbite)
  • Visible crowding

    Orthodontics for teens and preteens

    Most of our patients are teens and preteens. Between the ages of 11 and 17 is the most common time of a adolescent's life for orthodontic treatment.

    Most teeth should be grown in by the age of 12, excluding special cases and wisdom teeth. Once all the permanent teeth are developed, it is easier to identify issues that orthodontics can address.

    Some of these issues may include (but are not limited to)
  • crooked teeth
  • gaps
  • bad bites.

    • It is very rare that any of these oral health issues correct themselves. During this time, most parents turn to orthodontics with concern for their children’s oral health.

    Teens and Preteens

    Another benefit of orthodontic treatment during the adolescent years is how common braces are among their peers.

    Since their friends have braces, your teen will be more eager to undergo orthodontic treatment and feel more comfortable with the appearance of braces. All their friends are wearing braces, so they may be excited to wear them too!

    As they get older braces are no longer as cool, making teens more hesitant and less willing to wear braces. In addition to fitting in with their friends, children experience a lot of growth spurts at this age, creating a huge advantage to shaping their bite and teeth properly. The older they get, the more effort it takes to adjust their smile.

    Adult orthodontic treatment

    Don't feel left out. Braces aren't just for kids.

    It's a common belief that just because you did not get braces at a young age, you will never be able to get the smile you want.

    It is not too late.

    Tooth alignment can be corrected through orthodontic treatment at any age given that your gums and bone structure are healthy
