Right Age for Orthodontics
Are you wondering what is the right age for orthodontics treatment? At Coleman Orthodontics, we can successfully correct most problems regardless of the patient’s age. But that does not mean that the orthodontic treatment starting age does not matter. There are many stages to orthodontic treatment and each case varies with age.
Children: Age 7
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that all children have a check-up with an orthodontist by the time they reach age 7. Apart from your dentist, an orthodontist can help detect any potential problems. At age 7, most children have a mix of adult and baby teeth. At this age, we can see potential orthodontic problems ranging from jaw growth to teeth. An early exam allows us to determine how and when a child's particular jaw and/or dental problems should be corrected for the optimal results.
Adolescents:
The most common orthodontic problems are ideally treated during this time period because of the growth adolescents encounter in this time. Usually, all or most permanent teeth are erupted. This is a great time to correct most problems, as the jaws are actively growing and their growth can be most easily modified during this time.
Adults: Any Age
Here at Coleman Orthodontics, we help our patients embrace the experience! With the best innovative technology and a board-certified Orthodontist, we are passionate about making our patients love their smiles. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and it is never too late to improve your smile. Our team works with all of our adult patients to achieve the adult patients' individual concerns.
