Ask The Orthodontist

"When is the right time
for my child to have full braces?"

Parents frequently ask about

Increasingly the case is being made for children to start
orthodontic treatment before they reach adolescence. As a
result, some orthodontists report that they are seeing 20%
more patients under the age of eleven than they did just a
few years ago. While problems with teeth and jaws may be
correct at any age, there are some compelling reasons to

teeth are easier to move and bones are more pliable they
lend themselves to greater changes in a short period of
time. Early treatment may also reduce the risk of relapse because teeth and bones

Every orthodontist's philosophy is a little different but most agree that when
treatment is begun at an early age, teeth can be moved into their proper positions
more easily with less physical discomfort for your child, and better retention after the
braces come off. Compliance may also be easier to obtain, as younger patients are
more anxious to cooperate depending upon maturity. Of course having a nicer smile
earlier also contributes to a better self-image for the child.

An August wedding is planned in
California.

Where a child is ready for fill' because at an earlier age can only be determined on an
individual basis and much depends upon their eruption pattern and sequence. This is
why orthodontists recommend a consultation appointment to see what is best for
your child.
