ull Braces or comprehensive orthodontics is most
commonly begun on kids between the ages of 10/
and 14, but this depends upon the dental eruption
and maturity. All permanent teeth do not need to be
erupted for many reasons. Orthodontic philosophy and
treatments utilize growth, and guidance of erupting teeth

treatment. Teeth are more comfortably moved when bones
are young and teeth have not become "set" in their position. The treatment
options can become limited or complicated by waiting.
Early treatment may also be of benefit if your child has a skeletal discrepancy.
This can be as simple as the palate not being wide enough, a cross-bite, or a
mismatch between the upper and lower jaws. This is called phase 1, as further
treatment may be needed when the child gets older. This phase of treatment
may begin as early as age 8.
The safest and best way to know when to begin orthodontic treatment is to visit
an orthodontic specialist to look at your child's situation. Even if treatment is
not necessary, the clinical exam can be referenced in the future, to see how the
mouth is changing, dental eruption, and growth direction, which are all factors
that assist in determining treatment. It is always best to find out early, rather
than late, when is the best time for treatment. Many orthodontists offer a free
consultation and a referral is not necessary from the dentist.
Our office is located on the border of West Bloomfield/Commerce Township
