The most common question among parents is
“When do I bring my children to the orthodontist?”

Ask the Orthodontist

Full Braces or comprehensive orthodontics is most commonly begun on kids
between the ages of 10 ½ 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 into their ideal positions. Teeth may be blocked or have insufficient room
for eruption, so waiting may complicate 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.

Licensed Specialists
for Children
& Adults

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.
