Who should get braces?

In short, anyone who needs treatment.

It's a common misconception that braces are just for teenagers. The fact is that anyone, at any age, can benefit from orthodontic treatment— whether it's correcting a long-time bite problem that wasn't addressed in younger years, or catching developmental problems early.

• To ensure the best overall dental and facial development, all children should have an orthodontic consultation sometime between the ages of four and seven. Usually, nothing more than observation is needed (and we will continue to monitor progress at no charge) but if a problem is evident, taking action early can spare a lot of treatment and expense down the road.
  
  In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children see an orthodontist by age seven—sooner if something is obviously wrong.
  

• You're never too old for a beautiful smile. If you've been living with a bite problem for a long time, or been hiding your smile, it's time you found out how adult orthodontics can transform your smile—and your life.
