At what age children should start using braces on their teeth?

See below: This would depend on the type and severity of the problem. Some dentists will apply mixed dentition braces.

Braces: All children by age 7 should have an orthodontic exam. Go to www.Braces.Org for more info. However, the right timing will be decided on your child's individual needs. Some thugs need to be fixed early and some things are better to correct later. Too many considerations to give a set time. Best to get a consult.

G & D decision: The appropriate time to begin orthodontic rx is a crana-facial growth and development decision, not an age decision. Children should have their first orthodontic check-up as a 7th birthday present. That way the orthodontist can decide with you the best path of care for your child.
