A member asked:
My sister is 13, and she would like to wear braces. our dad, thinks she should wait until her wisdom tooth is out. can she get them before the tooth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do not wait: The optimal orthodontic treatment often begins between ages 8 and 14. At this age orthodontist can identify spaced or crooked teeth and actively intervene to guide teeth into their correct positions and correct bite and function. See orthodontist before wisdom teeth are in.
