Any age limitation if he/she want to do braces?

None: The only reason for not being able to start orthodontic therapy is the periodontal health of the teeth. No matter what age. I have treated patients in their 8th decade, and have refused treatment for reason cited for patients in their 1st decade. For children without the requisite number of adult teeth, treatment should be delayed until the proper developmental time.

Dental Braces: 1st Orthodontic examination recommended at Age 7. No, there is no age limitations Orthodontic treatment, but there are specific ages that offer the best windows for maximum successful treatment. Please see a qualified Orthodontic Specialist for an Initial Examination, discussion of your malocclusion, and discussion of treatments available. Make sure to disclose your full medical history.
