Braces are the most common orthodontic option for both children and adults. Bonded to the teeth, braces are “always on” and work effectively to improve smiles and correct bite issues.
Advances in orthodontics have made metal braces more comfortable and gentler on the teeth and gums. Ceramic braces, which are made of clear or tooth-colored brackets, offer a discreet and visually appealing alternative.
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that children get a check-up with an orthodontist at the first sign of an orthodontic problem, but no later than age 7.
Although orthodontic treatment typically starts between the ages of 9 and 14, some children may benefit from early intervention.
Everyone deserves a confident smile. In fact, healthy teeth can be moved at any age. Whether you’re 25 or 55, it’s never too late to invest in your smile. Embrace the journey, and let your smile shine at every stage of life!
