Children (Ages 7-10)
Interceptive, or early orthodontic treatment for children can have advantages. According to the American Association of Orthodontists guidelines, children should have orthodontic evaluations starting at age seven. If there are bite or alignment problems, early treatment could be indicated to improve function and appearance, boosting a child’s self-confidence. Early orthodontic treatments can include:
- Braces
- Palatal expanders
- Space maintainers
- Habit appliances
Adolescents/Teens (Ages 10-17)
The pre-teen and teenage years can be the most effective time to perform full orthodontic treatment. Once most of the the permanent teeth are in place (except the wisdom teeth), it is an ideal time to start comprehensive orthodontic treatment to address tooth alignment and bite issues. During this age, children go through a major growth spurt which can be utilized to increase the amount of bite correction which is possible. Adolescent and teen orthodontic treatment options include:
- Traditional braces
- Clear braces
- Invisalign Teen
