Early Braces

The AAO recommends an initial consultation by an orthodontic specialist around age 7. In most cases, children only need one phase of braces. But there are certain reasons when early orthodontic treatment might be indicated.

Reasons early treatment is indicated:

  • Correct cross-bites, under-bites or other developmental problems that may interfere with growth and development of the teeth and jaws
  • Reduce risk of trauma for overly protruded teeth
  • Resolve impacted teeth
  • Improve severe tooth-positional issues for improved self-confidence through the formative years
