At what age should we consider braces for kids?
We recommend booking your child’s first orthodontic consultation between ages 7-9. By this stage, their back molars have likely grown in, and their bite is developing, making it the ideal time for an orthodontic assessment.
While treatment may not be needed right away, early screenings allow us to identify potential issues and plan the best approach for the future. Braces for kids, such as SureSmile® braces and clear aligner options like Invisalign® First, can help guide teeth into the right position early - often preventing more complex treatments later in life.
