Braces And Early Treatment
Braces have been around for over a hundred years, however the newer braces are much smaller, more attractive, and work much better. Although a beautiful smile with straight teeth is a major goal of treatment, correcting a bad bite or malocclusion is also equally important.
For this reason, the American Association of Orthodontics recommends that a patient first be seen at the age of 7, to allow for problems to be intercepted that might get worse later.
However, no matter what your age, it is never too late to create the smile you've always wanted.
