Orthodontic Treatment
While the term “orthodontics” usually conjures up an image of a teenager in braces, this dental specialty includes a wide range of services benefiting patients of all ages.
Orthodontic Treatment for Children
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children be seen by an orthodontist at age 7 for an accurate oral development history and to determine if early intervention is needed.

Teens are the perfect age for braces or Invisalign because they have the majority of their adult teeth, but their teeth are still able to move fairly easily.

Orthodontic Treatment for Teens and Adults
