When to See an Orthodontist

その他

Even when happy, some people resist smiling. Or they cover their mouth with their hand. Their crooked teeth embarrass them.

That’s when you need to see an orthodontist.

The AAO recommends that children see an orthodontist no later than age 7, even if there are no problems. That’s because the jaw is still developing and it’s best to catch issues early.

“Most children go into orthodontic treatment when they are between 9 and 14 years old, but the average for girls is a little earlier,” Rogers says.

The typical adult patient might be 26 to 44 years old, but Rogers says he has also put braces on people in their 60s and 70s.

How long will treatment take? Orthodontists customize treatment for each patient. It usually takes one to three years.
